                                       actor and military officer. Stewart had a film career that spanned over 55
                                       years and 80 films. With the strong morality he portrayed both on and off
                                       the screen, Stewart epitomized the "American ideal" in twentieth-century
                                       United States. In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked him third
