A very young Henry Fonda (Credit afi.com)</td><td>The first newspaper mention of him I find is when he appeared at "The Strand" playing the role of Major John Hay, secretary to Abraham Lincoln, who was played by George Billings. Answers.com [http://www.answers.com/topic/henry-fonda here] states that they toured for three months, after which he returning to Omaha became "assistant director at the Omaha Community Playhouse." 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. At some point during this Massachusetts/New York time, Henry met and was the roommate of fellow-actor [[Jimmy Stewart]]. Henry, like many aspiring actors and singers, worked part-time, during this time, as a male model for artists.</td></tr></table>

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...." Meanwhile, his future wife, Frances (Seymour) Brokaw was "...living in splendor as Mrs Brokaw, in a mansion with a moat on Fifth Avenue..." (''My Life'', p 36)
