Jane Fonda booking
Henry’s daughter was no typical showbiz child. Oscar nods proved her talent, while her outspoken
beliefs ruffled Hollywood’s feathers. The turbulent life of the aerobics queen. Born on 21 December
1937, in New York City, New York, Jane Fonda attended Vassar College, left to study art in Paris,
returned to New York to dabble in modelling, and then began a stage career. In 1955, she co-starred
with her father, Henry Fonda, in a production of ‘The Country Girl’. Her screen debut was in ‘Tall Story’
(1960). She had a brief phase as a sex kitten under the direction of her French filmmaker husband
Roger Vadim when he directed her in the science fiction spoof ‘Barbarella’. Her starring role in ‘They
Shoot Horses, Don’t They?’ in 1969 was the first time Fonda earned an Oscar nomination. After
divorcing Vadim, Fonda commenced an entirely new phase as a serious actress and committed
radical. She married the political militant Tom Hayden, took a lead in opposing the Vietnam War
(earning the nickname Hanoi Jane because she travelled to the Communist capital and posed for
pictures there), and became increasingly identified as a spokesperson on issues of civil rights and
women’s rights. At the same time she continued her screen career and won Oscars as best actress in
‘Klute’ (1971) and ‘Coming Home’ (1978). One of her finest moments came when she produced and
appeared in ‘On Golden Pond’ (1982), which gave her father his Oscar-winning role.
In the 1980s, she embarked on a new venture, becoming immensely successful with a series of
aerobic-exercise videos. Fonda would return to the world of fitness DVDs in 2010 with the launch of
two new titles ‘Jane Fonda: Prime Time Walkout’ and ‘Jane Fonda: Prime Time Fit & Strong’. She
divorced Hayden in 1989 and married media mogul Ted Turner (divorced 2001) and turned her
attention to environmental issues. In 2005, she published an autobiography, ‘My Life So Far’, and
returned to the film screen with ‘Monster-in-Law’. Fonda also played the title character in the film
‘Georgia Rule’ with Lindsay Lohan. Her latest movie project is the forthcoming indie film ‘Peace, Love
& Misunderstanding’, directed by ‘Driving Miss Daisy’s Bruce Beresford. Fonda plays the mother of
Catherine Keener, who the 73-year-old described as “talented and original”. Fonda is set to reprise the
role of a Beethoven scholar in the play ‘33 Variations’, a part for which she was nominated a Tony,
when she first took up the role on Broadway in 2009. On her website, janefonda.com, the actress
announced that the cast of the play received a standing ovation for the first official preview of ‘33
Variations’, and she quoted a reviewer, none other than Bridget Fonda’s mother-in-law, who wrote:
“Los Angeles is hungry for really good theatre and this was really good theatre.”
During a recent interview with Good Housekeeping magazine, Fonda described what she sees as a
“cult of perfection”, which she suggested has been created by the emergence of paparazzi. She
suggested that as a result of being constantly photographed, stars feel the need to constantly look
perfect, and young people are subsequently trying to emulate an unrealistic ideal, which she said is
“destructive”.
