Jane Fonda has a new biopic being released on Netflix this week called Jane Fonda in Five Acts, so of course sat down for a tell-all with USA Today to talk about her life in the limelight, her struggles with insecurity, and that infamous anti-war photo prompting millions to dub her “Hanoi Jane” -- something she says she deeply regrets.
Published on Monday, the article presented the profile of a woman, who hadn’t (until recently) ever felt comfortable in her own skin. Fonda detailed how the early suicide of her mother, the aloofness of her father, and the pressure of life behind the camera led to a difficult and insecure life.
Maybe the fact that she grew up a bit unmoored and unsure about herself contributed to the fact that she got behind lefty progressive activism. USA Today wrote that “Fonda is often identified with her progressive political activism, most memorably expressed in her opposition to the Vietnam War. Fonda’s visit to North Vietnam drew fierce pushback that exists today.”
As it should. She gave aid and comfort to America’s enemies in the form of a PR coup. She broadcast communist propaganda to U.S. military personnel, and the NVA stopped beating seven even American POWs long enough for her to be filmed meeting them.
Then, of course, there’s the infamous picture of Fonda sitting behind a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun peering up the sights just like her hosts did when U.S. warplanes appeared over head. It went beyond anti-war and into treason.
It’s taken decades, but “Hanoi Jane” has admitted that it was a dumb move. She told USA Today, “I’m naive and I make mistakes,” adding that “It was a betrayal … I will go to my grave regretting that.”

Agreed. :)
went to Cal sate fullerton in the 70s. took along time to graduate pet-time full time job with two kids and a working wife. Fonda spoke on noon time had guards like the president. I don;t know what she did in nam. i liked her in the orgasm machine in barbarella. She starts about the fascist US attacking the poor commie. I looked at the guy behind me and he showed the gun turret photo with her in the NVA Left in 2 seconds. later when i say kerry fop there Paris and commit treason i realized it was him on the steps in military green jacket sitting near her as she spoke.
Hurry up.
I was a kid then...I hated these traitors then and I hate them now.
Beautiful.
Hey traitor Jane! You going to your grave cannot happen fast enough!
She should have been arrested and charged with treason upon her re-entry to the country.
And I say this as someone who thinks accusations of treason are thrown around far too loosely both here and in society in general. What she did fit the constitutional definition of treason.
What she and John Kerry did was raw treason. It cannot be forgiven. I have no feelings for them in living with what they did and how many people in this country feel animus toward them. I started to severly dislike Barack Obama when he called John Kerry as a nominee.
Rotting i n He** would be too good for this traitor.
Jane, you ignorant S@&t!
After all this time, what difference does it (your “apology”) make?
I don’t care what you take to your grave, just go there, soonest...
Pissing on her grave is high on my bucket list.
