A Tribute to James Stewart (1908-1997)

What I admire the most about James Stewart was his remarkable ability to create unforgettable roles. And as a most accomplished actor, his film selection was nothing short of excellent, hence that all of his films have become classics.

In 1992, I wrote a letter to James Stewart. I wasn't expecting anything at that time but to my astonishment, he replied to my letter a few weeks later and also sent me the photo that you see on the left.

I learned that his favourite movie is It's a Wonderful life. Of the four films he made with Alfred Hitchcock, Rear Window is his favourite. He wanted very much to play Charles Lindbergh in the The Spirit Of St.Louis and he is very proud of that movie.
