Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda walked into our junket room just as self-confident as she has always been. Never mind that the airline just lost her luggage full of clothes that she was going to wear doing a round of interviews promoting her new film, "Georgia Rule" co-starring Lindsay Lohan and Felicity Huffman.
She still looked good.
I asked her if she gave the airline a piece of her mind. In true Jane Fonda fashion, she said, "No, I was so tired, I didn't have enough mind to give them."
Jane plays a small town mom struggling to keep everyone together as terrible family secrets slowly reveal themselves.

The conversation eventually turns to the reported bad behavior of Lindsay Lohan during filming on the set. Jane says she offered Lindsay emotional support but, says the young starlet wasn't in a place where she wanted it, so Jane didn't push.
Then, Jane puts it out there saying "when a young person doesn't have structure and a value-based foundation, and you overlay that with celebrity from 12-years-old, that's hard". Reading that as a not-so-subtle message that parents need to hear.
Turning now to politics...Jane had just gone to the White House Correspondents' Association dinner where Sanjaya was a huge celebrity. I asked if she had met the American Idol reject and Jane says, "Oh yes, SHE's a lovely girl". I say, "No, Jane, Sanjaya's a guy!" She says, "Oh, I see. Then I guess I did not meet him."
But, of course, she knows her politics and she's still very passionate about them.
Jane was still bemoaning the fact that, at the dinner, she missed witnessing the widely-reported confrontation between singer Sheryl Crowe and Laurie David - a major Democratic donor and producer of the global warming documentary featuring Al Gore, 'An Inconvenient Truth' - and President Bush's deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove. She says, "I heard about some fight going on and scampered to try to find them but, couldn't. But, I think Sheryl and Laurie did just fine without me'.
The lady can still handle herself - especially after selling 17-million workout videos.
Okay, I'm going to throw out, 'The China Syndrome' as my favorite Jane Fonda film.
What's yours and why?
