Tim Matheson says working alongside Henry Fonda early in his career turned into an education that extended far beyond acting.
During an appearance on the Still Here Hollywood podcast with Steve Kmetko on Monday, August 3, the actor, 78, reflected on filming the 1968 family comedy Yours, Mine and Ours, where he played one of Fonda's children alongside screen icon Lucille Ball.
While Ball often retreated to her trailer, Fonda stayed near the set between takes, he recalled.
"You had a chair, you stayed on the set, you know, and you just stayed until you were called," explained the Animal House star. "Henry was trying to quit smoking, so he was doing needlepoint."
Fonda's technique for quitting cigarettes had some logic to it. According to smokefree.gov, one way to manage cravings is to "keep your hands busy."

The Toronto Blue Jays are trying to get back on track after a disappointing start to the season. Just a few months ago, they were competing in the World Series; now they find themselves outside of a playoff spot.
The starting rotation has been dealing with injuries for much of the year, though several key arms are nearing returns.
“The Blue Jays are getting dangerously close to a run of “good news” on the pitching front. In 2026, that still feels so unfamiliar. It was Max Scherzer’s turn in the Buffalo Bisons’ rotation Friday night, the middle man in a string of rehab starts that featured Dylan Cease on Thursday and ends with another Cy Young winner in Shane Bieber on Saturday,” MLB.com’s Keegan Matheson wrote.
Even with those reinforcements on the way, there are still rumors that Toronto could pursue Tarik Skubal.
