James Stewart

James Stewart (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997) was one of America’s most beloved and enduring actors, whose distinctive voice and quintessential “everyman” persona made him a true Hollywood icon. His collaboration with director Frank Capra defined his early stardom, cementing his image as the embodiment of American integrity in classics like Mr. Smith Goes to Washington and the timeless holiday favorite, It’s a Wonderful Life. In a brilliant shift, director Alfred Hitchcock later subverted this wholesome image, casting Stewart in masterful suspense thrillers like Rear Window and Vertigo that explored a darker, more obsessive side to his characters. A major MGM star who won an Academy Award for The Philadelphia Story (1940), his on-screen decency was backed by his real-life heroism as a decorated bomber pilot in World War II, solidifying his legacy as a legendary and versatile performer.
