Jane Fonda: Six decades of lust, controversy and revolution on and off screen

By Bessie Yuill

 

'An almost feral alertness… like this bright blue attentiveness to everything around her': Jane Fonda in 1969 ( Kobal/Shutterstock )

 

Last year, Jane Fonda was arrested five times.

 

As her 82nd birthday approached, the actor was staging weekly climate crisis protests in Washington DC, accompanied by famous friends like Ted Danson and Joaquin Phoenix.

 

“I may be detained overnight,” she told reporters, as she was once again led away in handcuffs. “One night. Big deal.”

 

It wasn’t the first time she’d spent a night in jail.

A traitor to her own country during the Vietnam War and a disgrace in the eyes of all who served there.  Her unforgivable actions in Hanoi at the height of the War deserve our utter condemnation.

I remember her from Barbarella, breaking the excessive-pleasure machine. Apart from that, can't say she has been particularly memorable. Perhaps NCC whatever has more to share.

Pathetic, isn't it. So cooped up and bored we are talking about an 82 year old.

A great Lady !

Follow Jane's advice if you want to live to ...90. Get out your leotards and do your aerobics now, it's not too late.

Hanoi Jane, lucky she didn't hang for treason!

I remembered Barbarella with affection so I bought the DVD. Unfortunately it has not aged well- it was garbage.

She made 2 good movies, IMO.

she stood up for what she  believed in.  the war was a disaster. 50,000 American kids died in vain.  it's still a stain on America, i am so glad that i do not have blood on my hands.  i could not live with that.

tell that to the hundreds of F105 and F4 pilots incarcerated by the animals in the Hanoi Hilton and only doing their duty to the best of their ability.  Vietnam was a political and moral mistake, but it wasn't the pilots mistake.   She was too dumb and stupid to see that what she was doing was harming the very people she should have been supporting,  Dozy cow.

Support what, an unnecessary war? You want to talk atrocities, try My Lai.

the pilots who were imprisoned.  Nobody supports the atrocities that happened, they were unforgivable, but the prisoners in Hanoi, the vast majority pilots flying out of Thailand and the Navy ships in the Gulf , still needed support.  if you can't see that, then  i am sorry for you. 

Co2 loony

I feel sorry for the thousands that were killed unnecessarily on both sides, for the use of Agent Orange, for leaving thousands of landmines in Laos and Cambodia to blow off limbs of innocent children and civilians, and the US still hasn't learned it's lesson.

of course; we all do.  Things have moved on from that time and smart weapons are much smarter than ever they were and civilian casualties have been greatly reduced.  The fact is the US and its allies should not have been there in the first place.  However, seeing this stupid cow sitting in an anti aircraft gun in Hanoi was hardly helping  understanding.  She was used, as are all mentally deficient people like her.

All those US servicemen that were conscripted were used as well.

of course they were, it was ever thus.  Throughout history, the Military have been ill used by the political class and then abandoned after their use was over.  She was one of the architects of that abandonment for US pilots. I am amazed that America ever forgave her, or let her continue to live in the US.

She stood up for what she believed in - and was proven right.

Think all who served in that S--t Show were going around waving the Flag ?

Jane Fonda made a stand against the atrocities of war, get over it.

Why you seem to hate her so much, i can't understand.
