HENRY
FONDA BIRTHPLACE
The cottage in which Henry Fonda was born on May 16, 1905 now sits on the grounds of the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, Nebraska. When Henry was born, the house was being rented by his parents, William Brace Fonda and Herberta Jayne Fonda. Henry Fonda arranged to have the house moved to Stuhr Museum and restored in 1966. Visitors to the museum will see the home as it may have been when the Fondas resided there. Visitors to the museum will hear an orientation slide show narrated by Henry Fonda. The museum grounds are also host to the Henry Fonda Rose Garden. Stuhr Museum is a short drive north of Interstate 80 Exit 312 at the intersection of Highways 281 and 34. The portion of the highway that sits adjacent to Stuhr Museum is officially named the Henry Fonda Memorial Highway. THE FONDA - BRANDO CONNECTION Henry Fonda first studied acting at the Omaha Community Playhouse in 1925 under the tutelage of Dorothy Brando - Marlon Brando's mother. Under the direction of Bernard Szold, Henry Fonda and Dorothy McGuire appeared together in the play, A Kiss for Cinderella. To help raise funds for a new playhouse, in June 1955 Fonda and McGuire appeared in a benefit production of Country Girl. Fonda's daughter, Jane Fonda, had a featured role in the play. THE HENRY FONDA ROSE The Henry Fonda Rose was named for the actor. See a photo of this beautiful yellow rose. THE HENRY FONDA THEATRE The Henry Fonda Theatre is located at 6126 Hollywood Blvd, Hollywood, California. |
