Henry Fonda, as young Abe Lincoln, Wyatt Earp and Mr Roberts, embodied a particularly American integrity and decency. Yet his private life was cluttered with broken relationships, destined to scar the lives of the children who would remake the legend: Jane, whose career has progressed from "Barbarella", to notoriety as "Hanoi Jane", to extraordinary success as queen of the aerobic workout; and Peter, one of the enduring icons of the 1960s for his role in "Easy Rider", whose subsequent career has contained little of distinction. "The Fondas" is a story of tragedy, melodrama and farce, a special insight into not just one remarkable family, but the American dream. *** Quantity Available: 1.
