Wikipedia:Peer review/Henry Fonda/archive1

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I think it's grown from the ill-descript article it was to a potential featured article. Any suggestions for improvement? -- A Link to the Past 03:08, July 30, 2005 (UTC)

I read his New York Times obituary before reading this and after a hasty assessment I only found one error (or was he divorced 5 times?). Our biography compares well. Although we never do mention this incident which the Times refers to 2 times: "Mr. Fonda continued acting despite major illnesses. After a performance of Clarence Darrow in 1974 he collapsed from what doctors called total exhaustion, and a pacemaker was implanted in his chest because of a heart-rhythm disorder." lots of issues | leave me a message 09:27, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Both the Post and Times obits never mentioned this event from the Oxford American National Biography: "On 14 April 1950, while Fonda was still playing Roberts, his wife, who had placed herself in a sanatorium, committed suicide after it became clear that Fonda was seeing another woman named Susan Blanchard. Less than a year later, Fonda and Blanchard were married, and Fonda adopted her daughter Amy." Should it be included? lots of issues | leave me a message 12:43, 31 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
