I put Jimmy Stewart in my top three actors, but if someone really pushes me to settle on one number one, I choose Jimmy. Besides being a great actor he was a patriot, a humble man and as far as I know never gave in to the temptations of Hollywood.

I met him on his 75th Birthday when he came back to his hometown (Indiana, PA). A class act all the way...here's the statue of him in front of the present day county courthouse...
This is him after V-J Day in front of the old courthouse, which is still there and looks pretty much the same, although it's been converted to office space...

General Jimmy Stewart, to boot. He served his country ably in the military.
