Henry Jaynes Fonda was born on May 16th, 1905 in Nebraska, growing up in Omaha where his father set up a printing plant. In his childhood he worked part-time there while considering a career as a journalist. A series of growth spurts along with his family’s close-knit Christian Scientist beliefs left him a shy, quiet, six-foot-tall loner, who quit the University of Minnesota where he was majoring in journalism when he discovered acting instead. Enthralled with being someone else on the stage instead of his awkward self, he moved to Cape Cod in 1928 to explore professional theater, joining an intercollegiate summer stock company called the University Players. Here he met and fell in love with Margaret Sullavan, moving to New York City with her in 1931 to marry her. The marriage ended in 1933, and he became roommates with James Stewart, beginning a lifelong friendship and mutually supportive career on stage and screen together despite their political disagreements. In 1935 Fonda got his first break in films, playing Janet Gaynor’s leading man in 20th Century Fox’s The Farmer Takes a Wife, a role he had originated in the Broadway production first. The following year he moved to Hollywood and married Frances Ford Seymour, with whom he had two children who also grew up to be actors, Jane and Peter. The rest of the 1930s saw him rocket to stardom, and in 1940 he was nominated for the Academy Award for his role in The Grapes of Wrath. Fonda enlisted in the United States Navy to fight in World War II, serving initially as a quartermaster 3rd class on the destroyer USS Satterlee before being commissioned as a lieutenant junior grade in Air Combat Intelligence in the Central Pacific. He was awarded the Bronze Star Medal and Navy Presidential Unit Citation, and transferred to the Naval Reserve, serving until 1948. He had made several post-war movies during this time and reconnected with Stewart, but his experiences had made him even more distant and emotionally unstable. He avoided film for a time, returning to Broadway and winning the Tony Award for Best Actor for his role in Mister Roberts in 1949. That same year he requested a divorce from Frances, who went into a sanitarium and committed suicide in April of 1950. He married Susan Blanchard later that same year, with whom they adopted a daughter, but divorced her in 1953. After an eight-year absence from films he starred in the same role in the 1955 film version of Mister Roberts, continuing a pattern of bringing his acclaimed stage roles to life on the big screen. In 1957 Fonda married the Italian baroness Afdera Franchetti and made his first foray into producing with 12 Angry Men, in which he also starred and won the Golden Globe and BAFTA Awards for Best Actor. During the 1960s Fonda performed in a number of war and Western epics, and continued to work in theater, television, and film throughout the 1970s. He divorced Afdera in 1961 and married Shirlee Mae Adams in 1965, with whom he remained for the rest of his life. He won a Grammy Award in 1977 for Best Spoken Word Album, and finally won an Academy Award in 1981, just one year before his death on August 12th, 1982. He is remembered as one of the titans of both Classic Cinema and the paradigm shifts in the Hollywood system in the mid-20th Century, and is one of the rare few to achieve three out of four parts of the coveted EGOT, having been nominated three times for Emmys but never receiving one.
