If there is a select group of First Families of Hollywood to match the historical First Families of Virginia, two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda, who celebrates her 79th today, is a part of one of them. Fonda grew up in a family where acting was not frowned on, of course, but she credits the legendary Lee Strasberg with inspiring her to follow her father’s footsteps and pursue an acting career.

Fonda made her film debut in 1960 in a romantic comedy called Tall Story that was adapted from a play she had starred in on Broadway. She was awarded a Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer. Her first breakthrough came with the 1965 comedy Western, Cat Ballou, which brought her another Golden Globe nomination and showed that she was a bankable star. Fonda ended the 1960s with an Oscar-nominated role in They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, and began the 1970s by winning her first Oscar, for Best Actress, in Klute:


Fonda had a bit of a quiet patch in her career after Klute, choosing to focus on the political activism that has always been a part of her life, but from 1977-86 she received five Oscar nominations, winning a second Best Actress honor for Coming Home. She is still active today, starring in the Netflix series Grace and Frankie (opposite Lily Tomlin).

Exercise videos? You can discuss them in the comments if you want.

Happy Birthday to the legend, Jane Fonda! I'm so glad she returned to acting for this show alone. No one else could portray Grace the way she does and the chemistry that she still has with Lily Tomlin is out of this world.

Let her give up all her money, go to a communist country, and have a happy birthday there.

Nope, I'm pretty sure she is going to stay right here and have a Happy Birthday. If you want to talk negative about her, start a different thread elsewhere. Trolling a birthday thread isn't the place for it.

There are many of us who were DEEPLY OFFENDED by the ways she chose to air her sentiments. If you did start a thread, I would gladly post on it.
