Indiana native and Hollywood legend Jimmy Stewart was honored yesterday as part of the second class of the Pittsburgh Walk Of Fame.
A star bearing his name now sits at the Terminal Building in Pittsburgh’s Strip District. He was named to the walk of fame for his enduring career in the entertainment industry and for his military career as he served in World War Il in the Army Air Corps, rising to the rank of Brigadier General in the US Air Force reserve.
Kelly Stewart-Harcourt, Jimmy’s daughter, spoke at the ceremony, and said that it feels like he’s finally coming home.
Other inductees in this year’s class include actress Shirley Jones, football hall of famer Franco Harris, hockey legend Mario Lemieux, composer Henry Mancini, industrialist and inventor George Westinghouse, entrepreneur H.J. Heinz, Steelers broadcaster Myron Cope, choreographer Martha Graham, and photographer Charles “Teenie” Harris.
