Born to socialite Frances Ford Seymour and actor Henry Fonda, Jane made her acting debut with the 1960 Broadway play There Was a Little Girl, for which she received a nomination for the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Play, and made her screen debut later the same year with the romantic comedy Tall Story. She rose to prominence during the 1960s with the comedies Period of Adjustment (1962), Sunday in New York (1963), Cat Ballou (1965), Barefoot in the Park (1967), and Barbarella (1968) before receiving her first Oscar nomination for They Shoot Horses, Don't They? (1969). Jane then established herself as one of the most acclaimed actresses of her generation, winning the Academy Award for Best Actress twice in the 70s for Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978).
In 1982, Jane released her first exercise video, Jane Fonda's Workout, which became the highest-selling videotape of its time. It would be the first of 22 such videos over the next 13 years, which would collectively sell over 17 million copies. She also released another five exercise videos during 2009-2012. She starred in Stanley & Iris (1990), Monster-in-Law (2005), and Georgia Rule (2007) before returning to Broadway in the play 33 Variations (2009), earning a Tony Award for Best Actress in a Play nomination. Jane re-launched her acting career starring leading film roles in Youth (2015), and Our Souls at Night (2017), and in Netflix's comedy series Grace and Frankie (2015-2022) for which she earned a nomination for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Jane was married three times in her life. In August 1965, she married her first husband, prominent French film director Roger Vadim. The couple welcomed a daughter, Vanessa, and divorced in 1973. On January 19, 1973, three days after officially divorcing Vadim, Jane married antiwar activist and politician Tom Hayden in a casual ceremony at her home in LA. She was pregnant at the time, and that July, their son was born. The couple named their baby boy Troy O'Donovan Garity. Jane and Tom eventually settled down in Santa Monica and even opened a summer camp for disadvantaged kids on a ranch in Santa Barbara, CA. It was there that the couple met Mary Luana Williams (known as Lulu), the daughter of Black Panther members. In 1982, they invited 14-year-old Lulu to live with them and adopted her. Despite their happy blended family, the pair got divorced in June 1990. Jane shocked everybody when she began dating billionaire TV tycoon and CNN founder Ted Turner. The two were married at a ranch in Florida on Fonda's birthday, December 21, 1991. She was given away by her son, Troy, who was 18 at the time. The couple were married for 10 years before their divorce in May 2001, but have remained close friends and have continued to meet up with their families and attend events together.
She was a political activist in the counterculture era during the Vietnam War, and was photographed sitting on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun on a 1972 visit to Hanoi, during which she gained the nickname "Hanoi Jane". During this time, she was effectively blacklisted in Hollywood. She has also protested the Iraq War and violence against women, and describes herself as a feminist and environmental activist. In 2005, along with Robin Morgan and Gloria Steinem, she co-founded the Women's Media Center, an organization that works to amplify the voices of women in the media through advocacy, media and leadership training, and the creation of original content. Jane serves on the board of the organization. She has also publicly shown her support of the LGBTQ+ community many times throughout her career. Her amazing charitable works have focused on youth and education, adolescent reproductive health, environment, human services, and the arts.
