Henry Fonda: Lady Eve
built 613 days ago
Like [Henry] Fonda, Shirlee Adams came from the Midwest, Aurora, Illinois, an hour's drive from Chicago. She's been a religious girl, a faithful churchgoer. She didn't believe in smoking, liquor, coffee, tea, dancing, moves. She was allowed to swim in the summer, skate in the winter, and bowl in between. Everything else, they taught her, was a sin. She went from the Presbyterian Church to the Baptist Church to the Lutheran Church to the Church of God. The reason for these denominational changes was that at the age of four, Shirlee Adams was placed in the Mary A. Goddard Juvenile Home.

At the beginning of THE LADY EVE (1941) Fonda makes references to the help of a Professor Marsdit. Raymond B. Ditmars of the AMNH at the time was the best-known reptile expert in the country, the kind of popularizer that Carl Sagan later became.
