I think one of the most fascinating stories of friendship is between Stewart and Hank Fonda. Politically polar opposites as were their children.
When Jim was asked how they could be friends, being so politically different, he replied, in his “Jimmy” way - “Well, there’s somethings we just don’t talk about.”
Fonda and Stewart were in acting school together...
Fonda was an oldstyle lib not an America hater
He loathed Jane Fonda first husband,Roger Vadim for radicalizing her and pimping her out in Barbarella. He wasa a close friend of an ARVN MG.
Henry Fonda painted Jimmy’s horse that he used in dozens of movies. Google it. Fonda was an accomplished painter.
