Henry Fonda signs publicity photograph from the 1939 movie Drums
Along the Mohawk
Photograph signed: "Henry Fonda". B/w, 10x8. Movie still
from the 1939 film, Drums Along the Mohawk. Captioned at lower
margin. This 20th Century-Fox film, directed by John Ford, starred Fonda and
Claudette Colbert (pictured) as Gilbert and Lana Borst Martin, who try to make a
home in New York State's Mohawk Valley during the American Colonial period.
The film, which was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Supporting
Actress (Edna Mary Oliver) and Best Color Cinematography, was made
the same year in which Ford directed his ground-breaking Western,
Stagecoach. One of the cinema's most enduring actors, Henry Fonda
(1905-1982) enjoyed a highly successful career spanning close to a half
century. His first important Broadway part was in the first
edition of New Faces in 1934. That was followed by the title role in
The Farmer Takes a Wife, which he repeated in Hollywood the following
year. Two years later, Fonda was an established star appearing in such films as
Jezebel, Jesse James, Young Mr.
Lincoln, Drums Along the Mohawk and The Grapes of
Wrath. In March 1982, five months before he died at the age of 77,
Henry Fonda won his only Academy Award for his performance in On Golden
Pond, co-starring Katharine Hepburn and his daughter, Jane Fonda. In
1999, Fonda was named the sixth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the
American Film Institute. Vintage photo. Tack holes at blank corners, tack
stain at lower left blank corner. Stained and creased. Ink and paper stamps, ink
notes (unknown hands) on verso.
