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.

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. | 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...."

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¤tResult=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. | Henry Fonda co-starred with [[Imogene Coca]] in ''New Faces of 1934'' which opened March 1934.
