In some families, the girls resemble their dad, the boys their mom. It’s Jane Fonda who inherited her father Henry’s flinty screen persona. Peter, softer and seemingly less driven, had a high old time and, after achieving dopester icon status in The Wild Angels and Easy Rider, relaxed into a semi-retirement from meaningful screen roles. His work as Ulee the beekeeper in Victor Nunez’s 1997 family drama earned him a Golden Globe, a New York Film Critics Circle award and an Oscar nomination. It also reminded audiences of what a precise and principled actor Peter Fonda could be. Just like dad.
