The honor, respect, and love in this video for Jimmy Stewart touch my soul. Our country sure could use a big dose of this decency today. RIP Mr. Stewart.
Wonderful To See One Of The Many Great Actors Of Hollywood Honored At The Kennedy Center James Stewart 1983 With Carol Burnett He Will Always Be Remembered. 😊
James Stewart showed us all the perfect example of what it means to be a gentle person in everything one does, be it acting, soldiering, fathering, husbandry, citizenship, and the list goes on and on. Thank you very much for this public service on behalf of all of us.
To be a gifted actor, an airforce hero, star in memorable films, immortal films-- all this and remain sincerre,, as honest as Abe. An incredible accomplishment!
Jimmy Stewart was a favorite actor of mine -- I always loved his movies! I heard him recite a poem about his dog, "Beau" once, on the Johnny Carson show that brought us all to tears, including him! I have that poem now, and read it in honor of my precious dog that I recently had to have put down, after her companionship of over a decade -- very, very difficult. Jimmy understood that, as was obvious in his poem.
I appreciated the way how profoundly Carol Burnett paid homage to Jimmy Stewart. I respected Jimmy for his great decency, courage and was an exampler par excellence to all and sundry. His film Its a Wonderful Life was one of his masterpiece for posterity.
Wow !! The talent and the greatness in that room that night. Jimmy Stewart, Ronald Reagan, the second queen of comedy Carol Burnet, Chuck Yeager, USAFA Choir. Just the best
Thank you for sharing! I was one of those cadets! It is one of my fondest musical memories. We were honored to be able to sing for one of our own, Gen Jimmy Stewart.
Jimmy Stewart was one of the all time greats in the entertainment industry. He was truly authentic and always seemed comfortable in his own skin. An American classic. I miss him dearly.
That bit in "Its A Wonderful Life" where he is praying to God....Oh My....Gets Me Every Time I Watch It 😢😢😢😢😢I've never seen anyone else look so desperate...he plays it so well! "Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings" Absolute Classic!!
I have loved "It's a Wonderful Life " since I was a little girl...my Christmas would be so sad if I happened to have missed seeing it that year...I'm 54 now, so I can tell you how shocked and extremely saddened and disappointed when I read about how much he disliked blacks and other people of color...I was completely floored....you may think he's great, but any human being that could make the amazing movies that he made.or present himself to be such a respectable and diplomatic, could have that kind of animosity towards another American is beyond my understanding....I will never look at another movie that he appears in the same again....and as I watch this honor to him, I just shake my head....and this is a respected military man😒
Ernestine you’re not remembering that the majority of white actors felt the same way about anyone who wasn’t white. I don’t understand why people put those actors on pedestals when the majority were very ignorant.
@@ernestinetate4153 Please provide the link or documentation about this alleged claim about Mr. Stewart. This is the first time I have heard anyone, anywhere say this about him.
+K Kampy So True. When I see this I remember what Carol told I think to Barbara Walters once, and that was that Jimmy Stewart always reminded her of her father..(who she said. "was a drunk, but a loveable one")
I've never seen Carol Burnett so vulnerable and starstruck. She's always oozed confidence. That testifies to how strong her feeling for Jimmy Stewart were.
@@TheOneandOnlyD-R-E she was always very self-deprecating about her voice. I always thought it was quite beautiful but I guess she isn't a classic Diva type
Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorite actors, and to my Mom her favorite. I loved him in movies like "Harvey", "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", and "It's A Wonderful Life".
I can remember watching this on TV that night...and it still brings tears to my eyes. Here's to you, Brigadier General James Stewart...you embodied the finest of what it means to be a GOOD person.
I don't even bother watching the Kennedy Center Honors anymore because THIS was the ultimate for me. Most now being "honored" aren't worthy of the honor. Jimmy was.
Watching some of these videos, today, Christmas 2020....to find something to remember, find hope in and this, for a few minutes, allowed me to feel it. Seeing Carol Burnett cry as she was singing to Jimmy Stewart, 'Auld Lange Syne'....got me crying, too. As that poem and song are about...things that are remembered and bring us joy always have to be remembered. Merry Christmas, to all.
He was one of a breed of men I don't see too much of anymore. And I miss them. Today's heroes are often emotionally lopsided, personally & psychologically off-kilter child-men who may possess awesome, prodigious high-tech genius or entrepreneurship, but as far as simply doing the kind, decent thing for the people who were put in their lives to love and protect, they're out to lunch. I give you the times.
watching his immediate reaction to the cadets entrance brought me to tears along with him. There will never be another Jimmy Stewart but we sure could use one.
I just came here from his reading of a poem he wrote dedicated to his dog, Beau. Now I'm really a sobbing mess and ever so grateful that my parents introduced us color TV brats to the stars of black and white.
Jimmy Stewart was one of the greats. No one can come cross to his acting abilities now. Thank you so much for the share. Hope to see some more soon. Nice bring back great memories in this mixed up world right now.
He is at rest now this accordion player, this former hunter who became a conservationist, this pilot, this man so desperately in love with his wife, and his twin girls. He is gone now this tall, lanky, stammering small town Pennsylvania boy. Just a average guy , not perfect known off screen to have a violent temper at times just an average joe. Just an average Joe who was the first actor to enlist a year before Pearl Harbor who rose to the rank of brigadier general, and earned many medals as a hero, just an average joe who won an Oscars and Hollywood"s highest honors and respect as well. Just an average joe that everybody liked and admired, who was the best friend a world can have. He cheers us when we are sad, gives us wisdom when are lost, gives us excitement to rescue us from boredom, and boy was he brave and funny. He helped defeat the most evil mad man the world ever knew. He is gone now and is in the arms of his beloved wife, but he has left us hundreds of hours of entertainment, all and all he didn't do bad for an average Joe.
+Lynn Turman Agreed, I was bowled over when I first saw it, and my response today is the same..Their honest and sincerity has made it timeless...her emotions show there's not an ounce of artifice in what Carol Burnett says about Mr. Stewart...
Jeez! I loved Ronald Reagan , Burt Lancaster, I loved Jimmy Stewart, I loved Gregory Peck, I loved Cary Grant and Henry Fonda and all you great Americans of that time who were my role models growing up and for me are a reason that America is eternally great!
WOW!!!!!! What a magnificent tribute to a magnificent gentleman. Carol did a great job keeping her emotions together singing the last part of Auld Lang Syne. I know I would have started crying with love and deep respect for Jimmy. Sooooo beautiful!! Thank you for posting this video.
I can remember watching this and crying when it first aired...and I have been looking for it on TH-cam for years. THANK YOU. It brought more than a wee tear to my eye...I can totally understand Carol's feelings.
+Melanie Young Thank you!! So glad you found it here! Me too, loved it as a 'kid' , Jimmy Stewart was becoming a real model for me...had just seen him in Anatomy of a Murder and his sincerity was like a beautiful breath of fresh air. So I just loved this tribute, it's been tucked away as a 'prized possession' that was cherished at the time. And Carol Burnett is as honest and sincere as you can get, it's almost as if it didn't matter that anyone else was there!
His feelings about people who weren’t white turns my stomach and shows, clearly that he’s not that “nice,great person” everyone would like to think that he is.
As long as there are feelings of appreciation for the goodness of the human heart and of truth and decency as portrayed by James Stewart I will not loose hope that this hard days will pass and people will once again be decent once again.
Watching this and others Kennedy awards in their early days on July 4th 2018. I got tears in my eyes cause we are living in a much harder world then back then. I thank you for posting this cause it bring back memories of a time where we accept each other the way they was, entertainer knew how to make life enjoyable even when time was rough.
Ha,ha! You accepted people for who they were? Hardly! Jimmy was known to dislike anyone not white. I would say that’s the opposite of accepting people for who they were!
A great actor in drama, comedy and action movies - In 'Destry Rides Again' was the perfect partner for Marlene Dietrich - He was the star of masterpieces like 'Vertigo' with Alfred Hitchcock - But also the man who after winning an Oscar left the Hollywood studios to join the Allies' Air Force in World War II, flew more that 20 combat missions and got plenty of honors and medals. Mr Stewart deserves entirely what the military use to say about a fallen comrade: 'Lest we forget'
Firstly, Carol is a fine singer with good pitch. Secondly, I have never seen General Yeager speak before. I do not know why Hollywood did not come begging. His looks and impish grin would have made for a fine character actor.
If that weren't Carol Burnett up there, it would have been me. Not only were you a superb thespian, but a man. A real man who lived life. Everything you touched you made great. You are most definitely one of God's Angels. Thank you for everything you have brought us.
My Salute to WWII Fighter Pilot James Stewart. "Thank you your service!" (I know you were rooting for your good friend Henry Fonda to win the 1940 Best Actor Oscar for "Grapes of Wrath!"...
How different the world is now than just a few decades ago. So glad I grew up in an era where people by and large did their best to try and be decent human beings. What happened to the world?
Think of that for a moment. After winning an Oscar he left Hollywood to join the Air Force after WWII started and a year before the US involvement. He flew 25 combat missions. Imagine George Clooney or Brad Pitt doing that today.
Stewart could not only "play" a hero, he could actually be one. Retired a Major General (2 star). Those 1/2 men you mentioned shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence
The honor, respect, and love in this video for Jimmy Stewart touch my soul. Our country sure could use a big dose of this decency today. RIP Mr. Stewart.
This is so awesome, as a veteran of the USAF , I thank you sir . Job well done
Great man, Hero...I love his movies and what he stood for!
Beautiful tribute to a Wonderful American Actor and Patriot, RIP Jimmy Stewart..
Carol had a shaking voice at the end and tears of emotion.. My, she's so great. She truly admires Jimmy Stewart
Wonderful To See One Of The Many Great Actors Of Hollywood Honored At The Kennedy Center James Stewart 1983 With Carol Burnett He Will Always Be Remembered. 😊
"As an actor, respected for what he has done,
As a man, respected for who he is!"
This was always my favorite Kennedy Center tribute...still miss him after all these years.
I maintain that James Stewart is one of the greatest actors who ever lived.
You, and about a billion other people !!
One of?
James Stewart showed us all the perfect example of what it means to be a gentle person in everything one does, be it acting, soldiering, fathering, husbandry, citizenship, and the list goes on and on. Thank you very much for this public service on behalf of all of us.
I’d have to agree 110%. As well as one of the kindest, gentlest human beings to walk the planet. I miss him.
@@Heres_Johnny. I beg to differ ..he was a blatant racist
Love Carol Burnett’s emotion, so special.
It really touch my heart when next to the ending, the good Carol breaks and have to stop singing. The best tribute to one of greater actors ever!
Agreed, her touching sincerity is as amazing today as when it first aired..
To be a gifted actor, an airforce hero, star in memorable films, immortal films-- all this and remain sincerre,, as honest as Abe. An incredible accomplishment!
Like John Wayne Jimmy is one of a kind, only once in a millennium comes along a individual like Jimmy. Thankyou for your service colonel Stewart .

Wonderful! Really touching! General Stewart.
Thank you for sharing! I was one of those cadets! It is one of my fondest musical memories. We were honored to be able to sing for one of our own, Gen Jimmy Stewart.
Pauleta Hendrickson Very cool how amazing great job!
Were you able to meet him afterwards?
That is wonderful, Pauleta...you all did a wonderful job.
Jimmy Stewart. A magnificent man. A magnificent actor.
Pauleta Hendrickson Did you feel like saluting him?
Jimmy Stewart was one of the all time greats in the entertainment industry. He was truly authentic and always seemed comfortable in his own skin. An American classic. I miss him dearly.
Carols is obviously so filled with love for this man. She’s so very genuine.
I'm only 19 but whenever someone asks who my favorite actor is the answer is always the same. James Stewart.
You have exceptionally good taste.
Love me some James Stewart Mr.Smith goes to D.C. my favorite.
Very very moving seeing this great actor crying

@ernestinetate4153 you clearly made this up. 🙄
It's not often in Hollywood where you find such true admiration and respect from one actor to another. Carol had true, deep feeling for Jimmy.
+K Kampy So True. When I see this I remember what Carol told I think to Barbara Walters once, and that was that Jimmy Stewart always reminded her of her father..(who she said. "was a drunk, but a loveable one")
Her eyes focused on him alone. Deeply, deeply in love
I've never seen Carol Burnett so vulnerable and starstruck. She's always oozed confidence. That testifies to how strong her feeling for Jimmy Stewart were.
You can hear in her voice how she was near breaking down near the end of the song.
Check out the final episode of THE CAROL BURNETT SHOW when Jimmy surprised her :)
*feelings
I don't know why she claimed not to be able to sing; I thought she did great!
@@TheOneandOnlyD-R-E she was always very self-deprecating about her voice. I always thought it was quite beautiful but I guess she isn't a classic Diva type
He's been gone over 20 years, and I still miss him.
Every day, sweetie, every day...especially as I look at what and who is out there now.
Loving Carol,loving Jimmy 💕♥️❤️💕♥️❤️🤗
Jimmy Stewart was one of my favorite actors, and to my Mom her favorite. I loved him in movies like "Harvey", "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", and "It's A Wonderful Life".
There are no other actors who even come close to his caliber! Love, love this man! I'M NOT CRYING...YOU'RE CRYING xoxoxo

He was part of the Greatest Generation that saved the world from tyranny and we need them now more than ever!!!

Rope is a magnificent performance by Mr. Stewart. He confronts evil and makes us feel that he (we) should never accept superiority over humanity.
Carol burnet knows everbody . She's been at the KcA many times. she is really loved by everyone
Wow, I couldn't stop crying. God bless Jimmy Stewart

Shed a tear .. oh well, so many tears watching this. The reasons are obvious. God bless you, JImmy!
Every now and then you go on YT & find a true gem. Thank you for uploading.
+Lynn Turman So happy you enjoyed it...James Stewart and his work meant the world to me growing up.

Such a beautiful night. Nothing like this today
Fantastic! Wonderful President Reagan & so many movie stars who are now gone. God bless Jimmy & all.
Jeez! I loved Ronald Reagan , Burt Lancaster, I loved Jimmy Stewart, I loved Gregory Peck, I loved Cary Grant and Henry Fonda and all you great Americans of that time who were my role models growing up and for me are a reason that America is eternally great!
Truly the finest generation this country has ever produced
This is the sort of stuff that makes us proud to be Americans!
It is a Wonderful Life, General Stewart
He was an American treasure.

I remember all these guys when they were young-noone compares to any of them. They are missed.
My hero Jimmy Stewart no actor or actress or sports player or politician who is living today could ever come close.
If Carol Burnett is not a singer maybe I don't qualify to be a human being...
That's a Cole Porter beautiful tune, and she carries it 1-derfully !!!
Another great American actor with scottish heritage...... just like robert Retford clint Eastwood john wayne.. Steve mcqueen charlton Heston
Well...can’t watch this without crying! BEAUTIFUL!!! ♥️♥️♥️
Bravo Mr. James Stewart. A great man from the greatest generation.
As an actor he is respected for what he has done.
As a person he is respected for who HE IS.
His feelings about people who weren’t white turns my stomach and shows, clearly that he’s not that “nice,great person” everyone would like to think that he is.
Thank you for posting this...brought a wee tear to my eye...he was/is ine of my favorites...
Sherri Burton And mine - he is the epitome of a gentleman and a hero
Jimmy Stewart - what a delightful, entertaining man....no man can take his place......
Love this man.. His work transcends race and gender. One of the best actors of all times.
As long as there are feelings of appreciation for the goodness of the human heart and of truth and decency as portrayed by James Stewart I will not loose hope that this hard days will pass and people will once again be decent once again.
Nothing can stop the US Air Force! Loved that chorale from the Air Force Academy.
a very beloved gentleman....God, BLESS Jimmy Stewart...
I m sure He has. Great American, great actor.

James Stewart is the gold standard of actors.
Weird and sad seeing these early Kennedy Center Honor clips where most of the stars are no longer with us.
but isn't it nice they lived long enough to be honored--that's a treat.
Mia7189 Amen.
Excellent. Thanks so much! 🇺🇸
True hero and one of greatest ever.
Very special. Hard to take in a lifetime of gifts to all of us. His life was a wonderful life. We are blessed.

One of our greatest Americans, Jimmy Stewart.
How is it that when we watch all these clips from shows of our youth that the heart is so touched and we get pulled in and get affected the way we do?

Love these
Wonderful~
How different the world is now than just a few decades ago. So glad I grew up in an era where people by and large did their best to try and be decent human beings. What happened to the world?
What an honor/ For one of the best We ever had. R.I.P. James.
had no idea Carol could sing this well
This is
so.much more wholesome than marilyn monroe singing happy birthday Mr president to pres kennedy
Love this awesome gentle man 😊
He is such a humble man, love him.
Think of that for a moment. After winning an Oscar he left Hollywood to join the Air Force after WWII started and a year before the US involvement. He flew 25 combat missions. Imagine George Clooney or Brad Pitt doing that today.
Stewart could not only "play" a hero, he could actually be one. Retired a Major General (2 star). Those 1/2 men you mentioned shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence
Brigadier General.
I also don’t blame any actors for not risking their health or lives just to make money for the military industry.
Incredible American hero
Highest ranking actor of all time
Burt Lancaster 🌟 one of the greatest ever
Carol is a great singer.
