Does anyone know the names of the male and female protagonists in Hitchcock’s Vertigo and what other movies they have acted in?

James Stewart

James Stewart was born on May 20, 1908, in Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA. After graduating in 1932, James Stewart joined the University Theater Company in Falmouth, Massachusetts as a professional performer. There, he met two crucial figures in his life: Henry Fonda, his artistic partner and best friend, and Margery Suliwen, his happy enemy who was always entangled with him. A year later, James Stewart began to seek development on Broadway in New York, and soon became famous. In 1935, he came to Hollywood again.

In 1939, James Stewart became famous for starring in "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington" (Mr. Smith Goes To Washington), and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for the first time. The following year, he co-starred with popular actress Katharine Hepburn in "The Philadelphia Story" (The Philadelphia Story), an adaptation of the famous Broadway play, which finally won him an Oscar. Due to the outbreak of World War II, James Stewart volunteered to join the U.S. Air Force and became a combat hero. He was eventually promoted to Air Force Reserve Brigadier General and was the highest-ranking star in Hollywood history.

James Stewart, who returned with great success after the war, once couldn't find his acting direction. At this time, he collaborated with Hitchcock in "Rope" (1948), "Rear Window" "(1954)," "The Murderer" (1956), and "Vertigo" (1958). In cooperating with this film master, James Stewart has reached a new height in terms of film concepts and acting skills. Moreover, Hitchcock's strong film appeal also played an important role in the formation and perfection of James Stewart's personal style.

If the early James Stewart attracted many movie fans with his handsome and charming appearance, Hitchcock used him for the first time to play a wise middle-aged philosophy professor in "Rope" It must be said that it is a bold attempt. Since "Rope of Souls" was shot with only one shot from beginning to end, the actors' performances must be done in one go without any mistakes. James Stewart's performance always maintains a coherent emotion and is full of tension, which is not unrelated to his years of theatrical stage performance skills. At the climax of the film, he handled the professor's pride and grief when he exposed the student's murder conspiracy, as well as the complex emotions of heartbreak and regret when he discovered the negative consequences of the "Superman" theory he instilled in his students. This also established the direction of his future performance style as a middle-aged man struggling with contradictions.

James Stewart brought his acting skills to the extreme in "Rear Window," his second film with Hitchcock. He plays a photojournalist who is recuperating at home with his leg wrapped in a plaster. Since his body cannot move, all his performances can only be completed by relying on facial expressions and upper body. Faced with such a difficult challenge, he gave the most perfect interpretation in the limited performance space. Under Hitchcock's unique lens perspective, James Stewart's performance is free and relaxed, with delicate and rich facial expressions, and no part of his eyebrows, eyes, or facial features is out of place.

Twenty-two years later, Hitchcock remade his 1934 early masterpiece "To Kill a Murderer" again, which was controversial among film critics and received mixed praise. But it is unanimously recognized that the role of the father played by James Stewart in the film is obviously better than that of his predecessor, and the character appears more fleshed-out and flesh-and-blood. Like another film "Vertigo", this is not only Hitchcock's classic work, but also allows all movie fans to remember this great actor forever.

In the 1970s, James Stewart, who was in his sixties, gradually faded out of the film industry. He officially starred in the TV movie "Right Of Way" (1983) with veteran actress Bette Davis. Silence.

In 1984, the American Film Research Institute specially awarded James Stewart the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. A year later, President Ronald Reagan awarded him the Medal of Freedom. In 1990, he again received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Film Society of Lincoln Center. James Stewart passed away on July 2, 1997.
