The name I want to highlight in this post is that of the American actor Henry Fonda. He is the patriarch of a family of actors, including his children: Jane Seymour Fonda (1937-) and Peter Henry Fonda (1940-2019), and his granddaughter, Bridget Jane Fonda (1964-).
Henry Fonda was one of Hollywood’s most acclaimed actors, winner of the Academy Award for Best Actor in 1982 for “On Golden Pond” (1981), in the role of “Norman Thayer Jr.”, and had already received an honorary Oscar in 1980. He also won the BAFTA for Best Foreign Actor in 1958 and two Golden Globe Awards: the Cecil B. DeMille Award in 1980 and the Best Actor Award in 1982.
Henry Fonda has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 1601 Vine Street, in the Film category.
Henry Jaynes Fonda was born on May 16, 1905, in Grand Island, Nebraska, United States, and died on August 12, 1982, at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, California, United States, at the age of 77.
Henry Fonda married five times throughout his life. His wives were American actress Margaret Brooke Sullavan (1909-1960), from 1931 to 1933; Canadian socialite Frances Ford Seymour Fonda (1908-1950), from 1936 to 1950, after whom he was widowed; American socialite Susan Blanchard Jacobson (1928-), from 1950 to 1956; and Italian baroness Afdera Franchetti (1931-2025), from 1957 to 1961; and the American actress Shirlee Adams (1920-2007), from 1965 to 1982. He had three children: Jane and Peter (with Frances) and Amy Fishman (1953-), adopted with Susan.
