Henry Fonda Last Will and Testament

Download this free copy of the Last Will and Testament of actor Henry Fonda.

Henry Jaynes Fonda (1905-1982) was an American film and stage actor, best known for his roles as plain-speaking idealists.
Fonda made his Hollywood debut in 1935 and received his first Academy Award nomination for his performance as Tom Joad in 1940's The Grapes of Wrath.
Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image in such classics as The Ox-Bow Incident, Mister Roberts and 12 Angry Men. Later, Fonda moved toward both more challenging, darker epics as Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West and lighter roles in family comedies like Yours, Mine and Ours with Lucille Ball.
Henry Fonda was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter Jane Fonda, son Peter Fonda, granddaughter Bridget Fonda, and grandson Troy Garity; his family and close friends called him "Hank".
His last movie role was in 1981's On Golden Pond, in which he played the father of real-life daughter Jane Fonda. Henry played an emotionally brittle and distant father who becomes more accessible at the end of his life. Jane Fonda has said that elements of the story mimicked their real-life relationship, and helped them resolve certain issues. She bought the film rights in the hope that her father would play the role, and later described it as "a gift to my father that was so unbelievably successful." The chemistry between them and Katharine Hepburn as the wife and mother made for an unforgettable film experience.
In 1999, Henry Fonda was named the sixth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.

Francis Albert (Frank) Sinatra (1915-1998), whose nicknames include "Old Blue Eyes" and "the Chairman of the Board", was an American singer and actor who began his musical career in the swing era with Harry James and Tommy Dorsey.
During the 1940s he launched a solo career and became a teen idol. In the 1950s, he found new fame as an actor, especially after he won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for From Here to Eternity.
Frank Sinatra founded Reprise Records and recorded a number of very successful albums, touring internationally. He was a founding member of the so-called Rat Pack (which included Dean Martin and Peter Lawford), and fraternized with celebrities and presidents, including President John F. Kennedy. Sinatra turned 50 in 1965, recorded the retrospective September of My Years, starred in the Emmy-winning television special Frank Sinatra: A Man and His Music, and scored hits with "Strangers in the Night" and "My Way".
Sinatra attempted to weather the changing tastes in popular music, but with sales of his music dwindling, and after appearing in several poorly received films, he retired in 1971. Coming out of retirement in 1973, he recorded several albums; scored a Top 40 hit with "(Theme From) New York, New York" in 1980; and toured both within the United States and internationally until a few years before his death in 1998.
Sinatra also forged a career as a dramatic actor, winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in From Here to Eternity, and he was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his role in The Man with the Golden Arm. He also starred in such musicals as High Society, Pal Joey, Guys and Dolls and On the Town.
Frank Sinatra was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Ronald Reagan in 1985 and the Congressional Gold Medal in 1997. He was also the recipient of 11 Grammy Awards, including the Grammy Trustees Award, Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.
