* MoneyDearBoy: From the '60s onward the balance of Fonda's roles were cameos in movies of varying quality. Occasionally it was something like ''Film/TheLongestDay'' or ''Film/HowTheWestWasWon'', sometimes it was ''Film/TheSwarm'' or ''Film/{{Meteor}}''.

Fonda was married five times. His children from his third wife, Frances Ford Seymour, Creator/{{Jane|Fonda}} and Creator/{{Peter|Fonda}}, as well as granddaughter Creator/{{Bridget|Fonda}}, are also accomplished actors in their own right. Though he often played nice guys in his films in real life he was reportedly very distant and withdrawn from people, even his own children, and by his own admission he was not an ideal parent. He died of heart failure on August 12, 1982 at age 77.

Though he often played nice guys in his films in real life he was reportedly very distant and withdrawn from people, even his own children, and by his own admission he was not an ideal parent. Peter recalled breaking in to tears upon hearing Henry praise his acting in an interview as it was the first time he'd ever heard his father praise his work. He died of heart failure on August 12, 1982 at age 77.

* CelebrityEndorsement: In TheSeventies, when his MoneyDearBoy phase hit its stride, he became the spokesman for GAF Materials Corporation, endorsing things like blank film and kitchen floors in a long series of TV commercials. GAF also made the View-Master around this time, and one of Fonda's View-Master commercials featured him talking to some kids, including an 8-year-old named Creator/JodieFoster.
