Peter Fonda dead

Peter Fonda was the coolest guy I never met.


I first fell in love with Fonda’s cool persona in the movie ‘Dirty Mary and Crazy Larry’ co-staring Susan George (ola la!), also Adam Roarke, Vic Morrow, Roddy McDowall, Kenneth Tobey, and a bunch of other known actors.

From there I worked my way backwards through Easy Rider, The Hired Hand, The Wild Angels, and the list goes on with 115 movies to his acting credit. Fonda was working on his 116th movie, Skate God, but I don’t know where they are in the production of that one. The movie is slated to be released in July 2020, which stars Chloe Bridges as Azura, Peter Fonda as Skylar, and skateboard legend Tony Hawk has a role in the movie, and plays a character named Gunnar.

Peter Fonda was born on February 23, 1940. Son of actor Henry Fonda and mother Frances Ford Seymour, a Canadian-born American socialite. She was the second wife of actor Henry Fonda. Peter is survived by his children Bridget (actress) and Justin. He is also the younger brother of actress/activist Jane Fonda.

Peter Fonda will be missed but forever remembered on the silver screen. R.I.P. Peter Fonda- ” Yeah, I’m, I’m hip about time. But I just gotta go.”
