Jane Fonda

0 Comments



Born in New York City of legendary screen star Henry Fonda and New York socialite Frances Seymour Brokaw, Jane Seymour Fonda was destined early to an uncommon and influential life in the limelight.


Although she initially showed little inclination in following her father's trade, she was prompted by Joshua Logan to appear with her father in the 1954 Omaha Community Theatre production of The Country Girl.


Her interest in acting grew after meeting Lee Strasberg in 1958 and joining the Actors Studio. Her screen debut in Tall Story (1960) marked the beginning of a highly successful and respected acting career highlighted by 2 Academy Awards for her performance in Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978) and 5 Oscar nominations for Best Actress in: They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969), Julia (1977), Morning After, The (1986) and On Golden Pond (1981) which was the only film she made with her father.


Jane Fonda's professional success contrasted with her personal life, often ladden with scandal and controversy. Her appearance in several risqué movies (including Barbarella (1968) ) by then husband Roger Vadim was followed by what was to become Jane Fonda's most debated and controversial period: her espousal of anti-Establishment causes and especially her anti-War activities during the Vietnam War. Her political involvement continued with fellow activist and husband Tom Hayden in the 70s and early 80s. In the 80s Jane fonda started the aerobic exercise craze with the publication of the "Jane Fonda's Workout Book". She remarried with broadcasting czar Ted Turner in 1991.
