be different
tinues to assail the establishment on
screen and off. He does not see any
conflict between being a capitalist
while railing against the shortcom
ings of capitalism.
Fonda, unlike most other mil
lionaire actors, does not have a Be
verly Hills mansion, impressive of
fices and a coterie of flunkies.
He does own a $2 million yacht
anchored in Hawaii and his garage
houses a Cadillac El Dorado. But he
bought the yacht as a home, “a safe
place for my children to breathe
good air and know the sea.” The
Cadillac is an investment because
El Dorados are no longer made.
His permanent home is a 1872
homestead in Montana where he
grows apples, hay, clover, barley
and runs 40 head of cattle on a 118-
acre spread without assistance. He
and his second wife, Portia, do the
irrigating and fence mending. They
also grow their own vegetables.
Home is a log house 52 by 48 feet,
one of 14 buildings on the property.
Peter has offices in a rundown,
fly-blown Hollywood bungalow out
side which he flies the American
flag.
The tall 6-foot-2, slender Fonda
spends as little time as possible in
Southern California.
When Peter is in town he visits
with his father and sister and his
children by his first marriage, Jus
tin, 11, and Bridgit, 13.
In “Outlaw Blues’ Peter once
again portrays an anti-
establishmentarian, a jailbird who
becomes a country-western singer-
composer, but this time lightly and
with dashes of comedy.
Not since his first movie,
“Tammy and The Doctor” in 1962,
has Peter played an establishment
figure in necktie and jacket.
“It’s not something I designed,”
said Peter on a short visit to Hol
lywood. “They were films that came
my way, the guy on the outside
looking in.”
“Maybe the roles reflect my own
lifestyle but I’m now singing all the
way to the bank.”
Peter is a man of intense emo
tions yet manages to hang loose
when he is among friends. His alert
mind seizes on ideas quickly. His
business acumen is almost as highly
developed as his artistic endow
ment.
“Dad once told me I made more
money from Easy Rider than he
did in all 125 pictures he’s made in
his career. But I wear different hats
than Dad does, and he’s not as in
terested in the business end of
things as I am.
“As for the establishment, it
hasn’t shown me much originality in
breaking the patterns of life either
professionally or personally. So I go
my own way.”
But I am in favor of individual ac
countability and responsibility
without reliance on the govern
ment. Or does that sound like the
establishment?”
