Jane Fonda withdrew her multi-million dollar grant to Harvard University, because the value of her divorce settlement has collapsed. Fonda reneged on her promise to provide the Ivy League university with $12.5 million last week and expects to be handed back approximately half of her original donation. The veteran actress divorced billionaire Ted Turner two years ago and was presented with a healthy divorce settlement. However her money was linked to the stock market which has been on a downward spiral ever since and her lucrative windfall is now considerably slimmer.

I'm not laughing at the concept of Jane Fonda needing money. I'm laughing at the concept of her imagining that Harvard will give her any money back. I don't think it's likely.

not to worry. I'm sure that Saddam has some SUV cash to give her for supporting him.

If she was on her hands and knees in the streets begging, I would kick her in the face and tell her to go ask the Vietnam vets or the aborted babies for the money.

That's just the problem, she isn't letting the servant go, just failing to fullfil a promise, to the University. This shows how shallow she really is. She could SELL SOME ASSETS to be able to give the money to the college, but she isn't. I don't care what the donation was for, she promised it, and is being really sleazy, now.

Now, now, Paul, you know the rules. No Hanoi Jane articles without the requisite photos.

Didn't her hubby promise to dive the U.N. a bunch of money? I wonder if he made good on that promise.

Ted's (Turner) Terrible Troubles
To quote:
Needless to say, Turner's money woes don't bode well for his myriad philanthropic activities (for instance, he may be forced to extend that U.N. payment schedule by a few years). Gloom is descending on everybody from U.N. bureaucratic hacks to scruffy tree huggers. Ted's liberal do-gooder spendthrift days seem to be on hold until the U.S. economy improves. "As soon as the stock market rebounds, we really want to get back in the game," Devon Finley, a program officer at the Turner Foundation, told the Portland Oregonian.
