Henry Fonda made his Broadway debut as a walk‐on in 1929's ''The Game of Love and Death''. The entry for [http://www.ibdb.com/person.php?id=40805 "Henry Fonda"] in the Internet Broadway database states that this play ran from Nov 1929 to Jan 1930 and that he next appeared on Broadway Oct 1932. I would note of course that the Internet Broadway database is run by a bunch of maroons who want you to snail-mail or fax them corrections! How last decade! | Henry Fonda made his Broadway debut as a walk‐on in 1929's ''The Game of Love and Death''.

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.... | Henry, like many aspiring actors and singers, worked part-time, during this time, as a male model for artists.

| + | "After a year and a half of courting her, he proposed and they married. They lived in Greenwich Village, New York City, but the marriage only lasted about four months." It is not clear to me here if Jane understands that her father and Margaret married each other twice. So she could possibly be referring to either time in this remark. | ||

| + | Henry Fonda and Margaret's first marriage likely occurred in late 1929. Again here I am correcting Biography.com which states that they married in 1931 and divorced in 1933. This as we'll see probably relates to their '''re'''-marriage. (And at any rate they had separated by Summer of 1932.)</td></tr></table> | ||
