Jane Fonda said that this was the happiest moment of her life. She said she was praying obsessedly for her father to win which he did. She actually bought the rights of this movie so that her father can win an Oscar. She writes it down beautifully in her book My Life So Far.
@@rhondabitler2461 What's wrong with that? What matters is that she made it happen for her dad. Yeah they butted heads & didn't see eye to eye at the times but who doesn't with their parents.
@@Onehappyworlds I didn't say anything about butting heads with your parents. I said she would take credit for it. That's just my observation of her personality.
Sidney Poitier did receive that kind of standing ovation in 2002 and it was for his lifetime body of work in the movies and what he did for his people cannot be overstated , but it was an emotional even before he spoke but then his most elegant magnificent speech that ever was on that night or any night!
Last night I watched “On Golden Pond” for the umpteenth time when it was offered on You Tube. So it was especially meaningful to see this video offered for me to view on You Tube tonight. I am 87. My husband will be 90 in February. We’ve been married over 67 years. The first time I’d seen “On Golden Pond,” I’d thought 80 and late 60’s were OLD. Now I have 2 sons in their 60s, and Norman and Ethel don’t seem so old to me.
I remember watching this in 1982. I was 6 years old then and this was my Father's favorite movie of all time. My Dad died of cancer in November of 2021. We were always very close. Thank'you, Jane Fonda. This was an incredible gift you gave to your father and it did get him his Oscar. You were way too humble at the time. This film was also an incredible gift to my Father and myself. It's one of my favorite films.
And perhaps , a little guilt ? The reconciliation at the dock , is very sweet.

@@00lilyvonshtupp apparently they took a lot of time to be in good terms with each other, so definitely there's an element of guilt there. Is quite bittersweet
Henry Fonda's performance was beautiful and perfect! At the time not much was known about dementia/Alzheimer's. The film made me cry as a teenager at the time it came out. It still makes me cry now in my 50s with a mother with dementia. Just a wonderful movie and performances.
I feel the exact same ways u did , when I was a teen and now in my 40s. U wrote your lovely comment in a simple yet beautiful and heartfelt way. So remember, u r not alone in your emotionally powerful lifelong relationship with this movie!!😘👍...for me it’s almost like I’m watching my dad and I as we continue on with our lifetime bond full of too much pain/misunderstandings-yet luckily, always tons of love to keep us very very close. I wish u all the peace and luck and good wishes in the world as u (I can tell) try to bring comfort to your mother. Wherever she is, she never forgot u or your great love for her...and that she loved u back just as much!!🍀💕😊🌸
Reading your comment, specifically when you write, _"with a mother with dementia",_ it occurred to me that dementia sounds a little like Demi, as in Demi Moore, as in ex-Mrs. Bruce Willis, as in the actor who has dementia. Odd, isn't it?
Henry Fonda knocked it out of the park, again, in On Golden Pond. His portrayal of an older man opposite Katharine Hepburn is a master class in acting. Well deserved.
Henry Fonda richly deserved to win the Oscar for On Golden Pond; it was also the culmination of an extraordinary career on stage and screen with memorable performances in Ford's Young Mr. Lincoln and The Grapes Of Wrath, Wellman's The Ox Bow Incident, Lumet's Twelve Angry Men and Ford and Leroy's Mister Roberts.
@@christiandupuis3261 Took the words right out of my mouth. Good shout. I tell you christian, having watched once upon a time in the west over 200 times, being my favorite film of all time, there are two truly remarkable inputs from Henry in that film which demonstrate his incredible acting skills,... And whilst they are two separate scenes, only one word in total is spoken!!! The first scene is when Harmonica tells Frank he will never be a business man like Morton. Frank displays vulnerability and simply asks 'why?'. He totally immerses himself in character, realising he is a hired gun, albeit a good one, and the truth hits home. The second scene is the last two seconds of his role, indeed, his character's life. He has lost the shoot out, he cannot believe he has lost, and in his dying moments he simply HAS to know who the hell is Harmonica. As he takes his final breaths, with the harmonica unceremoniously shoved back in his mouth, he rolls his eyes and nods slightly whilst in pain, with almost a half smile in acknowledgement and understanding of the long overdue payback. All with a roll of the eyes. Two scenes, one word. You were right to ensure O.U.A.T.I.T.W should be acknowledged when reviewing his awesome catalogue. Thank you for that.
Can you imagine that Mr. Fonda's nomination for On Golden Pond was only his second. He was nominated for The Grapes of Wrath in 1940. He was not nominated for Mr. Roberts or Young Mr. Lincoln or Drums Along The Mohawk or The Oxbow Incident, or 12 Angry Men. He still is the best Abe Lincoln ever. So glad he finally got his award.
Jane lost in her catagory...but getting to accept on behalf of your dad for a film that helped to rekindle a troubled relationship....Jane still won!!!
Jane Fonda gave the most touching, Heart Felt Speech that I have ever heard at the Oscars. Decades Over Due for the Great Acting Work of Henry Fonda. I admire Jane so much. I don't care about her hair. She is Beautiful and One Great Actress!!!
In writing “I don’t care about her hair,” you actually demonstrated the opposite. Ironically, you did care about her hair by saying you didn’t. You betrayed your preoccupation about her hair by vowing you didn’t care about it. I find that endlessly fascinating.
What a heartfelt speech. My parents are both in their 70s now and I don't know where the time has gone. For Jane Fonda to keep her head together knowing the significance of that moment is incredible. I think I would have fallen apart before managing to say a word.
I just watched it, too. He absolutely blew me away, from his way of speaking to to every movement he made, how he stood, how his eyes filled with tears in the scene where he tells Ethel he got lost in the woods, his absolutely moving words during his heart attack, and how he hid his face under the hat to not show Jane his tears. But the best scene was with Billy on the boat before the accident, when he said he was alright but his eyes told the sad truth. Overall a performance that completely captured every needed emotion to a t and filled the character with enough life to be both touching and believable. Holy shit, was he great. Along with Paul Newman, the only actor i can come up with to turn his last performance into his best.
I only watched the movie to see Henry and Katharine. Both talented veterans who earned their stripes with such tremendous talent. Also, he is a hero, being a World War II veteran of the US Navy. God bless you, Mr. Fonda, you much deserved this Oscar!❤
No matter how good the part, when you are cast across from Kate Hepburn, you know its going to take a miracle to be seen and heard. It does not actually take a miracle, but it takes the performance of your life. Most of this movie I was watching Henry, was moved by Henry, and felt the bittersweet pride of feeling truly loved by others, while in cognitive and physical decline. It was stunning work.
I love that woman....she has an incredible heart! I can't recommend her autobiography enough. It was one of the best books I've ever read, and I've read a lot
Wow, what a list of nominees: Beatty, Fonda, Lancaster, Newman, and the the very funny Dudley Moore. This is the kind of calibre we lack in recent oscars.
I know I can look it up, but just for convenience, I wish Sissi had named what films these folks were nominated for. It would have added ten seconds on to the show.
The greatest actress of her generation accepting the Oscar on behalf of the greatest actor of HIS generation--and daughter and father, to boot. A special event, indeed.
@@JSOMERSETJSOMERSET That's debateable. I really like Diane too. They're both very gifted; Klute vs. Looking for Mr. Goodbar. Wow, that is a tough one. Barefoot in the Park and 9 to 5, vs Annie Hall and Love and Death. Ok, I think it may be too close to call. I guess, I just prefer Jane, but by a hair over Ms. Keaton.
Henry Fonda was part of the best era of Hollywood when they were real stars and not all hyped up cardboard cutouts like most of them today. Not all, but most. That's all I have to say about that.
I just watched this movie. It was exquisite. I am not a big fan of Jane Fonda but she was incredible here accepting on behalf of her father. I loved how she spoke for him, it was so obvious that all she cared about was representing for him. It was truly moving and eloquent. BRAVO!
Wow! Such a loving speech. Jane Fonda, you are such a loving daughter. I especially like the first part, 'Oh Dad' and the last where you say 'We're coming over with this right away.' It was very sad to lose Henry Fonda. But the more than bright side is he passed away with a great victory. R.I.P. Henry.
Henry fonda was an is Great actor love watching his films his acting an dialogues BRILLIANT anytime fondas film comes on T.v always like watching his films.
This is one of the best Speeches in Oscar history. I am so touched and moved by Henry and Jane Fonda's performance in this movie. Kate Hepburn is a TREASURE!! Henry Fonda was only nominated for 1 other Oscar for Grapes of Wrath. I was shocked that in his long career there was only 1 nomination. I also loved his performance in Roots, The Next Generations. Going back years, I loved his performance in 12 Angry Men and The Boston Strangler. Peter Fonda's Easy Rider was a Hippie Classic. I loved Bridget Fonda's small part in The Godfather Part 3. Jane is someone I admired so much as a Actress and a Human Being. First Film: Tall Story with Anthony Perkins, a long list of great performances, 2 Oscars, my favorites: Klute and Coming Home. A Great Lady. I call her Lady Jane because she is like Royalty to me.
I just watched this incredible movie, On Golden Pond..oh dear, I think it was one of his greatest accomplishments in acting ..I really do..I wish him peace, I wish him rest..and I thank this amazing man for all the outstanding decades of acting in movies..thank you sir where ever you are..God's loving grace be with you always..🙏❤
Adding to my post, I am watching this incredible touching movie again and will never ever get tired of doing so ..I say again how so very very special this amazing movie is to me..the acting, oh my goodness, the brilliant acting is the best of the best! The awards given to Mr. Fonda and Ms. Hepburn was so deserving in every way..may you two continue to rest in the arms of our heavenly sweet Jesus 🙏🕊️♥️🙏❤️🙏
Jane bought the property of on golden pond so that she could give her dad a role to possibly win an Oscar . What a wonderful daughter. If you have a father and daughter who have an impasse one would expect the parent to reach out and make amends . The lesson of on golden pond is that the responsibility lies on the shoulders of the one who is capable of reaching out to start the reconciliation . Instead of waiting for a lifetime Jane reached out and has that memory that no amount of oscars or money can replace. Yes Henry won but Jane won even more . She did right by a father that had a hard time expressing his emotion .
This was the first Oscars ceremony I remember watching any part of. My grandma tried to explain to me who Henry Fonda was, as this was literally the end of his career and life. When I later saw "On Golden Pond" on television, it resonated with me, because Fonda's character (Norman Thayer) had a relationship with the boy in the movie that was reminiscent of my relationship to my own curmudgeonly (to put it nicely) grandfather. Later, of course, I saw many of Henry Fonda's films (and Jane's and Peter's) and understood his incredible screen presence and authenticity. A well-deserved award.
I love on golden pond. I am not surprised by his win. My favorite scene is when his character is lost in the woods. When he made it he needed to see his wife's pretty face he would still be him. When we are lost I hope we all have the one we can run to especially now
He should have won for 12 Angry Men, My Darling Clementine, Ox-Bow Incident, Mr. Roberts and about ten more film. It all just shows much about this award. It is too unfair.
To this day I watch this movie And one of my favorite parts is the very beginning when the piano starts it brings back so many many memories. This movie I can feel and smell the past so much just by watching it and i really don't know why but thank you to all that made it.
Great actor Henry And Jsne a brilliant actor too she had a hard time with him Love u Jane going to c u in Bookclub Wednesday here in Australia 🌟🌟💖 You sweetie xx
Reading the comments- this was Mr. Fonda's last award-or almost before he died- they all did a great job and was truly a moment to remember- what a moment for him to have his daughter accept the award and give such a beautiful speech- her dress was amazing, he lived long enough to see it-and all ppl can comment on is her big hair?? IT WAS THE STYLE THE PEOPLE-!! GOOD GRIEF!! DO YOU REMEMBER WITCHES OF EASTWICK....??? HAVE SOME RESPECT. .
Fonda has the greatest gap between first and second Oscar nominations - 41 years. Shocking that he was not nominated more often for his performances in MISTER ROBERTS, 12 ANGRY MEN, FAIL SAFE and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.
Funny enough, Katharine Hepburn holds the record for the longest time span between the first and last Oscar nominations, at 48 years. She was first nominated (and won) in 1934 and received her last nomination (and win) in 1982. Out of 12 nominations, she won 4 times.
I lived in a little town in AZ. There was one theater and two drive in theaters. If you wanted to see a movie, you had to watch what was playing or drive to Tucson. My best friend and I went to see this movie. It was hard to watch because you didn't want to think about your grandparents dying. We were just 12 at the time. But, I loved the part where she called him her night and shinning armor. She adlibed that line. I didn't know he won an Oscar for his role as Norman.
My sister and I were on the sidewalk across the street from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion that day. We're watching the limos and I will never forget this: a station wagon pulled up. We all see this woman slide out from the back of the station wagon wearing a beautiful gown. Jesus Chris it was Jane Fonda wearing the dress you see here! I would LOVE to be able to ask her why a station wagon?! It's the last thing we expected. So her 💕💕
I first seen the movie on Golden pond on video cassette in the late 1990's. It was a great movie. Henry Fonda definitely deserved the award for his role. It's too bad he was deceased by the time the award ceremony was happening.
It was actually at the beginning of an era of Big Hair 1981. Jane was sporting cutting edge styling she probably had to be talked into. K u spell Dynasty!?
I’d never seen that before..I was young but I heard Jane mention her father in the Vogue game with Lily Tomlin and Jane. Well both of those came full circle…love wonderfully actors 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
A well-deserved award for Henry Fonda for an unbelievable and an awesome acceptance speech by Jane. You can tell she did love her father, but weren't there some issues and problems in their relationship?
Henry Fonda was damn good in this picture, as he was in so many others, especially Grapes of Wrath. But Burt Lancaster was damn good in Atlantic City as well. At least he was nominated for his fine work.
My uncle's boyfriend was a doctor that saw Jane when she had a rash on Golden pond filmed in New Hampshire. Back in 1981 I believe Peace ✌️🕊️✌️ 1.22.2023
This is the only father and daughter Henry and Jane Fonda as they won the first and only Oscar of their movie called On Golden Pond as I am dedicating this Oscar winning film to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
All of the Best Actor Nominees of 1981 except for Dudley Moore have won at least 1 Oscar: Henry Fonda: On Golden Pond Paul Newman: The Color of Money Burt Lancaster: Elmer Gantry Warren Beatty: Reds
Had they been awarded for talent, Henry would`ve had at least five Oscars by then. The importance of this unfair award is greatly exaggerated, it's rarely given on merit. More often, as with Henry here, it's a catch-up.
Jane Fonda said that this was the happiest moment of her life. She said she was praying obsessedly for her father to win which he did. She actually bought the rights of this movie so that her father can win an Oscar. She writes it down beautifully in her book My Life So Far.
She would take credit for it as usual.

One of the best speeches ever & I luv Jane Fonda sad Henry died not long after
Back when they gave you the time for a proper speech. Nowadays they don't have more than 2 minutes and its annoying seeing people rushing it.
I think you are right.
I knowwww ughhh!!!! 🙄
They would have way more time without all of the added social commentary garbage throughout.
This was the first Oscars ceremony I remember watching any part of. My grandma tried to explain to me who Henry Fonda was, as this was literally the end of his career and life. When I later saw "On Golden Pond" on television, it resonated with me, because Fonda's character (Norman Thayer) had a relationship with the boy in the movie that was reminiscent of my relationship to my own curmudgeonly (to put it nicely) grandfather. Later, of course, I saw many of Henry Fonda's films (and Jane's and Peter's) and understood his incredible screen presence and authenticity. A well-deserved award.
Jane, you did wonderful......I feel your complete love..........
I love on golden pond. I am not surprised by his win. My favorite scene is when his character is lost in the woods. When he made it he needed to see his wife's pretty face he would still be him. When we are lost I hope we all have the one we can run to especially now
loveliest speech. she really honours all these people x
A long overdue win! He should have won for _The Grapes of Wrath_ for his remarkable performance.
He should have won for 12 Angry Men, My Darling Clementine, Ox-Bow Incident, Mr. Roberts and about ten more film. It all just shows much about this award. It is too unfair.
One of his best roles was The Wrong Man
To this day I watch this movie And one of my favorite parts is the very beginning when the piano starts it brings back so many many memories. This movie I can feel and smell the past so much just by watching it and i really don't know why but thank you to all that made it.
Great actor Henry And Jsne a brilliant actor too she had a hard time with him
Love u Jane going to c u in Bookclub Wednesday here in Australia 🌟🌟💖
You sweetie xx
Henry Fonda, was definitely proud of Jane Fonda after this
She looks like her father
@@megankumamoto3645 even sounds like him to in terms of line delivery
Loved the movie,
Well done Jane .
Your dad was the best Hollywood made.
One of my favourite actors of all time...You were Amazing.
Reading the comments- this was Mr. Fonda's last award-or almost before he died- they all did a great job and was truly a moment to remember- what a moment for him to have his daughter accept the award and give such a beautiful speech- her dress was amazing, he lived long enough to see it-and all ppl can comment on is her big hair?? IT WAS THE STYLE THE PEOPLE-!! GOOD GRIEF!! DO YOU REMEMBER WITCHES OF EASTWICK....??? HAVE SOME RESPECT.
.
Golden Pond was a flawless movie, a feel good, feel real, feel love movie.
I wish we had more of these.......
The actors today aren't fit to shine Henry Fonda's shoes.
Classic hollywood actors that will never be again. Today's actors don't hold a candle to them. Back when award shows were enjoyable to watch.
Wow it was great seeing those great stars from days gone by especially my favorite Burt Lancaster.
Fonda has the greatest gap between first and second Oscar nominations - 41 years. Shocking that he was not nominated more often for his performances in MISTER ROBERTS, 12 ANGRY MEN, FAIL SAFE and ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA.
* Once Upon A Time In The West
@@fabiencoze9829 Yes of course - sorry - my bad.
not everyone has 41 years to wait for the next round to come. His performance in Twelve Angry Men was absolutely outstanding.
Funny enough, Katharine Hepburn holds the record for the longest time span between the first and last Oscar nominations, at 48 years.
She was first nominated (and won) in 1934 and received her last nomination (and win) in 1982.
Out of 12 nominations, she won 4 times.
I lived in a little town in AZ. There was one theater and two drive in theaters. If you wanted to see a movie, you had to watch what was playing or drive to Tucson. My best friend and I went to see this movie. It was hard to watch because you didn't want to think about your grandparents dying. We were just 12 at the time. But, I loved the part where she called him her night and shinning armor. She adlibed that line. I didn't know he won an Oscar for his role as Norman.
My sister and I were on the sidewalk across the street from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion that day. We're watching the limos and I will never forget this: a station wagon pulled up. We all see this woman slide out from the back of the station wagon wearing a beautiful gown. Jesus Chris it was Jane Fonda wearing the dress you see here! I would LOVE to be able to ask her why a station wagon?! It's the last thing we expected. So her 💕💕
I can listen to her voice all day.
Not me
Can you IMAGINE a thank you speech longer than 30 seconds these days?!
A really beautiful speech.
Isn't she wonderful..I am so enjoying the 80 year old Jane playing alongside Lilly Tomlin in Grace and Frankie on Netflix.
I love them together on Grace and Frankie! This speech is beautiful!
Henry Fonda's performance was brilliant and excellent in On Golden Pond.
so nice to not have music ruin a nice acceptance speech. they should go back to this way
Amen.

They ought to.
I first seen the movie on Golden pond on video cassette in the late 1990's. It was a great movie. Henry Fonda definitely deserved the award for his role. It's too bad he was deceased by the time the award ceremony was happening.
Wrong.
Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn were very deserving winners. One of my favorite films.
Henry is The God of acting.
泣ける…😢仲直りも出来たし最高の瞬間❗☝️
omg that is seriously big hair!!!
borderline amateur for that time. #hotrollers :)
i love it
Jane would look great with any hairstyle! 😍
It was the eighties. That was pretty normal.
It was actually at the beginning of an era of Big Hair 1981. Jane was sporting cutting edge styling she probably had to be talked into. K u spell Dynasty!?
Fonda Rules.Greatest actor ever period!!
The whole movie just made everyone feel good!
I watch ON GOLDEN POND every CHRISTMAS. I makes me SMILE.. Some 32 years later.
Fantastic movie I never get tired of watching the movie
her speech was as fabulous as her big 80s hair
Jesus! Henry fonda, burt Lancaster, dudley Moore, Warren Beatty that's one tough category!
and Paul Newman
I’d never seen that before..I was young but I heard Jane mention her father in the Vogue game with Lily Tomlin and Jane. Well both of those came full circle…love wonderfully actors 🙏🏽🙋🏻♀️👍🏽Mia
I was a figure skater when I was a kid and I skated to the music from On Golden Pond. Brings back many memories for me.
I loved when she thanked herself 😭😂
People who have never been to New Hampshire will never understand how welcoming and sincere the people there are.
Sissy looked incredible that night, what a beauty
Henry Fond is the best male actor in my movie watching history.
A well-deserved award for Henry Fonda for an unbelievable and an awesome acceptance speech by Jane. You can tell she did love her father, but weren't there some issues and problems in their relationship?
Like in most families.
robert freedman - yep, her father was patriotic, a true American whereas, Jane was a traitor during the Vietnam war, aka Hanoi Jane
@@robertfreedman6651 Yes I think the troubled relationship was exaggerated to a degree. Look at the children of some others stars in comparasion.
It seemed like Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda had been working together forever in that movie. They were magical.
Jane Fonda shows so much gratitude
Henry didn't need anyone to help him with this. Wonderful and great actor. Very very good movie.
Henry Fonda was damn good in this picture, as he was in so many others, especially Grapes of Wrath.
But Burt Lancaster was damn good in Atlantic City as well. At least he was nominated for his fine work.
Dave Glo i loved Atlantic City and am also a fan of the great Lancaster.
@@lindas.martin2806 who is that on 1:41 ? handsome
My uncle's boyfriend was a doctor that saw Jane when she had a rash on Golden pond filmed in New Hampshire. Back in 1981 I believe
Peace ✌️🕊️✌️

Ohhhhh My...that hair! Why did we all think that looked so good?!?!
Jane is a wonderful speaker. I remember seeing this live.
"Why did we all think that looked so good?!?!" It's because we looked similar. ;-)
This is the only father and daughter Henry and Jane Fonda as they won the first and only Oscar of their movie called On Golden Pond as I am dedicating this Oscar winning film to my old school friends who are both sisters as I hope to see them both again very soon to Chris and Hester from Billyxxxxx
So beautiful and elegant stage those days
All of the Best Actor Nominees of 1981 except for Dudley Moore have won at least 1 Oscar:
Henry Fonda: On Golden Pond
Paul Newman: The Color of Money
Burt Lancaster: Elmer Gantry
Warren Beatty: Reds
Time long gone! Time when you are rewarded based on your talent, not based on how you look!
Had they been awarded for talent, Henry would`ve had at least five Oscars by then. The importance of this unfair award is greatly exaggerated, it's rarely given on merit. More often, as with Henry here, it's a catch-up.
I think this was the first and only time that I remember that the list of nominees was read without mentioning the picture they starred in.
💜MY LOVE TO YOU...JANE FONDA.💜YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION.💖
