Urgent and at times shockingly unstrategic — what star today would be caught dead astride an enemy anti-aircraft battery as she was in 1972? — Fonda's worst qualities are also her very best qualities. She has always been defined by that never-sated thirst for something she can believe in — an authority to which she can defer, be it a daddy or an ism or a deity. And it is that search for meaning, for authenticity, that renders her authentic. In this way, Fonda defines an American era that we didn't know to value until it had long since passed.
BRIGHT STAR: JANE FONDA ON FILM | Feb. 11-26, with Fonda in person on Feb. 14 | Bing Theater at LACMA | lacma.org
Beautiful. It would have been easy to write something slick on Fonda-as-celebrity, but Ms. Rosman reveals Jane Fonda as wonderfully human. I don't think I could have bought JF as a paragon of authenticity before reading this, but this nuanced and carefully considered account has let me reconsider her.
Great piece on Fonda and she is wonderful now in 33 Variations at the Ahmanson Theater. a truly intriguing play by Moises Kaufman. Though Beethoven is at the center she gives a very thoughtful portrayal of a Professor.
