We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie (Humphrey Bogart), James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart (James Stewart).
Lauren Bacall
[Talking about actress Lindsay Lohan]: "Lindsay`s behavior on her latest film Georgia Rule (2007) was unacceptable. It`s not like she was doing Dumb & Dumber 2. It`s a Jane Fonda movie! Be early! I saw Lohan stumbling around a club drunk once and her moth...
Rosie O`Donnell
Upon accepting her Oscar for "Julia," 1978: "My dear colleagues, I thank you very very much for this tribute to my work. I think that Jane Fonda and I have done the best work of our lives, and I salute you and I pay tribute to you, and I think you should ...
Vanessa Redgrave
[On Henry Fonda] If I can be like Henry Fonda, then I look forward to aging to sixty and beyond -- and not just because Hank finally won the Oscar he deserved. He was a good character actor and a good actor in the American tradition of playing variations ...

[on Jane Fonda and Peter Fonda, 1976] "I didn`t help or discourage them or lead them by the hand. I`m not trying to set myself up as a good father, because I wasn`t a good father. But I think I knew instinctively that if they did make it, they would like ...

Henry Fonda
The subtlest comedy you can get right now is MASH (1970). They don`t want to see a picture unless Peter Fonda is running over a dozen people or unless Clint Eastwood has got a machine gun bigger then 140 penises. It gets bigger all the time, you know; it ...
Billy Wilder
[on Henry Fonda] I have never known an actor with such craft, with such professional seriousness; such a pleasant man, full of humor, so reserved and so keenly quick-witted.
Sergio Leone
[on Jane Fonda] Jane`s person is more specific than most of us. She`s well disciplined and knows what she wants and where she`s going and works objectively to apply all her information to that intention. With Jane, the character and force is embodied in h...
Donald Sutherland
I hope you won`t be disappointed. You see I am not a very interesting person. I haven`t ever done anything except be other people. I ain`t really Henry Fonda! Nobody could be. Nobody could have that much integrity.
Henry Fonda
[1979] I`ve known Jane Fonda since she was a little girl. I`ve never agreed with a word she`s said, but would give my life defending her right to say it.
John Wayne
The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda`s daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun (in North Vietnam) was a betrayal...The largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine.

Jane Fonda
[Cary Grant] is quite remarkable, you know. I think [Audrey Hepburn] is now too old for him, and in his next picture he will be making love to someone like Jane Fonda.
Ingrid Bergman
[On working with Jane Fonda on Klute (1971)] I liked her passion. And her professionalism. You know, Jane worked for years as a silly ingénue on the stage in New York and, I mean, she was laughable at first. But she stayed with it and, slowly, carefully, ...
Roy Scheider
[on Peter Fonda] In The Trip (1967/II) I started to get fed up. I was fed up because Peter Fonda was a star and I wasn`t. And Peter couldn`t act. I`m sorry, man, he just can`t act. He never bothered to sit and learn. He never studied. And he just kind of ...
Bruce Dern

Bruce Dern
I look like my father. To this day, when I walk past a mirror and see my reflection in it, my first impression is: That`s my father. There is a strong Fonda look.
Henry Fonda
You know who helped me a lot? Jane Fonda. She said, Look at how many times I`ve been up and I`ve been down. So don`t worry about anything.
Melanie Griffith
Well you`re talking about a long career, a lot of movies, a lot of stars. I guess working with Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn was a great privilege.
Mark Rydell
People ask me from time to time what it was like growing up with Henry Fonda as my father. I say, Ever see Fort Apache? He was like Colonel Thursday.
