Born in Indiana, PA. He had a couple legs up in life ... he was 6'3" and attended Princeton. From a military family, he was also a WWII military pilot and flew active combat missions receiving both the U.S. Distinguished Flying Cross, and the French Croix de Guerre. He was a great American, and also a strong Republican.

"You Can't Take It With You" is probably my favorite Jimmy Stewart film, though he was in so many good ones who can pick?
