People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I knew Henry Fonda was my father, but I didn't know who I was. They all thought of me as Henry Fonda's son. Unfortunately for them, they never got to know me.
My father was very intense, passionate and over-the-top. He was my hero and my tyrant.
I remember saying goodbye to my father the night he left to join the Navy. He didn't have to. He was older than other servicemen and had a family to support but he wanted to be a part of the fight against fascism, not just make movies about it. I admired this about him.
Henry Fonda's son: That's how everybody identified me until Easy Rider came along. Good old Captain America.
With Dad, he was the ultimate wildlife warrior, and we admired him more than anything.
My dad was a great dad.
I didn't get to meet Hank Williams. I was in the Air Force on Okinawa when he passed away.
I don't know whether there is anyone else at all who remembers my noble father with such sadness.
I was brought up largely by my grandfather because my father only returned from a prisoner-of-war camp in 1947 and worked in the nearest small town, so I hardly ever saw him.
I must have had faith that day. When I went out, I was Henry Fonda again. An unemployed actor but a man.
