WATCH: Jane Fonda talks in-depth about her new documentary, the men in her life and so much more

I had read the cover story on Jane Fonda in this week’s issue of People Magazine and thought it was pretty good.

But the entire video from which the article is based in simply a knockout. Fonda’s life is fascinating and her journey towards understanding her past and herself can be helpful to us all.

The two-time Academy Award winner opens up about being shaped by her mother’s suicide, the men who defined her younger years, the political activism that invigorated her spirit, and about the revealing new documentary that pulls back the curtain on it all.

Kudos to People Editorial Director Jess Cagle for conducting such a meaningful conversation.
