Hi Keith
Here goes
Henry Fonda- Hank to thousands who came to know and love him through scores of outsatnding stage and screen perfornabces - was a perfectionist of great stryle and grace. Tall, clean-cut, and shy, with a distinctive, resonant drawl and purposeful, square shouldered stride, he was the archetyical American actor. Born in 1905, the son of a Nebraska printer Fonda began his career in his late teens. Critics praised him for his 'captivating simplicity' and he often played the role of the 'average guy' the'unspectacuar hero' - a man others could identify and empathize with, respect and admire. Fonda appeared inmore than seventy movies, among the most famous : Mr Roberts, The grapes of wrath, Young Mr Lincoln, Twelve Angry Men, and most recently On Golden Pond, for which he won a well deserved Academy award, thus finally achieving the kind of recognition from his peers that he had long enjoyed from his devoted fans. Even after his death, his artistic legacy survives in the creative accomplishments of his children Jane and Peter.
