The U.S. Postal Service issued this sheet of Henry Fonda self-adhesive 37¢ stamps on May 20, 2005 (what would have been his 100th birthday) in Los Angeles, CA, - the 11th issuance in the Legends of Hollywood series. The stamp portrait is by Drew Struzan of Pasadena, CA - based on a black and white photo of Fonda taken by Frank Powolny in 1941; and the sketch to the right of the stamps shows Fonda in his most iconic role, that of farmer Tom Joad in The Grapes of Wrath.


Also included on the stamp sheet is the following short biography: "HENRY FONDA (1905-1982) was noted for his naturalness and sincerity in stage roles and on the screen. Effective in comedic or dramatic roles, he typically played thoughtful men of integrity. In a career spanning nearly 50 years, he won many honors, including a Tony Award in 1948 for his work in the Broadway production of Mister Roberts and the Academy Award for best actor in 1982 for On Golden Pond."
