Stars:  Katharine Hepburn, Henry Fonda, Jane Fonda

Katharine Hepburn at 74 and Henry Fonda at 76 are epic in this movie.  Jane Fonda at 44 looks amazing. 

Henry passed away the following year.  Henry had once studied acting with Dorothy Brando, mother of Marlon Brando.  At 76, he was the oldest person to win a best actor Oscar.  He and his daughter Jane Fonda were the first father-daughter couple to be Oscar-nominated the same year (1982).  At the time of his Oscar win, Fonda was too ill to attend the award ceremony. Instead, his daughter Jane accepted the honor for him. "My father is so happy….Me and all the grandchildren are coming over with [the award] right away!" she told the audience.

Katharine Hepburn holds the Guiness World Record as the only movie star to win four Academy Awards, all for her leading roles in Morning Glory (1933), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967), The Lion in Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981).  In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her the top American screen legend of all time.  In the 1990s, Katharine Hepburn developed a progressive neurological disease, but this did not keep her from keeping up an active lifestyle in her Connecticut hometown and even from acting in select roles. Her last Hollywood film credit came in 1994, more than 60 years after she made her memorable debut in A Bill of Divorcement. Katharine Hepburn died on June 29, 2003, at the age of 96 in the same house in which she had grown up. "Life is hard," she once said. "After all, it kills you."

Jane had long wanted to work with her father in hopes of repairing their strained relationship, and achieved this goal when she purchased the screen rights to On Golden Pond (1981) specifically for her father. 

This is a must see for me, evey two years or so.  Emotive and powerful it moves me everytime. 

Run out and go see it.
