James Stewart (1908 - 1907)
Here's a wonderful addition to your Hollywood collection. An authentic cheque signed in 1978 by the Academy Award winning deceased legendary actor, James Stewart. Check is approx. 3 1/2" x 8 1/2". Faint bank stamp appearing through from the reverse but doesnt detract.
Ranked #10 in Empire (UK) magazine's "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list. [October 1997]
He was voted the 9th Greatest Movie Star of all time by Premiere Magazine.
Was named #3 on The 50 Greatest Screen Legends Actor list by the American Film Institute.
His "aw shucks" demeanor has served him well as the good guy, the shy guy or the nice guy in films like Harvey (1950) and You Can't Take It with You (1938). Alfred Hitchcock turned him into a dramatic leading man in films like Rear Window (1954) and Vertigo (1958). Stewart also starred in his share of westerns, including The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962), The Naked Spur (1953) and The Man from Laramie (1955).
Was very good friends with Ronald Reagan, Henry Fonda, John Wayne and Gary Cooper.
