They roomed together in New York, and when they began making films in Hollywood, they were roommates again. Between them they made such classic films as \u003ci\u003eThe Grapes of Wrath, Mister Roberts, Twelve Angry Men, \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eOn Golden Pond;\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMr. Smith Goes to Washington, The Philadelphia Story, It’s a Wonderful Life, Vertigo,\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eRear Window.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThey got along famously, with a shared interest in elaborate practical jokes and model airplanes, among other things. But their friendship also endured despite their differences: Fonda was a liberal Democrat, Stewart a conservative Republican. Fonda was a ladies’ man who was married five times; Stewart remained married to the same woman for forty-five years. Both men volunteered during World War II and were decorated for their service. When Stewart returned home, still unmarried, he once again moved in with Fonda, his wife, and his two children, Jane and Peter, who knew him as Uncle Jimmy.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eFor his “breezy, entertaining” (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e) \u003ci\u003eHank and Jim\u003c\/i\u003e, biographer and film historian Scott Eyman spoke with Fonda’s widow and children as well as three of Stewart’s children, plus actors and directors who had worked with the men—in addition to doing extensive archival research to get the full details of their time together. This is not just another Hollywood story, but “a fascinating…richly documented biography” (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e, starred review) of an extraordinary friendship that lasted through war, marriages, children, careers, and everything else.","brand":"Simon \u0026 Schuster","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43405293289727,"sku":"9781501102189","price":17.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9781501102189_s600x595.jpg?v=1776100877","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9781501102189","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
