===Early Career===

Henry Fonda made his Broadway debut as a walk‐on in 1929's ''The Game of Love and Death''.

+

Henry, like many aspiring actors and singers, worked part-time, during this time, as a male model for artists. In 1930 a book was published listing some of these model's with their measurements and his name was mentioned there. And right now, a dozen art historians are scrambling through moldy paintings to find a naked 25-year-old Henry Fonda....

+

A newspaper article dated 13 Jul 1930 puts a maximal date on when Henry married Margaret as it states : "Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan, married and divorced, are going together again...." And again an announcement in Jul 1930 of a new film co-starring Henry Fonda opposite Margaret Sullavan, calls him her "ex-husband".

+

Meanwhile, his future wife, Frances (Seymour) Brokaw was "...living in splendor as Mrs Brokaw, in a mansion with a moat on Fifth Avenue..." (''My Life'', p 36)

He played the Prince in ''Cinderella'' in Nov 1930 opposite Suzanne Pollard (stage name "Shirley Horton"), daughter of the Governor of Virginia (see [http://www.newspaperarchive.com/PdfViewerTags.aspx?img=50005553&currentResult=3&src=search&firstvisit=true here]). The Wikipedia biography of Jimmy Stewart [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Stewart_(actor) here] citing Houghton (1951) and also Eliot (2006) states that Henry Fonda and Margaret Sullavan did (re)marry on Christmas Day 1931, but by the following Summer of 1932 this second marriage had also ended. Her Wikipedia biography states that they married in Baltimore, Maryland.
