Born and raised in Indiana, Pennsylvania, Stewart started acting while at Princeton University. After graduating, he began a career as a stage actor making his Broadway debut in the play ''Carry Nation'' (1932). He landed his first supporting role in ''The Murder Man'' (1935) and had his breakthrough in Frank Capra's ensemble comedy ''You Can't Take It with You'' (1938). Stewart went on to receive the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in the George Cukor romantic comedy ''The Philadelphia Story'' (1940). His other Oscar-nominated roles were in ''Mr. Smith Goes to Washington'' (1939), ''It's a Wonderful Life'' (1946), ''Harvey'' (1950) and ''Anatomy of a Murder'' (1959).
Stewart played darker, more morally ambiguous characters in movies directed by Anthony Mann, including ''Winchester '73'' (1950), ''The Glenn Miller Story'' (1954), and ''The Naked Spur'' (1953), and by Alfred Hitchcock in ''Rope'' (1948), ''Rear Window'' (1954), ''The Man Who Knew Too Much'' (1956), and ''Vertigo'' (1958). Stewart also starred in ''The Greatest Show on Earth'' (1952), ''The Spirit of St. Louis'' (1957), ''The Flight of the Phoenix'' (1965) as well as the Western films ''How the West Was Won'' (1962), ''The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance'' (1962), and ''Cheyenne Autumn'' (1964).
He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II, deputy commanding the 2nd Bombardment Wing and commanding the 703d Bombardment Squadron from 1941 to 1947. He later transferred to the Air Force Reserve, and held various command positions until his retirement in 1968 as a brigadier general. Stewart remained unmarried until his 40s and was dubbed "The Great American Bachelor" by the press. In 1949, he married former model Gloria Hatrick McLean. They had twin daughters, and he adopted her two sons from her previous marriage. The marriage lasted until Gloria's death in 1994, and Stewart died of a pulmonary embolism three years later.
