Henry Fonda older that Jack Elam by
15 years. Must have been odd playing Jack's son in law.
shareNot to mention, father and daughter were the same age
shareHey Zombienut,
Yes, Elam and O'Hara were both the same age, and Fonda was older than both by 15 years as you noted. However, the ages of the characters these actors played all looked pretty convincing. Jack Elam looked old enough to be O'Hara's grandfather. Fonda did not look that much older than O'Hara. Yep, the real life age differences were remarkable, but the on film appearances seemed credible to me.
Best wishes,
