We were leaving the Oscars one night and our limo almost ran over Jimmie Stewart crossing the street. He was like a life-sized stick figure.

At the time, I already had a Rear Window insert...and went up to Hollywood and bought a You Can't Take It With You lobby card for the occasion, hoping to have both Stewart and Capra sign it. Unfortunately, Mr. Capra's wife was sick and he couldn't be there...so I ended up having Jimmy Stewart sign both pieces (I still have the Rear Window insert). What I remember most about Jimmy Stewart was how incredibly tall (and old) he seemed. I was quite nervous, fumbling around with the special pen I'd brought with me, dropping it a couple of times. He merely signed his name in the poster's background. Hey, I really don't care if his autograph affects to value of the insert one way or the other. The fact is...I actually met Jimmy Stewart and talked with him for a minute or two. I suppose his autograph is proof of what happened on that Fourth of July, but the thrill of meeting him means more to me than whatever value the poster might have. It's the only poster I've ever had autographed. But this was Jimmy Stewart! Truly a memorable moment....didn't cost me anything except a bad case of nerves...
