Henry Fonda’s birth home, Grand Island, Nebraska. (Photo by the author)
As “Peter” in The Poet’s Well, Omaha Community Playhouse, February 1927. Costar Wenonah La Boisseaux went on to be an Omaha correspondent to the Associated Press. (Photofest)
Margaret Sullavan, c. 1934. “Her voice was exquisite and far away,” said silent film star Louise Brooks, “almost like an echo.” (Photofest)
Fonda and Sullavan in the University Players production of Holiday, Baltimore, January 1932. Here, the two are just married; weeks later, they are kaput. Left to right: Fonda, Myron McCormick, Sullavan, Joshua Logan, Barbara O’Neil. (Photofest)
First Broadway lead: with June Walker in The Farmer Takes a Wife, October 1934. (Photofest)
Leland Hayward, mid-1930s. (Photofest)
Walter Wanger in 1934. (Photofest)
“His appearance of sincerity.” Fonda and Janet Gaynor in The Farmer Takes a Wife (1935). (Photofest)
Henry in the Beverly Hills bungalow he shared with Jimmy Stewart, early 1936. (Jerry Ohlinger’s)
Fonda and Sullavan rest between rounds in The Moon’s Our Home (1936). “When they fight,” Pauline Kael wrote, “you feel you’re hearing their real battling rhythms.” (Photofest)
She said she’d never heard of him. Henry and Frances in late 1936, weeks after their marriage. (Photofest)
One angry man: making You Only Live Once (1937, with Sylvia Sidney), Fonda incurred bruises and lacerations in fight scenes, and “jokingly” fired a prop gun at director Fritz Lang. (Photofest)
