I am a fan of both Jimmy Stewart and his movies. I did not realize Miller was only 30, born in 1914 shot down 1944. Actually Glenn Miller was born in 1904 in Clarinda, Iowa. He died at the age of 40. By the way, Jimmy Stewart was born four years later than Glenn Miller, so he was in his mid-40's when "The Glenn Miller Story" was being made.
Thanks for clearing that up I was listening to the 40’s on 4 the other day and the announcer said he was born in 1914 I thought that was a little late as I'd always thought Miller was about 40 when he was shot down...
