Margaret Sullavan evidently caused a bit of a stir in some corners. Henry received one fan letter with a courteously enclosed self-addressed stamped envelope but with a presumptuous request:<blockquote>Dear Mr Fonda: I am one of Miss Sullivan's [sic] most ardent worshippers, in fact, I'm in love with her.  I see by the papers that you are her former husband.  Will you introduce me when you arrive to Hollywood?  Or, better still, write me a letter of introduction to her?"

Henry and Margaret had  remained on reasonable terms for some time.  They were seen out-together once-in-a-while, and there was some gossip that they might remarry.  Jane Fonda however states that just after Henry and Margaret separated, Margaret had taken up with producer Jed Harris. "Dad would stand outside her window, knowing Harris was inside with her."<blockquote>"That just destroyed me," he said a lifetime later to Howard Teichmann. "Never in my life have I felt so betrayed, so rejected, so alone."</blockquote> Margaret and Jed however didn't marry, even though the gossip was they might, her next marriage was to director William Wyler.  He was directing her in her current film and there was '''no gossip''' that they were even romantically linked.  So the marriage was a complete surprise. In the Nov 1934 article mentioning that Margaret had just re-married, they state that Fonda and she had divorced "two years ago".
