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. | |
It was possibly in this Summer of 1932 that Henry met and was the roommate of fellow-actor [[Jimmy Stewart]].
