There is nothing wanting to say Stewart was an exceptional actor, but at the same time he was a man who was consumed with skin color prejudice, and today's whites must face up to it and how they, will face up to it in their own lives.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-47909557740969774052015-06-29T11:16:26.705-07:002015-06-29T11:16:26.705-07:00I too found the term, "coloureds" to be ...I too found the term, "coloureds" to be offensive.

Stewart was not a racist, but he was without doubt an uber conservative, and Fonda was as liberal as they come. And yet the two were lifelong friends! And just for the record, if I could do the time travel thing, I would totally date either one of them during their ladies man phase!

For me it done what I wanted and presented Stewart in his true light.<br /> The Hitch slip was annoying as Stewart and he were true friends, and yet Munn fails to acknowledge this. I'm not worried about his personal opinion as I consider him wrong as Hitch I don't think can ever be regarded as over rated. He was far too influential for that. But that aside it is a fine, very readable biography of a genuinely nice human being. I'm sure you'll like it!<br /> My absolutely favorite actor, and in my opinion the best ever!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7361829068869115622.post-56722213943611806822011-08-02T09:13:08.356-07:002011-08-02T09:13:08.356-07:00I'm going to have to write this one down.
