Go for the burn again! Jane Fonda slips back into her old leotard at the age of 71
The Mail Online. Com ^ | 4/29/09

Posted on 04/29/2009 3:44:55 PM PDT by llevrok

She recently bemoaned the misery of ageing, branding herself 'old and matronly'.

But Jane Fonda couldn't have looked more youthful and sprightly as she slipped back into her famous 1980s workout gear for a charity event in New York last night.

In fact the 71-year-old appeared almost unchanged since the release of her first exercise video, the Jane Fonda Workout, almost three decades ago.

Still in great shape: The septuagenarian's figure looked almost unchanged since her 1980s exercise heyday

.

Back in the old routine: The audience cheered on as actress showed off her moves in a red leotard and legwarmers

For years her body was envied the world over, but in recent times she has admitted to struggling with the effects of ageing.

She joked this week: 'I am bone tired. Weird though it may seem, sometimes the show can be good even though you are tired. Kind of like sex, if I remember correctly from days gone by.' In February, the septuagenarian berated her appearance in publicity photographs for her stage show.

Fitness guru: The Jane Fonda Workout video was released in 1982 and went on to sell more than 17 million copies

While she looked pretty amazing to the casual observer, she was unimpressed, particularly with images taken without a filter.

I am old. I am matronly.'

In the past she has succumbed to plastic surgery breast implants and cosmetic surgery to remove the bags under her eyes.

But now she insists that she is determined to grow old gracefully and has been an outspoken critic of plastic surgery.

'This profession requires humility - alongside the ego that wishes we looked better.'

Probably not bad for 71, but she (and anybody else that age) is way too old to go around (un)dressed like that.

I normally don’t wish ill upon people but she’s one I hopes slips, breaks her hip and dies from it. She’s a piece of shiite muslim. She’s a traitor to this country and our military. The fact she was never put in jail for what she did amazes me. Her, her ex husband TOm Hayden and her idiot kid Troy Garrity can all go to hell.

From RushLimbaugh.com:
Hanoi Jane Endorses Obama
April 3, 2008

REPORTER 1: Jane, who are you voting for?

REPORTER 2: Who gets your vote?

FONDA: Obama.

REPORTER 2: Oh, my God. Heaven help us all.

RUSH: The reporter for TMZ said, "Oh, God. Heaven help us all." Obviously the reporter is an Obama supporter.

________________________________________________________________________________

November 22, 1970 -- During a fund-raising tour for GI deserters, Vietnam Veterans Against the War and the Black Panthers, Jane Fonda is quoted in the Detroit Free Press as telling a University of Michigan audience:

"I would think that if you understood what communism was, you would hope, you would pray on your knees that we would someday become communist," and "The peace proposal of the Viet Cong is the only honorable, just, possible way to achieve peace in Vietnam."
http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=Timeline

Fonda made the following statement at the University of Texas:
"We've got to establish a Socialist economic structure that will limit private profit-oriented businesses. Whether the transition is peaceful depends on the way our present governmental leaders react. We must commit our lives to this transition ...... We should be very proud of our new breed of soldier. It's not organized but it's mutiny, and they have every right." --Karen Elliott Dallas Morning News December 11, 1971

From 1972: "I am not a do-gooder, I am a revolutionary. A revolutionary woman."

January, 1971: Jane Fonda raises funds for the Winter Soldier Investigation through a series of benefit concerts. Participants include Fonda, Dick Gregory, Donald Sutherland, Graham Nash, David Crosby and Phil Ochs. Fonda is named Honorary National Coordinator of the event.

February 16, 1971: Jane Fonda and Donald Sutherland form "FTA" (F*** The Army), an anti-war, anti-American road show that tours near Army bases in order to undermine troop morale. Skits and songs portray American defeats, soldiers refusing to fight, and the murder of officers by their troops. FTA cast members mingle with soldiers after the shows, encouraging them to desert or to sabotage the Army.

Rare Screening of Restored Archival Print of Classic Vietnam War-Era Documentary

What: Screening of FTA
When: Monday, February 2, 2009
7:00pm, 9:15pm
Where: IFC Center (map)
323 Sixth Avenue
New York, NY, US 10014

With Former FTA Cast Member Jane Fonda in Person
Monday, February 2 at 7:00pm and 9:15pm
7:00pm show sold out!

FTA (1972, Francine Parker), the Vietnam War-era documentary, will have an ultra-rare screening in a restored archival print with former FTA cast member Jane Fonda in person, Monday, February 2 at 7:00pm and 9:15pm; the 7:00pm show is sold out. Following the screening, Ms. Fonda will talk about the film and her work in the controversial antiwar touring show in a discussion moderated by David Zeiger, director of the recent documentary Sir! No Sir! A portion of the proceeds from the evening will benefit Iraq Veterans against the War, a nonprofit organization that advocates for ending the war and for providing support to returning service members.

Virtually unseen in any format since a brief theatrical run in 1972, FTA documents "the show the Pentagon couldn't stop." The revue, whose letters were said to stand both for Free Theater Associates and also Free (or, at times, another F-word) The Army, brought antiwar entertainment to military personnel at the height of Vietnam. Performers like Ms. Fonda, Donald Sutherland and Holly Near toured towns near military bases around the US and overseas, lending their support to troops who opposed the war. The film follows the troupe as it travels and performs near US military bases on the Pacific Rim -- Hawaii, Okinawa, the Philippines -- encouraging opposition to the war among the rank-and-file of US forces.

FTA is a gritty mix of rollicking performances and GI interviews, juxtaposing lighthearted political satire with the somber realities of war, occupation, and the absurdities of military life, a barbed rebuke to the staid USO program. From Okinawa to the Philippines, stirred by the show's provocative message, the members of the U.S. military find courage to speak out candidly in front of the camera.

Fonda and Sutherland are joined on stage by an all-star cast of musicians and activists including folk musician Len Chandler and comedian Paul Mooney. A fresh look at the Vietnam anti-war movement through the songs and skits that shook a generation, this film will leave you singing along with the fired-up men and women of the military. Foxtrot, Tango, Alpha... F*** the Army!

Print courtesy of the Academy Film Archive.

Tickets: $12 IFC Center members, $15 general admission.

*********************

That's a good question. I'm going to vote for Cronkite, because he had much more influence on the public than Fonda. I think a lot of people didn't have much respect for her and probably little has changed.
