The Fondas:
Henry, Jane, & Peter
TRIPLE EXPOSURE
Intertwined Sagas of Dysfunction, Tragedy, and Triumph
Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince
Focusing on their personal and cinematic traumas of the rebellious 1960s and Seventies, this is the second of a two-volume set which collectively celebrates the contributions to the 20th Century of THOSE FABULOUS FONDAS, Henry, Jane, & Peter. Available everywhere, worldwide, on Flag Day, 2023, it turns klieg lights on three emotionally intertwined mega-celebrities, two of them Oscar winners, who just happen to be part of the same dysfunctional and sometimes tragic family.
This, Volume Two, was produced in association with Volume One (1905-1960; available now, see below). Volume One (Henry Fonda, He Did It His Way) covers Henry's origins in Depression-era Nebraska, his rise to fame, his complicated dynamics with other celebrities, and his middle-aged years navigating his passion for acting with the baffling business realities of Hollywood.
Together, this Two-Volume set gives the clearest, most detailed overview of "Those Fabulous Fondas" ever published.

About the Author:
“Darwin Porter is the master of guilty pleasures. There is nothing like reading him for passing the hours. He is the Nietzsche of Naughtiness, the Goethe of Gossip, the Proust of Pop Culture. Porter knows all the nasty buzz anyone has ever heard whispered in dark bars, dim alleys, and confessional booths. And lovingly, precisely, and in as straightforward a manner as an oncoming train, his prose whacks you between the eyes with the greatest gossip since Kenneth Anger. Some would say better than Anger.” (as quoted from Alan W. Petrucelli’s THE ENTERTAINMENT REPORT at Examiner.com).
Porter began his career writing about politics and the entertainment industry for Knight Newspapers and The Miami Herald. Today, he’s one of the most prolific biographers in the world. His portraits of Marilyn Monroe, Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, Howard Hughes, John and Jackie Kennedy, Paul Newman, Merv Griffin, Steve McQueen, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Katharine Hepburn, and Michael Jackson have generated widespread reviews and animated radio and blogsite commentaries worldwide. Some of his biographies have been serialized to millions of readers in The Sunday Times of London and The Mail on Sunday.
Porter is also the well-known original author of many editions of The Frommer Guides, a respected travel guidebook series that’s among the most prominent and well-respected in the world.
