The first newspaper mention of him I find is at "The Strand" when he played Major John Hay secretary to Abraham Lincoln.  In his early twenties, "...he hitched a ride to Cape Cod with a family friend and soon hooked up with the University Players, a summer stock repertory company in Falmouth, Massachusetts."  The following year he met and fell in love with fellow-actress [[Margaret Sullavan]].  After a year and a half he proposed and they married. They lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, but the marriage only lasted about four months.  Henry, lived many aspiring actors and singers, worked part-time, during this time, as a male model for artists.  A newspaper article dated 13 Jul 1930 puts a maximal date on when Henry married Margaret as it states : "Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan, married and divorced, are going together again...."
