Board of Trustees Film Series
Henry Fonda (Trustee 1979–82)
This film is presented as part of our Board of Trustees Film Series. In 1971 Norton Simon married Academy Award–winning actress Jennifer Jones. When the Norton Simon Museum opened a few years later, some familiar names in Hollywood were appointed to its board of trustees. In honor of the Museum’s 50th anniversary, enjoy a series of films selected from the extraordinary creative output of some of those trustees. Presented on select Friday evenings from May to July.
