Henry, like many aspiring actors and singers, worked part-time, during this time, as a male model for artists.  In 1930 a book was published listing some of these model's with their measurements and his name was mentioned there.  And right now, a dozen art historians are scrambling through moldy paintings to find a naked 25-year-old Henry Fonda....

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...."  And again an announcement on 9 Jul 1930 of a new film ''Reno in the Fall'' co-starring Henry Fonda opposite Margaret Sullavan, calls him her "ex-husband".  It appears likely, from silence, that this film was never made.

==1934==
 
Henry Fonda co-starred with [[Imogene Coca]] in ''New Faces of 1934'' which opened March 1934. This was the first of [[Leonard Sillman]]'s annual revues, each called ''New Faces''. See the mention [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=38771701&currentResult=2&src=search&firstvisit=true here].  Note the interesting tidbit, that one of the potential backers who came to watch the auditions was none other than [[Libby Holmon]] later to be well-known in regards to her relationship with [[Montgomery Clift]].  Libby you will recall was the torch-singer who married a wealthy man who died such an interesting death that Libby went on trial for it.
