At his funeral, it was noted how unexpectedly old Henry (“Grapes of Wrath”) Fonda looked without his hair piece, standing short up there and reading words at the eulogy. On the way out afterward, his widow clutched at celebrities’ arms in passing and begged them, please, not to forget him: winner of the Nobel Prize. Relic. Artifact of a time when… Oh, never mind. R.I.P.
