Best known for playing iconic heroes, Fonda worked with some of the greatest directors of his time, including John Ford (Young Mr. Lincoln, The Grapes of Wrath, My Darling Clementine and Mister Roberts), Alfred Hitchcock (The Wrong Man) and Sidney Lumet (12 Angry Men and Fail-Safe). He also took a convincing turn as a villain in director Sergio Leone's Once Upon a Time in the West (1969).
