Henry Fonda 05.16.1905 - 08.12.1982 (77 years old)

Henry Fonda was an American film and stage actor with a career spanning five decades. Fonda made his mark early as a Broadway actor. He also appeared in 1938 in plays performed in White Plains, New York, with Joan Tompkins.He made his Hollywood debut in 1935, and his career gained momentum after his Academy Award-nominated performance as Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath, a 1940 adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. Throughout five 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 both toward darker epics such as Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West and lighter roles in family comedies such as Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball, winning the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 54th Academy Awards for the movie On Golden Pond, his final film role.

One of the greats during the golden years of Hollywood. Too many wonderful performance to name

James

He was definitely good in this..So many actors have portrayed Wyatt. Truly one of the great real life characters in our history. He brought out the softer side of him...Of all the actors that have portrayed him..Mr. Fonda and James Gardner are my personal favorites. Mr. Fonda, James Stewart, Cary Cooper, Spencer Tracy and John Wayne, (for me) on film have always Personified the American Male.
