Henry Fonda
Henry Fonda’s relationship with his children, Peter and Jane, was intricate and challenging. Despite his iconic status in Hollywood, Henry was emotionally distant and unavailable to his kids. His experiences in World War II seemed to have further isolated him, causing him to react angrily whenever his children sought affection or solace from him.
Tragically, these family dynamics took a devastating toll on their mother, Frances Seymour, who ultimately took her own life. Fonda concealed the true cause of her death from his children and even prevented them from attending her funeral. Only later, through a magazine article, a young Jane Fonda discovered the painful truth surrounding her mother’s passing.
