Sir Henry Merrivale (known to those close to him as H.M.) is a fictional amateur detective / barrister / government operative, created by mystery author John Dickson Carr under the pseudonym of Carter Dickson. H.M. works for a dilapidated espionage department in Westminster, but spends much of his time aiding his friend Chief Inspector Masters in puzzling cases which seem to be impossible. From a fraudulent medium killed in a shed with its door locked on both sides, barred windows, and no footprints in the mud around it all next to a haunted house; to a stabbing done by an apparently invisible killer and weapon in front of witnesses at a French chateau where a master thief is hiding; to defending a young man found in an ostensibly locked and sealed room with a man stabbed by an arrow which apparently only he could have done; and even figuring out if and how a mentalist could kill two people just by thinking them to death without a scratch; H.M.'s cases are baffling but all have a sensible explanation behind them. H.M. often speaks in slang and strange oaths like "Lord love a duck!", enjoys reading pulp fiction, actively avoids being made a member of the House of Lords, and always wears a ridiculous top hat.

He is known for breaking with existing literary forms and developing a new sort of "novel" that is a mixture of novel, autobiography, social criticism, philosophical reflection, surrealist free association, and mysticism, one that is distinctly always about and expressive of the real-life Henry Miller and yet is also an imaginative construct. His most characteristic works of this kind are Tropic of Cancer, Tropic of Capricorn, and Black Spring. He also wrote travel memoirs and essays of literary criticism and analysis.He was played by Fred Ward in the 1990 movie Henry & June, and Rip Torn in the 1970 film adaptation of Tropic of Cancer.

Throughout six decades in Hollywood, Fonda cultivated a strong, appealing screen image in such classics as The Ox-Bow Incident, Mister Roberts, and 12 Angry Men. Later, Fonda moved toward both more challenging and lighter roles in such epics as Once Upon a Time in the West and family comedies like Yours, Mine and Ours (with Lucille Ball).He was the patriarch of a family of famous actors, including daughter Jane Fonda, son Peter Fonda, granddaughter Bridget Fonda, and grandson Troy Garity.In 1999, he was named the sixth Greatest Male Star of All Time by the American Film Institute.
