'''Henry Jaynes Fonda''' ([[May 16]], [[1905]] &ndash; [[August 12]], [[1982]]) was a highly acclaimed [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-winning [[United States|American]] [[film]] and [[stage]]  [[actor]], best known for his roles as plain-speaking idealists. Fonda's subtle, [[Naturalism (literature)|naturalistic]] acting style preceded by many years the popularization of [[method acting]].

Fonda made his mark early as a [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] actor, and made his [[Hollywood]] debut in 1935. Fonda's career gained momentum after his [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]]-nominated performance in 1940's ''[[The Grapes of Wrath (film)|The Grapes of Wrath]]'', an [[Film adaptation|adaptation]] of [[John Steinbeck]]'s novel about an [[Oklahoma]] family who moved west during the [[Dust Bowl]]. Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image in such classics as ''[[The Ox-Bow Incident]]'', ''[[Mister Roberts]]'', and ''[[12 Angry Men]]''. Later, Fonda moved toward both more challenging, darker epics as [[Sergio Leone]]'s ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]'' (as a villain who kills, among others, a child and a cripple) and lighter roles in family comedies like ''[[Yours, Mine and Ours (1968 film)|Yours, Mine and Ours]]'' (with [[Lucille Ball]]). 

He was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter [[Jane Fonda]], son [[Peter Fonda]], granddaughter [[Bridget Fonda]], and grandson [[Troy Garity]].

In 1999, he was named the sixth [[AFI's 100 Years... 100 Stars|Greatest Male Star of All Time]] by the [[American Film Institute]].

He was usually called "Hank" by family and close friends.

==Life and career==
===Family history and early life===
Fonda was born in [[Grand Island, Nebraska]]<ref name=iron>{{cite book  | last =Bain  | first =David Haward  | title =The Old Iron Road: An Epic of Rails, Roads, and the Urge to Go West  | publisher =Penguin Books  | date =2004  | location =New York City, New York  | pages =65-6  | id ={{ISBN|0143035266}}}}</ref> to advertising-printing jobber William Brace Fonda and Herberta Krueger Jaynes, in the second year of their marriage.   

The Fonda family had emigrated westward from [[New York]] in the 1800s, and traces its ancestry from [[Genoa, Italy]] to [[The Netherlands]] in the 1500s, and then to the [[United States of America]] in the 1600s, settling in the town now called [[Fonda, New York]].<ref>Fonda, Henry & Howard Teichmann, ''Fonda:  My Life'', New York, New American Library, 1981, pp. 20–21</ref>  

As a youth in Nebraska, Fonda was active in the [[Boy Scouts of America]] and was a Scoutmaster, but was ''not'' an [[Eagle Scout (Boy Scouts of America)|Eagle Scout]] as some report.<ref name="lawson">{{cite web | last = Terry C. | first = Lawson | authorlink = | coauthors = | year =2005 | url = http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Erroneous_Eagle_Scouts | title = Erroneous Eagle Scouts Letter| format = | work = Eagle Scout Service, National Eagle Scout Association | publisher =Boy Scouts of America | accessdate = 2006-06-09}}</ref> Fonda related the story in his autobiography that his father had taken him to see the aftermath of a lynching.  This so enraged the young Fonda that a keen social awareness of prejudice was present within him for his entire adult life.<ref>[http://www.nebraskastudies.org/0700/stories/0701_0134.html Race Riots of 1919].

Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref> although he did not graduate. 

At age twenty, he started his acting career at the [[Omaha Community Playhouse]] when his mother's friend [[Dodie Brando]] (mother of [[Marlon Brando]]) needed a young man to play the lead in ''You and I''.<ref name=iron/> He went east to perform with the [[Provincetown Players]] and [[Joshua Logan]]'s [[University Players]], an intercollegiate [[summer stock]] company, where he worked with [[Margaret Sullavan]], his future wife, and began a lifelong friendship with [[James Stewart (actor)|James Stewart]].

===Early career===
<!--  Commented out because image was deleted: [[Image:Fonda.TomJoad.jpg|thumb|left|150px|''[[The Grapes of Wrath (film)|The Grapes of Wrath]]'']] -->
Fonda and Stewart headed for [[New York City]], where the two were roommates and honed their skills on [[Broadway theater|Broadway]]. Fonda appeared in theatrical productions from 1926 to 1934, and made his first film appearance (1935) as the leading man in [[20th Century Fox]]'s screen adaptation of ''[[The Farmer Takes a Wife]]'', reprising his role from the Broadway production of the same name. In 1935 Fonda starred in the RKO film ''I Dream Too Much'' with the famous opera star [[Lily Pons]]. 

Fonda's film career blossomed as he costarred with [[Sylvia Sidney]] and [[Fred MacMurray]] in ''[[The Trail of the Lonesome Pine]]'' (1936), the first [[Technicolor]] movie filmed outdoors. Fonda also got the nod for the lead role in ''[[You Only Live Once]]'' (1937), also costarring Sidney, and directed by [[Fritz Lang]]. A critical success opposite [[Bette Davis]] in the film ''[[Jezebel (film)|Jezebel]]'' (1938) was followed by the title role in ''[[Young Mr. Lincoln]]'' and his first collaboration with director [[John Ford]].

Fonda's successes led Ford to recruit him to play "Tom Joad" in the film version of [[John Steinbeck]]'s novel ''[[The Grapes of Wrath (film)|The Grapes of Wrath]]'' (1940), but a reluctant [[Darryl Zanuck]], who preferred [[Tyrone Power]], insisted on Fonda's signing a seven-year contract with the studio, [[Twentieth Century-Fox]].<ref>Rabin, Kenn.  [http://www.filmnight.org/grapes.htm The Grapes of Wrath.]  FilmNight.org.  Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref> Fonda agreed, and was ultimately nominated for an Academy Award for his work in the 1940 film, which many consider to be his finest role, but he was edged out by Stewart, who won the award for his role in ''[[The Philadelphia Story]]''.

====World War II service====
Fonda played opposite [[Barbara Stanwyck]] in ''[[The Lady Eve]]'' (1941), and was acclaimed for his role in ''[[The Ox-Bow Incident]]''.  The following year he played opposite [[Gene Tierney]] in the [[screwball comedy]] ''[[Rings on Her Fingers]]'' (1942), but he then enlisted in the [[United States Navy|Navy]] to fight in [[World War II]], saying, "I don't want to be in a fake war in a studio."<ref name="usps">United States Postal Service.

Previously, he and Stewart had helped raise funds for the defense of [[United Kingdom|Britain]] from the [[Nazism|Nazis]].<ref>[http://www.tyrone-power.com/article_lifegoestoapary.html Life Goes to a Party.] From ''Life'', [[August 5]], [[1940]], at Tyrone-Power.com.

He was later commissioned as a [[Lieutenant Junior Grade]] in Air Combat Intelligence in the Central Pacific and won a Presidential Citation and the [[Bronze Star Medal|Bronze Star]].<ref>Fonda, A.

Retrieved [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref>

====Post-war career====
After the war, Fonda appeared in the film ''[[Fort Apache (film)|Fort Apache]]'' (1948), and his contract with Fox expired. Refusing another long-term studio contract, Fonda returned to Broadway, wearing his own officer's cap to originate the title role in ''[[Mister Roberts]]'', a comedy about the Navy. He won a 1948 [[Tony Award]] for the part, and later reprised his performance in the national tour and the 1955 film version opposite [[James Cagney]], [[William Powell]] and [[Jack Lemmon]], continuing a pattern of bringing his acclaimed stage roles to life on the big screen.  
On the set of ''Mister Roberts'', Fonda came to blows with [[John Ford]] and vowed never to work for him again. He never did (though he appeared in [[Peter Bogdanovich]]'s acclaimed documentary ''[[Directed by John Ford]]'' and spoke glowingly of Ford therein).

===Career in the 1950s and 1960s===
Fonda followed [[Mr. Roberts]] with  [[Paramount Pictures]]'s production of the [[Leo Tolstoy]] epic ''[[War and Peace (1956 film)|War and Peace]]'', in which Fonda played Pierre Bezukhov opposite [[Audrey Hepburn]]. Fonda worked with [[Alfred Hitchcock]] in 1956, playing a man falsely accused of murder in ''[[The Wrong Man]]''.

In 1957, Fonda made his first foray into production with ''[[12 Angry Men]]'', based on a script by [[Reginald Rose]] and directed by [[Sidney Lumet]]. The intense film about twelve jurors deciding the fate of a young man accused of murder was well-received by critics worldwide. Fonda shared the [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] and [[Golden Globe]] nominations with co-producer Reginald Rose and won the 1958 [[BAFTA Award for Best Actor]] for his performance as the logical "Juror #8." However, Fonda vowed that he would never ever produce a movie again. After [[western movies]] ''[[The Tin Star]]'' (1957) and ''[[Warlock (1959 film)|Warlock]]'' (1959), Fonda returned to the production seat for the [[NBC]] western television series ''[[The Deputy (TV series)|The Deputy]]'' (1959–1961), in which he also starred.

The 1960s saw Fonda perform in a number of war and western epics, including 1962's ''[[The Longest Day (film)|The Longest Day]]'' and ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]'', 1965's ''[[In Harm's Way]]'' and ''[[Battle of the Bulge (film)|Battle of the Bulge]]'', and the [[Cold War]] suspense film ''[[Fail-Safe (1964 film)|Fail-Safe]]'' (1964), about a possible nuclear holocaust. He also returned to more light-hearted cinema in ''[[Spencer's Mountain]]'' (1963), which was the inspiration for the TV series, ''[[The Waltons]]''. 

He appeared against type as the villain "Frank" in 1968's ''[[Once Upon a Time in the West]]''. After initially turning down the role, he was convinced to accept it by actor [[Eli Wallach]] and director [[Sergio Leone]], who flew from Italy to the United States to persuade him to take the part. Fonda had planned on wearing a pair of brown-colored [[contact lenses]], but Leone preferred the paradox of contrasting close-up shots of Fonda's innocent-looking blue eyes with the vicious personality of the character Fonda played.

Fonda's relationship with Jimmy Stewart survived their disagreements over politics &mdash; Fonda was a [[liberal]] [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democrat]], and Stewart a [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]]. After a heated argument, they avoided talking politics with each other. In 1970, Fonda and Stewart costarred in the [[Western film|western]] ''[[The Cheyenne Social Club]]'', a minor film in which the two humorously argued politics. They had first appeared together on film in  ''[[On Our Merry Way]]'' (1948), a comedy which also starred [[William Demarest]] and [[Fred MacMurray]] and featured a grown-up [[Carl Switzer|Carl "Alfalfa" Switzer]].<ref>[http://www.4alfalfa.com/Alfalfaddendum/merry.html On Our Merry Way.]  4alfalfa.com.  Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref>

===Late career===
Despite approaching his seventies, Henry Fonda continued to work in both television and film through the 1970s. In 1970, Fonda appeared in three films, the most successful of these ventures being ''[[The Cheyenne Social Club]]''. The other two films were ''[[Too Late the Hero]]'', in which Fonda played a secondary role, and ''[[There Was a Crooked Man...|There Was a Crooked Man]]'', about Paris Pitman Jr. (played by [[Kirk Douglas]]) trying to escape from an Arizona prison.

Fonda made a return to both foreign and television productions, which provided career sustenance through a decade in which many aging screen actors suffered waning careers. He starred in the [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] television series ''The Smith Family'' between 1971 and 1972. 1973's [[TV-movie]] ''The Red Pony'', an adaptation of [[John Steinbeck]]'s novel, earned Fonda an [[Emmy Awards|Emmy]] nomination. After the unsuccessful [[Hollywood]] melodrama, ''Ash Wednesday'', he filmed three [[Italy|Italian]] productions released in 1973 and 1974. The most successful of these, ''[[My Name Is Nobody]]'', presented Fonda in a rare comedic performance as an old gunslinger whose plans to retire are dampened by a "fan" of sorts.

Henry Fonda continued stage acting throughout his last years, including several demanding roles in [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] plays. He returned to Broadway in 1974 for the biographical drama, ''[[Clarence Darrow]]'', for which he was nominated for a Tony Award. Fonda's health had been deteriorating for years, but his first outward symptoms occurred after a performance of the play in April 1974, when he collapsed from exhaustion. After the appearance of a [[Cardiac arrhythmia|heart arrhythmia]] brought on by [[prostate cancer]], a pacemaker was installed following surgery and Fonda returned to the play in 1975. After the run of a 1978 play, ''First Monday of October'', he took the advice of his doctors and quit plays, though he continued to star in films and television.

In 1976, Fonda appeared in several notable television productions, the first being ''Collision Course'', the story of the volatile relationship between President Harry Truman ([[E.G. Marshall]]) and General MacArthur (Fonda), produced by ABC. After an appearance in the acclaimed [[Showtime]] broadcast of ''Almos' a Man'', based on a story by [[Richard Wright (author)|Richard Wright]], he starred in the epic [[NBC]] miniseries ''Captains and Kings'', based on [[Taylor Caldwell]]'s novel. Three years later, he appeared in ABC's ''[[Roots: The Next Generations]]'', but the miniseries was overshadowed by its predecessor, ''[[Roots (TV miniseries)|Roots]]''. Also in 1976, Fonda starred in the [[World War II]] blockbuster ''[[Midway (film)|Midway]]''.

Fonda finished the 1970s in a number of [[disaster film]]s. The first of these was the 1977 Italian killer [[octopus]] thriller ''Tentacoli'' (''Tentacles'') and the mediocre
''[[Rollercoaster (film)|Rollercoaster]]'', in which Fonda appeared with [[Richard Widmark]] and a young [[Helen Hunt]]. He performed once again with Widmark, [[Olivia de Havilland]], [[Fred MacMurray]], and [[José Ferrer]] in the [[Africanized bee|killer bee]] action film ''The Swarm''. He also acted in the global disaster film ''[[Meteor (film)|Meteor]]'', with [[Sean Connery]], [[Natalie Wood]] and [[Karl Malden]], and then the [[Canada|Canadian]] production ''[[City on Fire (1979 film)|City on Fire]]'', which also featured [[Shelley Winters]] and [[Ava Gardner]].

As Fonda's health continued to suffer and he took longer breaks between filming, critics began to take notice of his extensive body of work. In 1979, the [[Tony Awards]] committee gave Fonda a special award for his achievements on Broadway. Lifetime Achievement awards from the [[Golden Globes]] and [[Academy Awards]] followed in 1980 and 1981, respectively.

Fonda continued to act into the early 1980s, though all but one of the productions he was featured in before his death were for television. These television works included the critically acclaimed live performance of [[Preston Jones]]' ''The Oldest Living Graduate'', the [[Emmy Awards|Emmy]] nominated ''[[Gideon's Trumpet]]'' (co-starring [[Fay Wray]] in her last performance), and 1981's ''Summer Solstice'', which teamed Fonda with the legendary [[Myrna Loy]] for the first time. This was the last film on which  Henry Fonda worked, and work began on it following the release of the movie adaptation of [[Ernest Thompson]]'s play ''[[On Golden Pond]]''. 

This film, directed by [[Mark Rydell]], provided unprecedented collaborations between Fonda, [[Katharine Hepburn]], and Fonda's daughter, [[Jane Fonda|Jane]]. When premiered in December 1981, the film was well received by critics, and after a [[Roadshow theatrical release|limited release]] on [[December 4]] ''On Golden Pond'' developed enough of an audience to be widely released on [[January 22]]. With eleven [[Academy Awards|Academy Award]] nominations, the film earned nearly $120 million at the box office, becoming an unexpected blockbuster. In addition to wins for Hepburn (Best Actress), and Thompson (Screenplay), ''On Golden Pond'' brought Fonda his only Oscar for Best Actor (it also earned him a [[Golden Globe Awards|Golden Globe]] Best Actor award). After Fonda's death, some film critics called this performance "his last and greatest role".

===Marriages and children===
Henry Fonda was married five times. His marriage to [[Margaret Sullavan]] in 1931 soon ended in separation, which was finalized in a 1933 divorce. In 1936, he married [[Frances Ford Seymour]]. They had two children, [[Peter Fonda|Peter]] and [[Jane Fonda|Jane]]. In 1950, Seymour committed [[suicide]]. Fonda married [[Susan Blanchard (socialite)|Susan Blanchard]], the stepdaughter of [[Oscar Hammerstein II]], in 1950. Together, they adopted a daughter, Amy (born 1953),<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20051124051938/http://fonda.org/gedtree/1028.html Amy Fonda 1953 -]  fonda.org, [[January 16]], [[2005]].  Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref> but divorced three years later. In 1957 Fonda married Italian [[Countess]] [[Afdera Franchetti]].<ref>[http://www.grazianoarici.it/oldies/pages/GA016526.htm Graziano Arici Archives / GA016526: Celebrities from '40's to '70's.]  Graziano Arici Photographer. Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref> They remained married until 1961. Soon after Fonda married [[Shirlee Mae Adams]], and remained with her until his death in 1982.

His relationship with his children has been described as 
"emotionally distant". In Peter Fonda's 1998 autobiography ''Don't Tell Dad'', he described how he was never sure how his father felt about him, and that he did not tell his father he loved him until his father was elderly and he finally heard the words, "I love you, son".<ref>Araujo, Djalma. [http://www.fumcsd.org/sermons/sr092798.html Sermon of September 27, 1998.] First United Methodist Church of San Diego.  Retrieved on [[January 11]], [[2007]].</ref> His daughter Jane rejected her father's friendships with [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] actors such as [[John Wayne]] and [[Jimmy Stewart]], and as a result, their relationship was extremely strained.

Jane Fonda also reported feeling detached from her father, especially during her early acting career. Henry Fonda introduced her to [[Lee Strasberg]], who became her acting teacher, and as she developed as an actress using the techniques of "[[method acting|The Method]]," she found herself frustrated and unable to understand her father's effortless acting style. In the late 1950s, when she asked him how he prepared before going on stage, he baffled her by answering, "I don’t know, I stand there, I think about my wife, Afdera, I don't know." 

Writer Al Aronowitz, while working on a profile of Jane Fonda for ''[[The Saturday Evening Post]]'' in the 1960s, asked Henry Fonda about Method acting: "I can't articulate about the Method," he told me, "because I never studied it. I don't mean to suggest that I have any feelings one way or the other about it...I don't know what the Method is and I don’t care what the Method is. Everybody's got a method. Everybody can’t articulate about their method, and I can't, if I have a method&mdash;and Jane sometimes says that I use the Method, that is, the capital letter Method, without being aware of it. Maybe I do; it doesn’t matter."

Fonda's daughter shared this view: "My father can't articulate the way he works." Jane said. "He just can't do it. He's not even conscious of what he does, and it made him nervous for me to try to articulate what I was trying to do. And I sensed that immediately, so we did very little talking about it...he said, 'Shut up, I don't want to hear about it.’ He didn’t want me to tell him about it, you know. He wanted to make fun of it."

Fonda himself once admitted in an interview that he felt he wasn't a good father to his children. In the same interview, he explained that he did his best to stay out of the way of Jane and Peter's careers, citing that he felt it was important to them to know that they succeeded because they worked hard and not because they used his fame to achieve their goals.

===Death and legacy===
Fonda died at his [[Los Angeles, California|Los Angeles]] home on [[August 12]], [[1982]], at the age of 77 from [[heart disease]]. Fonda's wife Shirlee and daughter Jane were at his side when he died.
He also suffered from [[prostate cancer]], but this did not directly cause his death and was only mentioned as a concurrent ailment on his death certificate.

In the years since his death, his career has been held in even higher regard than during his life. He is widely recognized as one of the Hollywood greats of the classic era. On the [[centenary]] of his birth, [[May 16]], [[2005]], [[Turner Classic Movies]] honored him with a marathon of his films. Also in May 2005, the [[United States Post Office]] released a thirty-seven-cent [[postage stamp]] with an artist's drawing of Fonda as part of their "Hollywood legends" series.<ref name="usps"/>
