Troy Garity | module = }} }} Henry Jaynes "Hank" Fonda (May 16, 1905 – August 12, 1982) was an American film and stage actor〔Obituary ''Variety'', August 18, 1982.〕 with a career spanning more than five decades. Fonda made his mark early as a Broadway actor. He also appeared in 1938 in plays performed in White Plains, New York, with Joan Tompkins.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Tim Dunleavy, Biography for Joan Tompkins )〕 He made his Hollywood debut in 1935, and his career gained momentum after his Academy Award-nominated performance as Tom Joad in ''The Grapes of Wrath'', a 1940 adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moved west during the Dust Bowl. Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image in such classics as ''The Ox-Bow Incident'', ''Mister Roberts'' and ''12 Angry Men''. Later, Fonda moved both toward darker epics such as Sergio Leone's ''Once Upon a Time in the West'' and lighter roles in family comedies such as ''Yours, Mine and Ours'' with Lucille Ball, winning the Academy Award for Best Actor at the 54th Academy Awards for the movie ''On Golden Pond'', his final film role. Fonda was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter Jane Fonda, son Peter Fonda, granddaughter Bridget Fonda, and grandson Troy Garity. His family and close friends called him "Hank". In 1999, he was named the sixth-Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute. ==Family history and early life== Fonda's ancestors from Genoa, Italy, migrated to the Netherlands in the 15th century.〔 In 1642, a branch of the Fonda family immigrated to the Dutch colony of New Netherland on the East Coast of North America.〔 They were among the first Dutch population to settle in what is now upstate New York, establishing the town of Fonda, New York.〔 By 1888, many of their descendants had relocated to Nebraska.〔Bosworth, Patricia, (''Jane Fonda, The Private Life of a Public Woman'' ), Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, 2011, (p.18 ).〕 Henry Fonda was born in Grand Island, Nebraska, to advertising-printing jobber William Brace Fonda, and his wife, Elma Herberta (née Jaynes), in the second year of their marriage. Fonda was brought up as a Christian Scientist, though he was baptized an Episcopalian at St. Stephen's Episcopal Church in Grand Island. He said, "My whole damn family was nice." They were a close family and highly supportive, especially in health matters, as they avoided doctors due to their religion.〔Fonda 1981, p. 21.〕 Despite having a religious background, he later became an agnostic. Fonda was a bashful, short boy who tended to avoid girls, except his sisters, and was a good skater, swimmer, and runner. He worked part-time in his father's print plant and imagined a possible career as a journalist. Later, he worked after school for the phone company. He also enjoyed drawing. Fonda was active in the Boy Scouts of America; Teichmann reports that he reached the rank of Eagle Scout.〔Fonda 1981, p. 29.〕 When he was about 14, his father took him to observe the lynching, of a young black man accused of rape.〔Fonda 1981, p. 25.〕 This enraged the young Fonda and he kept a keen awareness of prejudice for the rest of his life.〔(Race Riots of 1919 ), Nebraska Studies, Retrieved on 2007-01-28.〕 By his senior year in high school, Fonda had grown to more than six feet tall, but remained shy. He attended the University of Minnesota, where he majored in journalism,〔(Henry Fonda. ) YahooMovies.com. Retrieved on January 11, 2007.〕 but he did not graduate. He took a job with the Retail Credit Company. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Henry Fonda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
