>>
>>64380180
Probably not. Paul Newman maybe?
>>
Damn I never knew he was brigidier general

I'd say Audie Murphy is tied
>>
>>64380180
Ronald Reagan
>>
>>64380180
bigger, nope. Lots of other patriots, but James Stewart was fucking goat. He didn't take shit from anybody.

Winchester '73 is still my favorite western from that era.
>>
>>64380259
While Regan served in the Army, he didn't serve overseas. Jimmy Stewart was told by his military superiors not to server abroad, and to stay in the home front but he petitioned several times to be deployed. He was a hardcore pilot. So yeah, definitely beats Reagan.

>>64380283
Gotta love Hollywood before it was infected with leftist scum
>>
>>64380349
By that rationale Audie Fucking Murphy beats both hands down
>>
>>64380259
Reagan was no patriot. He hated his country. That's why he wanted to kill all the poor people.

>>64380389
Didn't they tone down and omit some of the shit he did because they didn't think audiences would believe it happened?
>>
>>64380442
Only man to have won both a Purple Heart and an Oscar for Best Actor
>>
>>64380389
Except Murphy became an actor after the war. He wasn't an actor who took off to go serve his country and leave a cushy job behind where he got to be the leading many for several hot women of the time.

Not trying to put him down or anything but this is about timing. Stewart was being pressured to not go serve his country but he told everyone to go fuck themselves and did it anyway. He was already a famous actor who didn't have to go fight.
>>
>>64380489
why don't you just marry Jimmy Stewart, jeez
>>
>>64380180
Non-american here. Did he have some sort of accent or was it a speech impediment? He sounds really cozy tbqh

>tfw will never be a badass marine

>>64380180
Played a massive cuck in North By Northwest and few other Hitchcock films though, left us with the mess that feminism spawned. And looking back it's just saddening to know that It's a Wonderful Life only applies to values that were prevalent in the 50's.
>>
>>64380605

Jimmy Stewart wasn't in North by Northwest. That was Cary Grant and he was hardly a cuck.

That was Cary Grant you moron
>>
>>64380180
Apparently he was a great person. He also rejected the Hollywood lifestyle and didn't wear fancy clothes or buy expensive shit.

Over 3000 people turned up to his funeral.

>tfw there's no conservative role models in Hollywood anymore

Yeah, James Stewart sucked in His Girl Friday as well.

Niven was in the British army, left during peacetime, went to Hollywood and starred in movies and returned to the British army in 1939. Didn't talk much about it.

>>64380528
Accent. The guy grew up in rural Pennsylvania in the 1910s. People talked funny then and there, he would have dropped it if it wasn't his signature. Kept it till his death.

Ah. I was under the impression he was further right than that. You've still got Chuck Norris though.

Great actor but can't help but thinking of this moment when he's mentioned.

She got old. She didn't become a high test milf, but her face aged a bunch. If only noses stopped growing.

>>64380994

Man, I wish I could think of a comeback as cool as that. These stars knew how to think on their feet.

>>64381039
He's witty as fuck.

>That was bound to happen
>The only laugh that man will ever get is for stripping down and showing the world his shortcomings

Even if the laughter gave him some time to think of a response that was so quick and just perfect. Stars today can't even handle an unprepared question on a fucking talk show.

>>64381086
>Literally pulls at his bowtie because he's uncomfortable

I thought movies made that up. What a great guy.

Did they just fucking panic or something?

Probably, not like it was expected

>>64381163
I know but it's just laughable. What did they think that was going to accomplish? Make the presenter walk off stage before reading out the winner?
