Jimmy
Stewart and the Yeti
Actor Jimmy Stewart,
who starred in such
classic films as "You Can't Take It With You," "Mr. Smith Goes To
Washington" and "It's A Wonderful Life," died on July 2, 1997. He
was 89.
Little known to the
general public, Jimmy
Stewart was a major player in past cryptozoological projects. Being
a hunting buddy and friend of F. Kirk Johnson, Stewart was a hidden
partner behind the 1950s' Slick-Johnson expeditions in search of
abominable snowmen.
Over the years, Stewart became a friend of Peter Bryne and got
interested in Bigfoot pursuits. Stewart and Bryne were involved in
the important Pangboche yeti hand incident of 1959. "Unsolved
Mysteries" did a 1991 show on the Pangboche specimen's journey to
Osman-Hill in London for analysis. Peter Byrne was a focus, but the
program refused to credit Jimmy Stewart's signficant role in placing
the yeti hand evidence in his luggage and flying it to London. I was
a consultant to that segment and fought for Stewart's inclusion, to
no avail. Stewart was too famous to be tied, in the public's mind,
to yetis. Too bad.
Jimmy Stewart, a mosly secret supporter of cryptozoology, will be
missed.
