There's a lovely birthday tribute to Jimmy Stewart here, at

jimmydaily . Enjoy! And if you're a fan, you might consider joining. It's a great community, devoted to a great man.

ETA: Oh, I didn't realize the post was locked! Sorry.

I don't think they'll mind if I share a couple of quotes from it:

"I've always hurt inside when I've met somebody truly lonely. Even with my dogs. ... That's why I always have two of them about the same age--so they can keep each other company. I have been told by people who know a helluva lot more about dogs than I do that they're not capable of loneliness. But I just don't believe it. I think every living creature is capable of feeling left out and I almost took it as a duty for one creature to watch out for another."

-- Jimmy Stewart

"I think it would be true to say that Jim actually has gone out of his way many times to be particularly attentive to me. The more beautiful and glamorous his leading lady was, the more attention he paid to me. I asked him once why he did that, and he said, 'Because I want you to never feel anything less than the most special thing in my life'."

-- Gloria Stewart (they were married for 44 years)
