Had he been a Communist, do you think he would have worked through the 1950s?

Re: Was he a communist??

Fonda was absent from the screen in the years 1949 to 1955 when he returned for MISTER ROBERTS. No he was not a communist, but he was probably an opponent of the HUAC.

Re: Was he a communist??

Fonda was not a communist. In the 40s and 50s, uptight conservatives decided that people helping others were communists. Even today you hear people throw the word "communist" around without actually knowing what it means. It's a buzzword politicians use to appeal to others who don't know anything.
