Henry Fonda ( 1905 – 1982 ) was American stage and Film actor who appeared in more than 90 films over six decades and created quintessential American heroes known for their integrity.
I hope you won’t be disappointed. You see I am not a very interesting person. I haven’t ever done anything except be other people.
I ain’t really Henry Fonda!
Nobody could be.
Nobody could have that much integrity.
Henry Fonda
If there is something in my eyes, a kind of honesty in the face, then I guess you could say that’s the man I’d like to be, the man I want to be.
Henry Fonda
I look like my father. To this day, when I walk past a mirror and see my reflection in it, my first impression is: That’s my father. There is a strong Fonda look.
Henry Fonda
I don’t really like myself. Never did. People mix me up with the characters I play. I’m not a great guy like Doug Roberts [in ‘Mister Roberts’]. I’d like to be but I’m not. Henry Fonda
