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. Fonda enlisted and
served three years in the Navy during WWII-serving in Air Combat Intelligence in
the Central Pacific, he was awarded a Presidential Citation and the Bronze
Star. 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. Rugged, athletic and handsome, BURT LANCASTER
(1913-1994) enjoyed phenomenal success from his first film, The Killers,
to his last, Field of Dreams -- a career spanning more than four decades.
Lancaster starred in the classic From Here to Eternity, earning a Best
Actor Academy Award nomination in 1953 for his performance (in his beachside
rendezvous with co-star Deborah Kerr, he created one of the most indelible
images in film history). For Elmer Gantry, he won the 1961 Best Actor
Oscar for his superb portrayal of the title character, a disreputable
evangelist. Some of the other highlights of his career include Sorry,
Wrong Number, Jim Thorpe-All American, Come Back, Little
Sheba, The Rose Tattoo, Trapeze, Gunfight at the O.K.
Corral, Judgment at Nuremberg, The Birdman of Alcatraz, The
Professionals and Atlantic City. Actress/singer DOROTHY LAMOUR
(1914-1996), born Mary Leta Dorothy Kaumeyer, is best known for the six
Road pictures in which she starred with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby,
beginning with 1940's Road to Singapore. Lamour, a former band
vocalist and radio singer, had first donned a sarong in 1936, the year she
signed a contract for Paramount Pictures, in Jungle Princess. A
popular performer with the U.S.O., Lamour also appeared in numerous Bob Hope TV
specials as well as in TV movies and numerous feature films, including
The Hurricane (1937), St. Louis Blues (1939), Beyond the Blue
Horizon (1942), The Greatest Show on Earth (1952), Donovan's
Reef (1963) and Won Ton Ton, the Dog Who Saved Hollywood (1976).
