Wishing a happy 78th birthday to Jane Fonda!

Jane Fonda, who turns 78 today, was asked recently 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 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 decade, Jane has worked constantly including on Broadway in 33 Variations (Tony nomination), and on television in The Newsroom (two Emmy nominations.

It turns out that right now is the best time she says – and you believe her!

She’s still making movies and is getting serious Oscar buzz for the current release Youth and next stars in Fathers and Daughters with Russell Crowe. Her Netflix series, Grace and Frankie, has been renewed for a second season and the two old friends are having a ball working together.

And since 2009, she has been in a relationship with record producer Richard Perry which really seems to agree with her.

I watched Jane with Tomlin and with Perry – and a bit with Miley Cyrus – during last month’s Los Angeles LGBT Center gala and the photographers went nuts over her, the audience went nuts over her, the other celebrities went nuts over her.

She just seems to be getting better and better.
