Hollywood today needs more people like Jimmy Stewart. His humility is my favorite attribute of his. Giving praise where praise is due, not focusing on himself. I watch "It's a Wonderful Life" every Christmas. ❤
What a great man and actor. What career he had. Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor. His hard to beat. I really enjoyed this. Thanks for sharing this video.
If anyone needed proof just how much Jimmy Stewart was loved in Hollywood, just the fact that Princess Grace was sitting beside him says it all. She almost never returned to Hollywood for any public event. So sad that only 2 years late she was dead.
A pity that John Wayne had died the Summer before on June 11, 1979, so he couldn't honor his friend and colleague, especially in Duke's last film, "The Shootist" that they shared together. They don't make them like these folks anymore. Henry Fonda was not long for this world with his passing with his last film, "On Golden Pond" in 1981 and his passing on August 12, 1982. So many of these wonderful folks are now gone to the Eternal. And I miss them all and am grateful for the talent they left behind. More than a few of these folks passed within a few years of this presentation.
I didn't get the joke about his mother being his same age. Hoffman either seemed humbled, shy, uncomfortable, or awed by all that he was given to stand there and talk from his youthful perspective in 1980. And how Hoffman had never seen "It's A Wonderful Life" before this date is fascinating. As for Stewart's war experience, it's enough to say that Stewart experienced his own trauma and PTSD for many years.

Back when we had actors worth liking
i like what hoffman said about how stewart represented an america we kinda wish was still around.
Jimmy Stewart was the REAL DEAL.
From the beginning to the end, this was pure class that I don’t think we’ll ever see again at this level!
Thank You for sharing this video, indeed! ❤
One of the greatest ❤

What great speech Dustin Hoffman delivered.
