Henry Fonda – United States Navy

Henry Fonda already had a successful Hollywood career when he enlisted in the Navy during World War II. He served for three years and was awarded a Bronze Star Medal. He took a break from his acting career during his time in the army and attended parties instead. When he returned on Broadway, he won a Tony Award for his role in Mister Roberts—a comedy about the Navy. Fonda, unfortunately, died due to heart disease in 1982. He also reportedly suffered from prostate cancer but this was not the cause of his death.
