How Fonda and Sutherland worked together

#1 Best Overall
According to Fonda’s reported account, the tour performed for “60,000 active duty soldiers, sailors, and marines” in Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines, and Japan. That number is the figure in her description; it should not be read as an independently verified attendance total. The Los Angeles Times coverage reported the figure and the tour context.
