39adamstrand:Frances Ford Seymour (April 14, 1908 – April 14, 1950) married Henry Fonda in Sept. 1936 and the couple had 2 children, Jane (born 1937) and Peter (born 1940).Frances suffered from mental illness and was committed to the Craig House Sanitarium for the Insane in early 1950. She came home for a brief visit in March and 12-year-old Jane refused to speak to her. Henry Fonda asked for a divorce and on her 42nd birthday, Frances killed herself at the sanitarium. Jane blamed herself for her mother’s death, and in her autobiography My Life so Far (2005), she wrote that she learned that her mother had been sexually abused as a child and believes that it contributed to her mother’s mental state. -- source link
