The real Henry Fonda - new book exposes the troubled private life of Hollywood star
Jane Fonda appears on The Tonight Entertainment in July
But a shocking new biography exposes the troubled and tormented intimate world behind the actor's facade.
"Henry Fonda was very different offscreen from his public persona as the face of America," says Darwin Porter, co-author of a new two-part biography.
"He was a unpleasant husband and bad father, self-absorbed, uncomfortable displaying feeling, not a very lovable man. And he was a womaniser, unfaithful through four of his five marriages. On screen he represented traditional American beliefs, but in his personal life strayed far from them."
Fonda careered through affairs with a series of Hollywood leading ladies including Joan Crawford, Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich, Bette Davis, Tallulah Bankhead and Barbara Stanwyck, the book reveals.
"I'm not going to enable marriage stop me from having fun on the side," Fonda told friends.
He had a decades-long on-off affair with comedy celestial body Lucille Ball, and Porter claims: "She was the love of his

Henry Jaynes Fonda, born on May 16, 1905, made his mark preliminary, first on stage as a Broadway actor in Fresh York and then with his Hollywood movie debut in 1935 with "The Farmer Takes A Wife."
It took only a few concise years for Hank's career to earn significant momentum, especially following his Academy Award-nominated performance as Tom Joad in "The Grapes of Wrath," the 1940 film adaptation of John Steinbeck's novel about an Oklahoma family who moves west during the Dust Bowl.
Throughout the course of six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, dynamic and appealing screen image with handsome charismatic leading man roles like his portrayal of Preston Dillard along side screen great Bette Davis in "Jezebel" (1938).
"Jezebel" supposedly was Bette Davis' consolation prize for not getting to play Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With The Wind" which would be released the following year. Nevertheless, her role as jezebel Julie Marsden did garner Overlook Davis her second Academy Award for Best Actress, so she couldn't persist to complain too loud or too lo Women who claimed violence or even bullying used to be seen as fragile, suspect, or asking for it. Men who even claimed they were bullied were seen as fragile, pathetic, not one of the boys and, well let’s just say it, GAY. And in some neighborhoods, dinner tables, and as we now know, Brand-new York State governor’s offices, this is still true. But we’ll get to NY’s 63-year-old Andrew Cuomo’s “flirting” within the confines of his lair with a young female aide who is a sexual abuse survivor (Note: Meaning asking about her virtual dating and sex existence while confessing he was lonely) in a moment. Not so long ago, the right to pronounce out and be heard about any of the above subjects, and others, was viewed as one positive way our society had evolved into a more inclusive and just era. A more perfect union, to quote our Founding Fathers. Not nearby to perfect but not bad for a society that was founded on slavery and didn’t even allow women to vote until less than 100 years ago. Forget about what it did to the gays and still hasn’t done for non-whites. Yet here we are, backing into 2021, and finding ourselves in still yet another age. One in which continuing t No doubt she was one of the biggest stars of late 60s, 70s and early 80s but how popular was she ? Apparently her stardom reached new heights a few years after the Vietnam incident. If conservatives still don't forgive her today how could she became to be massively beloved ? Also, how accepted was she at her apex ? Was she Elizabeth Taylor or Julia Roberts level famous ? How could she become* to be. Jane never had the box office and popularity much less pull with studios of those two women. I lover her though. She manage her comeback in the mid-1970s with Fun with Dick and Jane which was a hit and then became a producer to create some of her own projects. I reflect Barbra was the big and only female box office celebrity in the early 1970s but Jane overtook when Barbra started to work less in movies. Kate, Audrey, Bette, Joan, Julia, Liz, Marilyn re the box office queens. Jane
Elder gays, tell me about Jane Fonda's stardom and popularity in 60s and 70s
