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."

A filthy rich commie nutjob to the bitter end. Poor Hanoi jane


She should spend the rest of her days in southern Croatia where she can, ahem, Crimea River.

She made much flap, as I recall, about becoming a Christian. However, still pro-abort, still not repentant on hurting our boys....judge a tree by it’s fruit. I can’t judge the state of her soul, but her fruit is rotten and God will decide.

Of course, she will fight to preserve the dolphins, gorillas, and chimpanzees, and murder the unborn children out of "kindness". Lib idiot, you have made your own bed and crapped in it.

Cry Me a River, indeed.

She should listen to the accounts of the former Hanoi POWs facing their mortality at the age of 26, and facing the mortality of their friends.

Oh, that’s right, she sided with the enemy in that situation, aiding, comforting and creating and spreading anti American propaganda, and hasn’t apologized nor been tried properly for it.

That’s right.

Here Jane, is a poem, maybe it will help...

“I know”, she said.
“I know”, he said.
Together they said, “We know”.
And I said,
“Don’t tell me, I’m not here.
I’m in Vietnam BABY!”

Now just crawl off into the weeds of life and die beotch.
Tet68 said that.

hey Janey....try finding yourself with ALS in your late 40's...or getting lung cancer at age 65 just when you were planning on retiring....or maybe you would have loved being held in a small tiny cage as a POW when you were young, waiting for Uncle Sam to save you....

the fact is, you've lived a rich life and had no worries ever.....silver spoon up the ying yang....

we could care less about some pampered selfish little B actress who only got movie roles because of daddy dearest....

She has been a wealthy American for 76 years and has still learned nothing, still has the mind of a child.

Yep, the Bible says we will know them by their fruits. Perhaps she is suffering the pangs of the damned. Who knows for sure?

It seems this story has been posted on FR several different ways and from different sources. It is still a great story with a nearly perfect ending. That will be coming soon according to the story.
