henry jaynes fonda ( may 16 , 1905 – august 12 , 1982 ) was an american film and stage actor with a career spanning five decades .

fonda made his mark early as a broadway actor .

he also appeared in 1938 in plays performed in white plains , new york , with joan tompkins .

he made his hollywood debut in 1935 , and his career gained momentum after his academy award-nominated performance as tom joad in the grapes of wrath , a 1940 adaptation of john steinbeck 's novel about an oklahoma family who moved west during the dust bowl .

throughout five 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 both toward darker epics such as sergio leone 's once upon a time in the west and lighter roles in family comedies such as yours , mine and ours with lucille ball , winning the academy award for best actor at the 54th academy awards for the movie on golden pond , his final film role .

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 " .

in 1999 , he was named the sixth-greatest male star of all time by the american film institute .
