Orson Welle's Tribute to Jimmy Stewart

Jimmy Stewart is my favorite actor. He was known primarily for two things. The first was his distinctive voice, which is widely considered one of the most difficult voices to impersonate well. The second was the fact that he was a stand-up individual both in his films and in real life. I just recently found a video from 1978 in which Orson Welles pays tribute to Stewart. If you ever watched reruns of these celebrity roasts, you will know that Welles had an absolutely brilliant grasp of comedy and used it to great effect in roasting his peers. But here he delivers an excellent tribute to a friend and an excellent actor. It may seem dated, particularly since all of the 'new' actors Welles references are themselves quite old by now; Yet ultimately it still stands as a great testament to Jimmy Stewarts career.
