Edgar Wright, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Rob Reiner, Ava DuVernay, Kathy Griffin and Lawrence O'Donnell were among the Hollywood figures who remembered the 'Easy Rider' actor on Thursday.
On her Twitter account, comedian Kathy Griffin told a story of Fonda approaching her 10 to 15 years ago and telling her "keep at it" and "keep doing [her] thing, man." "I loved it when he would call me “man”. I did! Every time I had the chance to run into him, he was the same guy. Not an ever-changing chamaeleon like so many Hollywood folks. Unbelievably giving and kind and comfortable," she wrote.
"Peter Fonda was one of the oddest people I’ve ever met, and honestly, I think he’d be thrilled to know I remembered him that way. What a life," actor and writer Mara Wilson wrote. DuVernay, meanwhile, tweeted a picture of a dinner with Fonda. "Our photo theme was 'crazy,' but my takeaway from dinner seated next to the legendary @IAmFonda was 'kind' and 'wise,'" she wrote.
