You were beautiful when you were young and you're more beautiful now because you are so at ease with yourself and your wisdom shines through. I should be so lucky! Surely you’re kidding!

Amazing how you could feel old and matronly....when in fact i look at you with envy, and i'm 20 yrs younger. I've been a fan forever, of your work, activisim, social causes, and your workouts. And I still do them!! Almost 60 and still "flex...flex". Am going to try and get to the City to see your play Easter week. Keep up your blog. Interesting. Fascinating. Intimate. I look forward to more. i happened upon your blog by accident, and i’ve spent the last week every nite after dinner reading it.

I don't look that good now and I'm 55! :) I can only hope to look as good as you do when I’m 71. I don’t look that good now and I’m 55! :)

After two weeks, I am struggling with so much guilt, sorrow and fear of the future, one could never imagine. I happened on your site and just roared and marveled at your generosity and openness to share your life like this. The post about going to Starbuck's without money then leaving the Blackberry behind at one point, just touched me as so "me" right now. Imagine, we all have these frailities! it helped me immensely to know that --- as an old "Women's Strike for Peace" gal--- one of my heroes is struggling to face the rigors of aging with such candor and humor. I saw you recently on Stephen Colbert's show and was so pleasantly surprised at your unbowed and sassy-ass presence, but I did not know you had this in you. God bless you, Ms. Fonda!

I thought you struck just the right balance of pride and vulnerability. I really enjoyed the show. The subject matter just fascinated me. I would also like to respectfully say that for someone who is a champion of women's rights, the premium you put on your looks isn't necessary. You have tons of adoring fans who admire and respect you for who you are and what you stand for. You are enough. Am loving your blog so much. Thanks for sharing! Jane,
