June 2026 several of us are going to take on theĀ 30-Day Movie Scene Coach4aday Challenge. Each day we share a YouTube clip from a movie and explain what is intriguing about that particular scene. It is a simple daily activity of sharing a Movie Scene.
Love her or hate her, Jane Fonda was a major figure in American culture during the 1970s and 1980s. She and her father, Henry Fonda, remain the only father-daughter pair to win Academy Awards for leading acting roles. They appeared together in just one film, On Golden Pond. The scene I selected is an emotional father-daughter moment that ends with an unexpected BACKFLIP.
This month marks the 78th consecutive month that friendsĀ Jeff NeelonĀ andĀ Jaclyn DonovanĀ have taken on some sort of challenge. For June 2026 participants simply commit to sharing one movie scene from a film. Each scene just needs to be accompanied by a simple explanation on what is happening or why it was chosen. Hope you decide to join us or enjoy the clips we share.
Day 20-Backflip
The film is especially notable because it was the only time they shared the screen in a movie. Henry Fonda played Norman Thayer, an aging and cantankerous father, while Jane Fonda played his daughter, Chelsea. Their on-screen relationship mirrored some aspects of their real-life father-daughter relationship, which gave the film added emotional depth.
For most of her life, Chelsea felt that Norman was critical, distant, and difficult to please, leaving her longing for his approval. The backflip scene after she told him she wanted to be his friend got her some of that.
