The man who saw a ghost : the life and work of Henry Fonda
McKinney, Devin2012
Books
Henry Fonda's performances helped define 'American' in the 20th century. He was a Broadway legend. He fought in World War II and was loved the world over. Yet much of his life was rage and struggle. Why did Fonda marry 5 times? Was he a man of integrity, worthy of the heroes he played, or the harsh father his children describe, the iceman who went onstage hours after his wife killed herself? McKinney's Fonda is dark, complex, fascinating, and a product of glamour and acclaim, early losses and Midwestern demons - a man haunted by what he'd seen, and by who he was.
