about
Peter Henry Fonda (February 23, 1940 – August 16, 2019) was an American actor. Peter Fonda released a 45rpm-single "November Night" written by Gram Parsons, with a cover of Donovan's "Catch the Wind" on the B-side, for the Chisa label and produced by Hugh Masekela. "November Night" is also on the Nuggets compilation "Where the Action Is!". He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for Easy Rider (1969), and the Academy Award for Best Actor for Ulee's Gold (1997). For the latter, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor – Motion Picture Drama. Fonda also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor – Series, Miniseries or Television Film for The Passion of Ayn Rand (1999). He was the son of Henry Fonda, younger brother of Jane Fonda, and father of Bridget and Justin Fonda (by first wife, Susan Brewer, stepdaughter of Noah Dietrich). Fonda was a part of the counterculture of the 1960s. Fonda's first counterculture-oriented film role was as a biker in Roger Corman's B movie, The Wild Angels (1966). Fonda originally was to support George Chakiris, but graduated to the lead when Chakiris revealed he could not ride a motorcycle, Fonda helped name his character "Heavenly Blues", with Bruce Dern, Nancy Sinatra and Diane Ladd also appearing in the film. In the film, Fonda delivered a "eulogy" at a fallen Angel's funeral service. This was sampled by Psychic TV on their 1988 LP recording, "Jack the TAB". It was later sampled in the Primal Scream
