Henry Jaynes Fonda
(May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982) was an American film and stage actor
[1]
who had a career that spanned five decades on Broadway and in Hollywood. Fonda cultivated an
everyman
screen image in several films considered to be classics.
Fonda made his mark early as a
Broadway
actor and made his Hollywood film debut in 1935. He rose to film stardom with performances in such films as;
Jezebel
(1938),
Jesse James
(1939), and
Young Mr. Lincoln
(1939). His career further progressed with his portrayal of
Tom Joad
in
The Grapes of Wrath
(1940), receiving a nomination for the
Academy Award for Best Actor
.
In 1941 he starred opposite
Barbara Stanwyck
in the screwball comedy classic
The Lady Eve
. Book-ending his service in WWII were his starring roles in two highly regarded Westerns:
The Ox-Bow Incident
(1943) and
My Darling Clementine
(1946), the latter directed by
John Ford
, and he also starred in Ford's Western
Fort Apache
(1948). After a seven-year break from films, during which Fonda focused on stage productions, he returned with the WWII war-boat ensemble
Mister Roberts
(1955). In 1956, at the age of fifty-one, he played the title role as the thirty-eight-year-old Manny Balestrero in Alfred Hitchcock's thriller
The Wrong Man
. In 1957, he starred as Juror 8, the hold-out juror, in
12 Angry Men
. Fonda, who was also the co-producer of this film, won the
BAFTA
award for Best Foreign Actor.
Later in his career, Fonda moved into darker roles, such as the villain in the epic
Once Upon a Time in the West
(1968), a box office success in Europe, now regarded as one of the best Westerns of all time. He also played in lighter-hearted fare such as
Yours, Mine and Ours
with
Lucille Ball
and
My Name is Nobody
with
Terence Hill
, but also often played important military figures, such as a colonel in
Battle of the Bulge
(1965), and Admiral Nimitz in
Midway
(1976). He won the
Academy Award for Best Actor
at the
54th Academy Awards
for his final film role in
On Golden Pond
(1981), which also starred
Katharine Hepburn
and his daughter
Jane Fonda
, but was too ill to attend the ceremony. He died from heart disease a few months later.
Fonda 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-
Greatest Male Screen Legends
of the Classic Hollywood Era (stars with a film debut by 1950) by the
American Film Institute
.
