BIOGRAPHY:

[no bio found]


TRIVIA:
  • Turned down the role of Oliver in _Love Story (1970)_ (qv), despite being offered 10% of the gross.
  • Broke his back twice in motorcycle accidents.
  • 'John Lennon (I)' (qv) wrote "She Said, She Said" about an acid trip he'd been on during which Fonda kept telling him, "I know what it's like to be dead, man".
  • Was arrested once for defacing a sign at a Denver airport that said, "Feed 'Jane Fonda' (qv) to the Whales".
  • At age 6, broke his back while attending boarding school.
  • Godfather of his daughter 'Bridget Fonda' (qv) is 'Larry Hagman' (qv).
  • According to a story in the book version of "The Beatles Anthology", John Lennon wrote the song "She Said, She Said" after meeting Peter at a party and listening to him go on and on about his near death experience in which he accidentally shot himself in the chest. The song lyric "I know what it's like to be dead" is supposedly what Peter kept telling everyone. John says he altered the song title and lyrics from "He Said" to "She Said" in order to hide the fact that he'd based the song on Peter.
  • Father-in-law of composer 'Danny Elfman' (qv).
