Grand opening night!

Hello--and welcome! I've decided to start my own blog. I'm sure I'll be writing to an audience of two - myself and whoever stumbles across this site.

This blog is dedicated to my favorite actor, Jimmy Stewart. "Why Jimmy?" You ask. Well, I'll tell you:

It all started when I was in the 3rd grade. We watched It's A Wonderful Life in class. I had seen the movie before, but this time I specifically remember it making an impact on me. Not necessarily the movie, I mean I thought it was a good movie, but I just couldn't seem to take my eyes off Jimmy. He seemed like the perfect gentleman and the most handsome man I had ever seen. (Who knew I had that much taste at the age of 9? *wink*) It was then that I always looked forward to watching IAWL around Christmas. Then about maybe 3 years ago, I started getting into classic television, one of those shows was The Alfred Hitchcock Hour. It was on every Sunday night, so I would always enjoy watching it. My parents suggested I watch one of his movies since I liked the show so much. So, the next time my Mother went to the library, she picked me up a copy of Rear Window. I noticed Jimmy was in it and I remembered that he was also in IAWL. So I watched Rear Window with my parents and I absolutely loved it! I thought it was a great movie. Jimmy especially, made an impression, and yes, I thought he was just as handsome in 1954 as he was in IAWL. So I started doing research on him and watching more of his films. And now here I am today. Starting a blog in honor of my favorite actor. My life has been made so much better by discovering Jimmy and his wonderful movies, and I don't think I'd be the same without him.

I hope to share this joy with other fans and possibly introduce Jimmy to new fans as well. I'll post pictures, my film reviews, television schedules, news, etc. A few stray Classic Hollywood/interest items may also sneak in once in a while, but other then that, this blog is strictly Jimmy-related. I hope you all enjoy the blog! :D

I'd also like to wish Jimmy a very happy 101st birthday (which was yesterday, May 20.) Happy birthday, Jimmy!
