This Listing is for ONE NEW Sheet of 20 James Stewart 41¢ Stamps from 2007.

Mint. MNH. No flaws. From a Smoke-free and Pet-free Environment.

The U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of James Stewart self-adhesive 41¢ stamps - the 13th issuance in the Legends of Hollywood series - in Universal City, CA on August 17, 2007. The stamp features a portrait of Stewart by Drew Struzan of Pasadena, CA, who based his work on a publicity still for The Stratton Story. The painting on the selvage, also by Struzan, shows Stewart in Mr. Smith Goes To Washington, the 1939 film for which he received his first Academy Award nomination for best actor.

Also included on the stamp sheet is the following short biography: "Actor James Stewart (1908-1997) is remembered as the hero in classic American movies such as Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), The Philadelphia Story (1940), and Rear Window (1954). His naturalistic acting style, lanky physique, and slow, drawling speech made him seem more "real" than other movie stars, though his performances were in fact carefully planned. His numerous films include Destry Rides Again (1939), Harvey (1950), The Glenn Miller Story (1954), and a sentimental holiday favorite, It's a Wonderful Life (1946)."
