Peter Fonda: Henry Fonda
built 643 days ago
Peter Fonda is a member of one of filmdom's most formidable Hollywood dynasties—the Fondas—and for much of his career he has had to work in the shadow of father Henry, sister Jane, and even daughter Bridget. Born in 1939, Peter was sent to live with an aunt and uncle in Nebraska following his mother's suicide, and he studied acting at the University of Omaha. He made his Broadway debut in Blood, Sweat and Stanley Poole, for which the New York Drama Critics Circle named him the most promising actor of 1961. Following his screen debut in Tammy and the Doctor (1963), he made two more big-budget films—The Victors and Lillith (both 1964)—before a marijuana-influenced lifestyle and appearance change left him virtually unemployable in mainstream films.

Born in New York City on February 23, 1940, Fonda, by his own accounts, grew up trying to live up to his famous father's expectations.
