Legendary Hollywood actor Peter Fonda passes away

Legendary Hollywood actor Peter Fonda passed away at the age of 79 due to respiratory problems arising from lung cancer with which he battled for a long time.  He is survived by his sister actress Jane Fonda and children Bridget and Justin.  Son of Hollywood great Henry Fonda, Peter is known for a number of classics including ‘Easy Rider’, ‘The Hired Hand’ (which he also directed), ‘Open Season’ and in later years ‘Ghost Rider’, ‘Wild Hogs’, ‘3:10 to Yuma’ and others.

Jane Fonda with whom Peter lived in his last days has emotionally shared to Deadline “I am very sad. He was my sweet-hearted baby brother, the talker of the family. I have had beautiful alone time with him these last days. He went out laughing.”
