Peter Fonda, who co-wrote, produced and starred in the classic 1969 road movie Easy Rider, has died aged 79
Although Fonda never achieved the status of his father or even his older sister Jane, the impact of the psychedelic road trip movie Easy Rider was enough to cement his place in popular culture.
He went on to star in and direct The Hired Hand in 1971, among other films. He earned a second Oscar nomination, this time for best actor, for his portrayal of a Vietnam veteran and widowed beekeeper in the 1997 drama Ulee's Gold. Reacting to US immigration policies which saw migrant children separated from their parents at the border, he tweeted"we should rip" Mr Trump's son"from his mother's arms" and"put him in a cage with paedophiles".Tributes poured in. His sister Jane, 81, said in a statement:"I am very sad. He was my sweet-hearted baby brother. The talker of the family.
