In the history of the movie industry, among actors and celebrities, Jimmy Stewart (1908-1997) is arguably the most beloved and respected. From his 80 films to his popular appearances on The Johnny Carson Show and his poetry readings, there is no doubt Jimmy Stewart was the most likable movie actor of all time. If all of that were not enough, Jimmy Stewart flew twenty highly dangerous bombing missions over Germany during World War II and one more over Vietnam in 1966. At the peak of Stewart’s fame, after winning an Academy Award, Stewart insisted on serving his country, facing the high probability of death and leaving behind a very lucrative movie career.

The new movie “Jimmy” is mostly about Jimmy Stewart’s career in the Air Force during World War II.
