Henry Fonda played the title role in 1939's ''Young Mr. Lincoln''. In 1940 Henry received his first Oscar nomination playing in arguably his best-known role, as Tom Joad in the 1940 film ''The Grapes of Wrath'' based on the novel by Steinbeck. To get this role, he had agree to a seven-year contract which compelled him to play in such nothings as the romantic-comedy ''The Lady Eve'' in 1941 with [[Barbara Stanwyck]] and 1942's ''The Male Animal''. | Henry Fonda played the title role in 1939's ''Young Mr. Lincoln''.
