Cambridgeshire, England

Actress Jane Fonda said she was considering studying in Cambridge during a visit to the city on Tuesday.

The Oscar winner, political activist and fitness guru was in the city as part of a visit to Britain to promote her autobiography, My Life So Far.

In an interview with BBC Look East she said she was thinking about returning to study theology and feminism there.

"It (Cambridge) is so beautiful that it is just breathtaking. I hope I come back," said Fonda, 67.

"I am thinking about studying here if I can persuade my daughter and grandchildren to come too."

If she goes through with this, Jane Fonda will come out as a Womyn, and be ordained a minister of the Gaia faith, and she will channel the spirits of ancient Druids.

Old commies never die, they just sound and act like it.

Is Jane planning on accepting the slot Chelsea Clinton declined?

Does Cambridge offer a degree in treason?

[NZerFromHK]

It literally wouldn't be treason from the British perspective. After all, she is only committing treason from the USA. (hint, hint) The Poms will certainly love this womyn as long as she doesn't commit treason to Britain. </sarcasm>

I thought she had become an Evangelical Christian. Has she backslid?

[Churchillspirit]

She is right - Cambridge is beautiful, or it will be again when she leaves.

So what if she does, is this bad?

[corsair]

That's right. How bad can it be if Jane Fonda leaves the U.S. and takes up residence in Cambridgeshire? Good for us, bad for them. Because she can attract her own kind, Fonda could turn Cambridge University upside down and inside out.
