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.

Peter Fonda

Clarence Darrow was a unique and courageous man. Several of my favourite actors have played Darrow... Henry Fonda, Orson Welles and Spencer Tracy.

Kevin Spacey

We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie [Humphrey Bogart], James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart [James Stewart].

Lauren Bacall

If I have enough ego to say I'm a writer, a director, a producer, and an actor, I should have the energy and the knowledge to write a scene for this great actor named Henry Fonda and direct him in it and have it work.

Peter Fonda

I always hated when the studios just kind of said that anybody can act. You look at people like Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda - and I'm just talking about the male actors - there aren't a lot who can act. It's a very special talent, and I wish it were recognized as a very special talent.

Bob Newhart

Being Henry Fonda's daughter got me started. But it didn't keep me working.

Jane Fonda

We were brought up in the school that teaches: You do what the script tells you. Deliver the goods without comment. Live it-do it-or shut up. After all, the writer is what's important. If the script is good and you don't get in its way, it will come off okay. I never discussed a script with Spence [Spencer Tracy]; we just did it. The same with Hank [Henry Fonda] in On Golden Pond. Naturally and unconsciously we joined into what I call a musical necessity-the chemistry that brings out the essence of the characters and the work.

Katharine Hepburn

Henry Fonda's son: That's how everybody identified me until Easy Rider came along. Good old Captain America.

Peter Fonda

Getting out from under the shadow of Henry Fonda was difficult.

Peter Fonda

Bogart was like Henry Fonda - proud and happy to be an actor.

Katharine Hepburn

I thank Henry James for the scene in the hotel room, that I stole from Portrait Of A Lady… This particular scene is the most beautiful scene ever written.

Leos Carax

I've worked with wonderful actors like Marlon Brando and Henry Fonda.

Eli Wallach

If Gary Cooper and Henry Fonda had a baby, it would be Matthew Modine.

Stanley Kubrick

I must have had faith that day. When I went out, I was Henry Fonda again. An unemployed actor but a man.

Henry Fonda

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.

Peter Fonda

...and I suddenly feel that Henry is there, incredible need for Henry to be there and to put his hand on me even while it seems to me that Henry is the rain and I am alone and wanting him - Clare
