* ThoseTwoActors: As was the case with directors, he frequently re-teamed with actresses - he was in four films with Margaret Sullavan (''Next Time We Love'', ''The Shopworn Angel'', ''Film/TheMortalStorm'', and ''Film/TheShopAroundTheCorner''), three with June Allyson (''The Stratton Story'', ''The Glenn Miller Story'', and ''Film/StrategicAirCommand''), two with Creator/JeanArthur (''Theatre/YouCantTakeItWithYou'' and ''Film/MrSmithGoesToWashington''), two with Creator/MarleneDietrich (''Destry Rides Again'' and ''No Highway in the Sky''), and two with Creator/KimNovak (''Film/{{Vertigo}}'' and ''Film/BellBookAndCandle''). Oddly, he only appeared opposite his most iconic leading lady, Donna Reed, in one film (''[[Film/ItsAWonderfulLife It's A Wonderful Life]]'', obviously).
** Perhaps Stewart's most iconic co-star other than Reed was Creator/JohnWayne - they starred in three movies together, toward the end of both men's careers.

Stewart is also notable for making multiple collaborations with several famous directors from the era, such as Creator/FrankCapra, Creator/AlfredHitchcock, Creator/JohnFord, and Creator/AnthonyMann. A mark of his image as an everyman was his constantly being referred to by the public (and this entry) as "Jimmy Stewart", despite the fact that he was never credited as such in any of his famous film roles, always going by "James" (He, in fact, hated being referred to by the nickname).
