James “Jimmy” Stewart: The Great Hollywood Actor

When Jimmy Stewart snagged his Oscar for The Philadelphia Story, he did something totally Jimmy Stewart-like. Instead of keeping it on his mantel like most folks would, he handed it over to his dad to showcase in their hardware store back home.

But here’s the twist: Stewart’s dad wasn’t exactly the artsy type. When Jimmy broke the news to him, his dad was like, “I hear you won some kind of award. What is it, a plaque or something?” When it comes to dads, they’ll just never get it.
