Jimmy Stewart, Commie Hunter
Oh Mary, Mary! I wish I could lasso the moon and pull it down to you... and by the way, I've been informing on you to the feds, you dirty subversive honey-pot whore.
Screen legend JAMES STEWART worked as a secret agent for notorious FBI leader J EDGAR HOOVER, rooting out suspected communists from Hollywood, according to a damning new biography.
Hoover knew the VERTIGO actor was a Right-wing Republican and asked him to work undercover for the FBI in 1947, because Stewart's status as a famous, decorated war hero and officer in the American Army Air Force Reserve Corps made him the perfect choice to help flush out subversives in LA, Stewart's late wife GLORIA HATRICK McLEAN recalled.
And author MICHAEL MUNN's sensational expose, JIMMY STEWART: THE TRUTH BEHIND THE LEGEND claims the star was so keen to assist Hoover, he spied on his closest friends, including CARY GRANT and director FRANK CAPRA, who directed his hit movie IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE.
Eh. Makes me dig him even more.
Thanks to NickS.
It's A Wonderful Reference-Riff Update: Monty adds--
Every time a bell rings, some dirty Commie bastard is getting his kidneys worked over with a telephone book by some thickset FBI guy.
*Sniff*. Brings a tear to the eye, it does.
Stewart Recommendations: Anatomy of a Murder kicks ass.
