 ... particularly in Vietnam, where she was a great comfort to the hard-working soldiers of the NVA.

Yeah, I heard her workout was mandatory at NVA bootcamp.

Hanoi Jane the communist pin up girl!

What a bunch of predictable replies.

She got the lifetime Achievement award, and not the I was young and foolish award. But I guess you all never did anything in your youth you later regretted.    

[KarenBravo]

Still incredibly beautiful in her eighties.

utter BS, she was nether young, nor immature. She undermined the men and women who were serving and knew precisely what she was doing.  She should have been charged with treason, her and the other apologists for a vile regime in Hanoi.  I could never stand to look at her smug stupid face from then to now and I'm not even a US citizen

It takes two sides to tango and the vileness of one over the other depends entirely on your point of view........ autonomy or colonialism

In war it doesn't. The rights and and wrongs of the war are not relevant to this or to her.  There was no Geneva Convention with that regime, that alone makes them a bunch of outlaws in International Law.  She was no more than a mile from hundreds of US prisoners being appallingly treated, acting like she was at a garden party, riding on a AAgun that regularly destroyed her own countrymen. . No opinion is needed in considering that kind of overt treasonable behaviour.

What a hollow comment.....are they going to fight against themselves?

As I've already said; autonomy or colonialism....... guess you're a colonizer.

 She never recanted or apologized for undermining her country, and surprise surprise never went to live in a communist one. typical lefty hypocrite

My local AmVets clubhouse back in Pennsylvania bestowed an honor on Hanoi Jane when they inaugurated, in the Men’s Room, the “Jane Fonda Memorial Urinal”, with the above photo permanently glazed/laminated onto the face of the bowl.

I find it hilarious that right wingers have such very long memories about the very talented Jane Fonda yet have already forgotten (or indeed supported) the insurrection that happened this month in Washington D.C.

 

It doesn't wash.

Don't forget Bengazi.......

The citation on the award will read "Oh, you angel! You absolute angel!"

 

"Golden globes" refers to her tit action in the intellectual masterpiece Barbarella, Queen of the Galaxy. With the tagline "See Jane Fonda ... do ... her ... thing." When I was in college she came to give a speech on campus, and  the Young Republicans Club put on a showing of Barbarella in her honor -- get the trogdolytic leftists (yup, Spiro Agnew was vice president then) into the right mood for her speech. Ironically, in an auditorium of the campus building named "Angell Hall".

If memory serves me correctly, there wasn't much of tit action in Barbarella and Jane Fonda per se has never been very "vocal" in that department, plastic surgery notwithstanding. However I would love to see her portray 21st century Annie get your gun meet Qanon Marjorie Taylor Greene in the upcoming Netflix presentation: "Capitol: the Insurrection." I'm sure even at 80 (minus or plus a few) she would jump at the chance to do a bad-ass villainess.

And don't forget she won many film nominations and awards.  I think that was the main point of the OP.

Yes. Very good point.

There are entertainment figures that I admire very much for their work but completely detest their politics. 

I don't see how a performer's politics should have an impact on what awards they may deserve.

For example James Woods, one of my favorite actors. I find his politics extremely horrible.

Maybe because she was on the right side of history?    The USA did not belong in Vietnam. 

 

She didn't undermine her country.  Our politicians did that, sending millions of our kids to kill and die in someone else's civil war.

 

Which sounds kind of familiar to this day.  The best way to support our troops?  Shame our politicians into bringing them home to be with their families.
