The other day Maryanne, Sarah, and I were at Narf and Pauline's. They had the local PBS affiliate on the TV, and the movie The Philadelphia Story came on. I'm not that familiar with it, but was pleased to see that it featured such top-notch actors as Cary Grant, Katharine Hepburn and Jimmy Stewart.
One of the things I happened to remember is seeing Andy Rooney on 60 Minutes comment about Jimmy Stewart: "He was a bomber pilot in WWII and he did it better than he acted."
This could be taken in one of two ways. Either Rooney meant it as a slight against Stewart's acting ability, or a compliment to his piloting skills. I thought Rooney meant the latter.
In fact, on a Google search I found a website that not only relates Stewart's exemplary service in the military, but that of many other celebrities and nobles as well.
They just don't make them like that any more, do they?
