Happy Birthday Jimmy!
↳ (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997)“Jimmy Stewart, in one of his first film roles, played the deranged culprit, and darn well, too. He was very excited and enthusiastic about it all, rushing around with his camera taking pictures of everybody on the set, declaring ‘I’m going to marry Myrna Loy!’”

Only one is a wanderer; two together are always going somewhere.
[for Next Time, We Love] They were both particularly fond of the scene in which Jimmy [Stewart] had to go away on some assignment, leaving his young wife and baby behind. Jimmy felt that the situation called for a tear or two on his part, and had no difficulty filling his eyes for the first take, but the baby threw something at him and they had to cut. The second take was likewise ruined by the baby and the third and fourth. By the fifth take, Jimmy was unable to summon up any more tears. He didn’t know about glycerin, which is often used in movies to stimulate tears, and, in any case, would probably have been too embarrassed to ask for it, so he went behind the scenery, lit a cigarette, and held it to his eyes in the hope that the smoke would make the tear up. This experiment transformed his eyes into two raw blobs, and he almost threatened to shoot the child. [Margaret Sullavan] was delighted, particularly by the cigarette.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JIMMY STEWART!
"As an atheist, I see nothing “wrong” in believing in a God. I don’t think there is a God, but belief in him does no harm. If it helps you in any way, then that’s fine with me. It’s when belief starts infringing on other people’s rights when it worries me. I would never deny your right to believe in a God. I would just rather you didn’t kill people who believe in a different God, say. Or stone someone to death because your rulebook says their sexuality is immoral. It’s strange that anyone who believes that an all-powerful all-knowing, omniscient power responsible for everything that happens, would also want to judge and punish people for what they are."

All I know about getting something that you want is that there are three essential things: wanting, trying and getting the opportunity, the breaks. None works alone without the others. Wanting is basic. Trying is up to you. And the breaks - I do know this, they always happen. ~ Greer Garson

Tenho certeza de que seus pais já leram essa coleção. Acabei de começar. É super legal. Vocês deveriam experimentar também ( se seus professores ainda não pediram na escola, quase certeza de que vão pedir).
