Today is Jimmy Stewart's (1908-1997) birthday. For sure one of my favourite actors, you might remember him from such films as Vertigo, Rear Window, and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.
And if you haven't already, make sure to also check out The Shop Around the Corner, Rope, and The Philadelphia Story (amongst others).
His final role was Chief Rocket Science Professor is the TV series "Goof Troop" in the classic episode "E=MC Goof". And you thought Orson Welles's turn as Unicron had the market cornered on unfortunate swan songs.
But (un)fortunately I don't have a clip of that, instead check out quite possibly the best drunk acting ever, and the reason C.K. Dexter Haven is quite definitely the best screen name ever. I present Jimmy Stewart as Macaulay Conor in The Philadelphia Story (1940):
Cary Grant and Stewart, what a screen team! At any point in this movie, I felt they might start high-fiving each other.
