Henry Fonda



Fonda died at his Los Angeles home on August 12, 1982, at the age of 77 from heart disease. Fonda's wife Shirlee, daughter Jane and son Peter were at his side when he died.[25] He also suffered from prostate cancer, but this did not directly cause his death and was only mentioned as a concurrent ailment on his death certificate.

In the years since his death, Fonda's career has been held in even higher regard than during his life. He is widely recognized as one of the Hollywood greats of the classic era. On the centenary of his birth, May 16, 2005, Turner Classic Movies honored him with a marathon of his films. Also in May 2005, the United States Post Office released a thirty-seven-cent postage stamp with an artist's drawing of Fonda as part of their "Hollywood legends" series.[14] Henry Fonda Theater is located at 6126 Hollywood Blvd., Hollywood, Los Angeles, California. 34°06′07″N 118°20′28″W / 34.101944, -118.340972

In popular culture

  • Major Major in the Joseph Heller novel Catch-22 is joked, mocked, and resented for "bearing a sickly resemblance to Henry Fonda."
  • In an episode of the TV series Angel, Lorne appears to be making an effort to resurrect Fonda.
  • The Shona Laing song "1905", which reached #4 in the New Zealand charts in 1973, is about Fonda, upon whom Laing had a crush on as a teenager.
