Line 71:

Jane Fonda states that just after Henry and Margaret separated, Margaret had taken up with producer Jed Harris. "Dad would stand outside her window, knowing Harris was inside with her."<blockquote>"That just destroyed me," he said a lifetime later to Howard Teichmann. "Never in my life have I felt so betrayed, so rejected, so alone."</blockquote> Could "Jed Harris" and Elmer Harris be the same person?

It was ~~reportedly~~ in this Summer of 1932 that Henry met and was the roommate of fellow-actor [[Jimmy Stewart]], at the Madison Square Hotel "while both worked on Broadway" ([http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=114970741&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=3 Seguin Gazette Enterprise (Seguin, Texas), 13 Aug 1982, page 3]). Some sources state that Stewart was also a member of the University Players, starting that Summer. ~~Whether or not~~ Stewart ~~worked on Broadway at that time~~, ~~and whether or not he was ever in the University Players needs more research. So far I've~~ not ~~found confirmation for either claim~~.

It has been reported that it was in this Summer of 1932 that Henry met and was the roommate of fellow-actor [[Jimmy Stewart]], at the Madison Square Hotel "while both worked on Broadway" ([http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=114970741&firstvisit=true&src=search&currentResult=3 Seguin Gazette Enterprise (Seguin, Texas), 13 Aug 1982, page 3]), but this is false. Some sources state that Stewart was also a member of the University Players, starting that Summer, which is true. But Stewart replaced Fonda, they did not work together.

Meanwhile, Henry's future wife, socialite Frances (Seymour) Brokaw who had married George Brokaw Jan 1931 was "...living in splendor as Mrs Brokaw, in a mansion with a moat on Fifth Avenue..." (''My Life'', p 36). What was Henry Fonda doing between Mar 1932 and Sep 1932 ? I haven't found anything yet.
