Date Sold 8/7/2011Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Autographed Hardcover Book (measures 6 1/4" x 9 1/4"; 372 pages) (Learn More) Henry Fonda was a highly successful actor from the 1930s to the 1970s. He is also well known for being the father of Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, and the grandfather of Bridgette Fonda! He started on the stage in 1926 (both on stage and behind the scenes), and he spent many years in community productions before getting his big break in 1935. He had an unusual relationship with Margaret Sullavan (briefly his wife), and James Stewart, and the three were lifelong friends. Some of his movies include: 12 Angry Men, How the West Was Won, The Grapes Of Wrath (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Ox-Bow Incident, My Darling Clementine, The Lady Eve, Mister Roberts, Fail-Safe, Fort Apache, The Longest Day, Advise and Consent, You Only Live Once, On Golden Pond (winner of the Best Actor Academy Award for this film), The Best Man, Drums Along the Mohawk, Jezebel, Tales of Manhattan, and The Wrong Man (to name a few)! He passed away in 1982 at the age of 77. Important Added Info: Note that there is a stiff piece of paper that has been personally autographed (signed) by Henry Fonda that was glued to the first title page (the book itself was not signed), and it is the first edition from 1981 (but because the paper is signed "Henry Fonda, My Life", we would assume that he signed those to be glued into the books)! Note that this item was consigned to us by an individual who owned a company that made movies and videos with famous celebrities in the 1980s and 1990s. The owner of the company would have the celebrities sign items from their famous films, and sometimes he would find second or third celebrities to autograph an item he already had gotten signed! In addition, he would ask celebrities he came in contact with if they had signed items from other stars that they would sell to him, and he purchased a number of items that way. He also would purchase unsigned items from the famed Larry Edmunds Bookshop in Los Angeles (to have the celebrities sign), and while he was doing that he would also purchase some of their signed items. So all of these autographed items we are auctioning were either obtained in person, obtained from celebrities who obtained them in person, or obtained from the Larry Edmunds Bookshop, and we feel certain that the autograph(s) on this item is authentic! Condition: very good to fine. There are some faint scuffs on the dust jacket, but overall, the book is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
