An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Playbill (measures 7" x 9 1/2"; 20 pages) (Learn More) Henry Fonda was a highly successful actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He is also well known for being the father of Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, and the grandfather of Bridgette Fonda! He started on the stage in 1926 (both on stage and behind the scenes), and he spent many years in community productions before getting his big break in 1935. He had an unusual relationship with Margaret Sullavan (briefly his wife), and James Stewart, and the three were lifelong friends. Some of his movies include: 12 Angry Men, How the West Was Won, The Grapes Of Wrath (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Ox-Bow Incident, My Darling Clementine, The Lady Eve, Mister Roberts, Fail-Safe, Fort Apache, The Longest Day, Advise and Consent, You Only Live Once, On Golden Pond (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Best Man, Drums Along the Mohawk, Jezebel, Tales of Manhattan, and The Wrong Man (to name a few)! He passed away in 1982 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that this playbill has been personally autographed (signed) by Henry Fonda! Note that this playbill is from "New Faces", the play Fonda appeared in before he got his big break and went to Hollywood. In the playbill, they say "Henry Fonda has acted, directed, or designed - one or both or all for community playhouses of Omaha, Dennis, Surry, Westchester, Falmouth..." He had been doing all this in stage productions since 1926, so he was certainly far from an overnight sensation! Note that our consignor has been a film historian and book writer and editor for 35 years, and is an expert on autographs. He purchased this from the estate of a longtime autograph collector, and he (and we) are 100% certain it is authentic. Condition: very good. Learn More about condition grades
