Jimmy - An Ordinary Guy

His years spanned 1908-1997 reaching the grand age of 89 played many a character in his life giving each one his special shine My memories of Jimmy Stewart goes back many a year for me 'Dear Brigitte' was the first I saw a lovely film seeing the lovelier BB Jimmy covered many different parts of many types he did play he was so good in westerns 'Winchester 73 and 'Shenandoah' made my day He loved music also too played the accordion as well as sing showed this talent on the screen 'Glenn Miller story' was the real thing The movie 'What a Wonderful Life' George Bailey was his most famous role this was his favourite movie in it our hearts he stole 'Rear Window' alongside Grace Kelly was a favourite also for many a fan but there were so many to highlight in a life of a ordinary man James Stewart had a voice like no other with such a recognisable drawl it made his appeal so much greater many great memories we're left to recall

thanks Toquyen, these types of writes are so difficult to do as you have so much info which can't all go in and as well as trying to make it poetic but appealing as well. So glad you liked it, God bless, Gordon
