Happy 85th birthday to Jane Fonda!
The remarkable Jane Fonda is marking her 85th birthday today and she does so as busy and engaged as ever in her acting and her activism which in recent years has focused on climate change. Her book, What Can I Do?: The Truth About Climate Change and How to Fix It, was released two years ago.
The seventh and final season of her Grace and Frankie series with Lily Tomlin streamed this year and she has two new films coming out in 2023: 80 For Brady with Tomlin, Sally Field and Rita Moreno and Book Club: The Next Chapter with Diane Keaton, Candice Bergen and Mary Steenbergen.
She and Tomlin, who co-starred in 9 to 5more than 40 years ago, have also filmed Moving On about old friends reconnect at a funeral and decide to revenge on the widower who messed with them decades before.
Miss Fonda was asked in 2018 when the best time of her remarkable life was.
Was it when she first became a movie star in the 1960s and was in such films as Barefoot in the Park, Cat Ballou and Barbarella? Or the 1970s when she won Oscars for Klute and Coming Home and starred in Julia and The China Syndrome?
Then there’s the 1980s when she teamed with Dolly and Lily and starred in 9 to 5, won an Emmy for The Dollmaker, produced and co-starred in On Golden Pond, was Oscar-nominated for The Morning After, and launched her hugely successful workout business.
Or was it after her 10 year marriage to Ted Turner ended and she returned to films in 2005′s Monster-In-Law?
In the past few decades, Jane has worked constantly including on Broadway in 33 Variations (Tony nomination), and on television in The Newsroom (two Emmy nominations). Her other later films include Youth, Our Souls at Night, Georgia Rule, Fathers and Daughters, This is Where I Leave You,
It turns out that right now is the best time she says – and you believe her!
