The Life of Old Hollywood Everyman Henry Fonda

In the early 1920s, he left Nebraska to attend the University of Minnesota. Like many young people of the time, he entered college without a clear path toward the career that would eventually define his life. At that point, acting had not yet become a serious ambition.

While at the university, he studied journalism and participated in student life, but his time there was relatively brief. He ultimately left college without completing a degree. The decision marked the end of his formal education and the beginning of a period where he searched for direction.
