Overview

"Throughout his forty-five year career, Henry Fonda-a stable, reassuring archetype of the American male-never gave a bad performance. Personal tragedies included five wives (two of whom committed suicide), and affairs which starred such mega-divas as Lucille Ball, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis. This, Volume Two of Blood Moon's ""Fonda"" project, turns klieg lights on three emotionally intertwined mega-celebrities, two of them Oscar winners: The lanky and boyish American hero, Henry; his beautiful daughter, ""the eternal rebel"" Jane; and his son, Peter, a preppy-looking thrill-seeker indelibly linked to the ""bad boy on a bike"" narrative of the 60s. This is about the Fabulous Fondas, one of Hollywood's most talented but tormented families. It reflects the private agonies of a father, daughter, and son engulfed by the divisions of their respective generations and the ironies of the American Experience."
