During the next ten years, he made films which did not match the quality of his earlier roles. John Lennon wrote the song "She Said She Said" about Fonda, who told him "I know what it's like to be dead" following an LSD trip. It was not really successful, and MGM did not renew his contract in view of his high salary.

It was at this point that he began to experiment with hallucinogenic drugs. His first movie after returning from service in WWII was the 1945 production of Adventure. His first serious role was in the 1966 motorcycle film The Wild Angels (nowadays perhaps best known for its dialogue sampled by the Primal Scream recording Loaded). Army Air Force. Instead, he appeared in such teen fare as Tammy and the Bachelor. He was deeply grieved and joined the U.S. Kennedy in PT 109, but didn't get the role. Gable's marriage in 1939 to his third wife, actress Carole Lombard, was reportedly the happiest episode in his personal life, but it ended with her death in a plane crash in 1942.

Fonda tried out for the part of the young John F. In addition, Gable was one of the few actors to appear in three films that have won an Academy Award for Best Picture.

He attended the University of Omaha and joined the Omaha Community Playhouse, where many famous actors (including his father and Marlon Brando) got their starts. He is, however, best-known for his performance as Rhett Butler in the 1939 classic Gone With the Wind, which earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. Peter Fonda studied acting in Omaha, Nebraska, his father's home town. Gable won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his 1934 performance in the film It Happened One Night.

In the following years he acted in several pictures which soon made him become a megastar, earning the title of "King of Hollywood". Born in New York City, he is the son of actor Henry Fonda, the brother of actress Jane Fonda and the father of actress Bridget Fonda. He acted in small roles and returned to the theater, until in 1930 he finally signed a contract with MGM. Peter Henry Fonda (born February 23, 1939) is an American actor.
