Henry Fonda enlisted in the Navy, where he was a Quartermaster on the USS Satterlee, a Navy Destroyer. He enlisted during WWII because he didn’t want to fight “a fake war in a studio.” Before he enlisted, he had helped raise funds for Britain’s coastal defense. Fonda served in the Navy for three years.

After his Naval service, he starred in movies like 12 Angry Men, My Name is Nobody, On a Golden Pond, and more. Before he was in the Navy, his only film credit was The Grapes of Wrath. Fun fact: he is the father of actress Jane Fonda.
