Henry Fonda
Most Hollywood celebrities who served in the military made their way to fame only after their service. For Henry Fonda, he had it quite the other way. He was already an established and famous actor when he enlisted in the Navy. For three years he served as a quartermaster 3rd class on the destroyer USS Satterlee.

The first name that pops into our heads when we see his picture is “George Jefferson” and there’s a good reason for that. But before he had us laughing in “The Jeffersons”, he served in the U.S. Air Force. He served for four years in Japan and Korea, then went on to become a mailman in Philadelphia before making the big time.
