Jane Fonda (1937-)
is an American actress, writer, political activist, former fashion model, and fitness guru from New York City. Fonda opposed the Vietnam War and her associated activities were considered highly controversial. She visited Hanoi in Northern Vietnam in July of 1972. During her trip, Fonda made ten radio broadcasts in which she denounced American political and military leaders as "war criminals." She was photographed seated on an anti-aircraft battery, the same used to bring down American aircraft. The controversial photo outraged a number of Americans and resentment against her among veterans still exists. For example, in 2005, a U.S. Navy veteran was arrested after he spat chewing tobacco in Fonda's face during a book-signing event for her autobiography, My Life So Far. He told reporters that "she spit on our faces for 37 years. It was absolutely worht it." Fonda refused to press charges. In 1988 interview with Barbara Walters, Fonda expressed regret for some of her comments and actions, stating, "I was trying to help end the killing and the war, but there were times when I was thoughtless and careless about it and I'm very sorry that I hurt them. [...] I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes." Fonda has also protested the Iraq War and violence against women. In 2005, she co-founded (with Gloria Steinem) 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.
