Jane Fonda, 76, Faces Mortality With Tears

and activist Jane Fonda has revealed that at 76 she’s become increasingly aware of her own mortality – and admits that she constantly finds herself crying over "the smallest things."

In an emotional and sometimes eccentric blog entry titled "Crying" on her website, JaneFonda.com, the actress says, "How come pretty things, kind deeds, sad stories, acts of courage, good news, someone’s flax of insight, all get me crying or, at least, tearing up?"

In the blog entry, Fonda didn't reference her political activism, including protesting the Vietnam War. She was photographed during a trip to North Vietnam in 1972 seated on an anti-aircraft battery and was called "Hanoi Jane."

"The Fondas have always been cryers," Fonda wrote. Referring to actor Henry Fonda, she said, "My father once said, Fondas cry at a good steak. My son and daughter are the same. But I find my emotions are way more accessible than they were when I was younger, and I’ve come to feel it has to do with age.

"I have become so wonderfully, terribly aware of time, of how little of it I have left; how much of it is behind me, and everything becomes so precious."

Fonda, who starred in such hit films as "Barefoot in the Park," "On Golden Pond," and Barbarella," said that as she gets closer to the end, she’s able to appreciate "the beauty in small things more than when I was younger perhaps because I pay attention more."

She continued, "I ache for unwanted children in the world, for polar bears, and elephants, whales, and Monarch butterflies, and dolphins, gorillas, and chimpanzees."

Beautifully said. Still a child at 76.

I will not cry over the smallest things, and number one on the list of “smallest things” for my life will be when Hanoi Jane meets her maker.

AID and COMFORT: Jane Fonda in North Vietnam by Henry Mark Holzer and Erika Holzer
"A thorough review of historico-legal precedent", June 14, 2002 By Phil Dragoo

This is a historico-legal research and summary of the applicable treason law--as actually applied to convict and sentence other American citizens who gave aid and comfort to our enemies during armed conflict.

The author clearly shows that Jane Fonda's actions in 1972 would have brought her case to a grand jury. Based on comparison to the actions of convicted American citizens during WWII, Jane Fonda would likely have been convicted as well.

The eight-minute O'Reilly Factor in which author Professor Henry Mark Holzer confronted Fonda's former husband and comrade Tom Hayden is devastating to observe. Hayden falls back on a lame First Amendment defense, and cannot even grasp that North Vietnamese leaders themselves said Fonda had given them the strength to continue.

The American citizens who broadcast for the Nazis and Japanese propaganda radio in WWII were convicted on less evidence than is displayed concerning Fonda's July, 1972 work for the North Vietnamese.

That the U.S. Department of Justice failed to prosecute for fear of a public relations backlash seems in retrospect cowardly and badly reasoned.

The service of our soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines was valiant, and their betrayal by Fonda is a vile thing to behold. Her betrayal of the duties of a citizen is clear, and resonates in the cases of John Walker Lindh and Jose Padilla.

Aid and Comfort is relevant for then and now.

She can no more evade her karma, than she can elude her shadow.

“The Snopes article, if it is to be believed...”

Snopes has less credibility than MSNBC. A leftist organization.

What it’s worth is this- “( )0” or next to nothing.

When is dead and buried I am willing to stand in line to piss on her grave.

She is a symbol to what is wrong in America today. Like a previous poster indicated, in most countries traitors are arrested tried and punished, in our nation they join the Democrat party, are promoted, made judges and tenured professors at our universities.

We are paying the price for that today.

I have to admit, however, I did like Barbarella, haha.

looking forward to expelling a lot of digested/processed ice tea on her final resting place in honor of my then older cousin whose name is on a certain wall in Washington DC

[fredhead]

To quote one of my favorite actors, “Frankly my dear, I don’t give a damn!”

[mad_as_he$$]

Just hurry up and die Jane. Three things left on my bucket list and one of them is pissing on your grave.

[harpu]

This old, sorry-assed bitch is afraid of dieing because she knows that hundreds of thousands of Vietnam Vets will see out her grave location so WE can all take a piss on it - now and forever!!!

[DaveA37]

I’m amazed she has lived this long after what she did in “Nam”.

[camle]

if you was going where she’s going, you’d cry too.

Jane, we will survive with one less Marxist just fine.

Pray America wakes up

[blaveda]

Stop

She says: “I ache for unwanted children in the world, for polar bears, and elephants, whales, and Monarch butterflies, and dolphins, gorillas, and chimpanzees.”

I guess she forgot to mention all the dead Viet Nam era marines that went to early graves as a result of her cavorting with the enemy and convincing the North to continue the fight as the US people will quit on their military.
