Listen closely for the loons.

Their calls help frame the Thayers’ summer on Golden Pond. Like Norman and Ethel, the loons return, remain together and eventually watch their young leave home. They aren’t merely part of the scenery—they quietly reflect the family at the center of the story.

Golden Pond is fictional, but the beautiful lake seen in the movie is real.

Although the story is set in Maine, filming took place on Squam Lake in New Hampshire. The lake house was altered for the production, and the owner liked the renovations so much that they were allowed to remain.

Despite their long careers and many mutual friends, Henry Fonda and Katharine Hepburn had never met before working together on On Golden Pond.

On their first day of filming, Hepburn gave Fonda a “lucky” hat that had belonged to her longtime companion Spencer Tracy. Fonda wore the hat in the movie.

The father-daughter story behind the movie was nearly as personal as the one onscreen.

Jane Fonda purchased the film rights specifically for her father, Henry Fonda, to play Norman. The two then portrayed Chelsea and Norman—a daughter and father struggling to understand one another.

After decades as one of Hollywood’s most respected actors, Henry Fonda won his first competitive Academy Award for playing Norman Thayer.

Norman is sarcastic, stubborn and often difficult—but beneath all of that is a man struggling with age, fear and the possibility of losing the life he loves.

Ethel remains one of the story’s most beloved characters: spirited, patient, playful and much stronger than she first appears.
