I love Hank Fonda! For me, he’s right up there with Duke and Jimmy Stewart!
I have several of his Westerns on DVD, and also a list of others I will probably get if I ever have extra $ laying around!😀
I’ll probably get flamed for saying this, but it’s gospel truth for me!

Big Henry Fonda fan here. Liked the western with him and Charles Bronson, where they hang Bronsons older brother and while Bronson is holding brother up, Fonda sticks a harmonica in Bronsons mouth. Was it Once upon a time in the west?

I always thought that Henry Fonda looked more like the real Wyatt Earp in My Darling Clementine, than any other actor in Hollywood who played "Wyatt Earp" in so many of the various movies about "Wyatt Earp."

My opinion.

He was great in Lonesome Dove.


But The Cheyenne Social Club may have been his bestest.

For me, “Cheyenne Social Club” with Jimmy Stewart!
JD wasn’t to good with a gun, but Harley cracked that Pecan at just the right time 😀
Some pretty ladies and a wonderfully funny plot.
Couldn’t sing worth a lick, though!😀

I even like his old stuff like "Drums along the Mohawk", if you have not seen it you should.

Made in 1939, excellent and another John Ford Masterpiece, IMO.

What in the heck would possess someone to say something like this on a public forum?
Some of the things I see on here makes me not blame several old friends for dropping this place!

I was wondering if I should maybe put you on ignore.
I normally don’t do that, because even azzholes occasionally post something intelligent or informative.
You’re making the choice easier! 😀
Thanks!

His son Peter was no gem, either. When Trump was president, Fonda said his son, Barron, should be taken away and locked in a cage with pedophiles.

Loved him as an actor.
His kids, OTOH -
Jane is high on my list of those on the low-life side.
Peter was high when I met him, and seemed to stay that way the whole day I was an extra.
We were filming Easy Rider. While Dennis Hopper stayed high, he was pretty good to get along with - where PF was an absolute PRICK!

Henry didn't turn out to be great father.
