Henry Fonda was the father of actors [[Jane Fonda]] (b. 1937) and [[Peter Fonda]]. Jane was born in New York City while Henry was filming ''Jezebel'' with [[Bette Davis]]. He had had it written into his contract that if his wife gave birth while they were shooting, he could fly back to New York to be with them. Jane comments in her biography, how her father stated that he took dozens of pictures while there at the hospital, and that she has them. She wistfully comments that in none of these pictures is there one of her mother holding her. | Henry Fonda was the father of actors [[Jane Fonda]] (b. 1937) and [[Peter Fonda]].
