Act One:
It’s a time in her life that she would just as soon forget. But true to character, Jane Fonda is sharing with Atlanta one of the lowest points of her career as an actress.  View a rare screening of the 1962 documentary “Jane.”  This 53-minute Drew Associates film, by renowned “direct cinema” filmmaker, D. A. Pennebaker and producer Hope Ryden, tells the very intimate story of Fonda’s ill-fated Broadway play, “The Fun Couple.” The show opened on Broadway and closed two days later after being written off as a flop. Pennebaker follows a then 25-year-old Fonda and chronicles, boldly, the ups and downs, the disappointment and disenchantment, Fonda’s whole traumatic experience, from start to finish.

Act Two:
Gabourey “Gabby” Sidibe, best known for her Academy Award nominated performance in the film “Precious,” and currently seen in Showtime’s “The Big C,” joins Jane Fonda onstage for an in-depth discussion of the obstacles faced in pursuit of success, the perseverance required to hone one’s craft and the personal triumphs made possible through involvement in the arts.  Moderated by Susan V. Booth, Alliance Theatre Artistic Director, the inspirational dialogue will include perspectives from the young Alliance Theatre actors as well as insight from surprise celebrity guests.
 
G-CAPP is proud to partner with the Alliance Theatre to bring you this extraordinary evening to benefit G-CAPP’s statewide focus on empowering our youth.  Committed to enriching the lives of adolescents and helping them achieve a healthy, productive future free of early pregnancy, G-CAPP relies on your support to fund its vital work in Georgia.

Coleman Barks, Mary Catherine Bateson, Jane Fonda, Roshi Joan Halifax, and Harry Moody, with Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Ram Dass participating virtually

Co-sponsored with the Legacy of Wisdom Project

The basic quest for meaning and fulfillment is at the core of what it means to be human, but our increasingly frenetic and complex modern life makes that quest more challenging than ever. The Legacy of Wisdom Project was launched by three of our era’s most inspiring spiritual figures—Ram Dass, Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi and Roshi Joan Halifax—to share practical tools, information and inspiration for those of us seeking to live a deeply meaningful, satisfying life. Today marks the historic inaugural gathering of this Legacy of Wisdom. It will bring together some of the most beloved spiritual and cultural elders of our time, so that we may drink from the fountain of their wisdom as they probe some of the deepest personal and social issues facing us in this difficult period of human history from contemplative, cultural and scientific perspectives.

Join this illustrious array of leaders for a unique day of visioning, sharing and learning in a highly interactive and participatory mode, as we explore such topics as how to: find and sustain one’s mission in life; build profound and lasting relationships; live healthfully; cultivate inner wisdom, psychological equilibrium, and compassion; build community; find “right livelihood”; age creatively; and face death and dying gracefully.

About to leave for the Carousel of Hope Ball with our pal, Kathy Griffin

...but here they are.

This afternoon, I drove down to Long Beach where Maria Shriver had a huge march to end Alzheimers.

Jane Lynch from 'Glee' and Leeza Gibbons, who emcee'd the march

With Jane and Peter Gallagher, event co-chair

some of the 1000s of marchers that I photographed through the fence

With my long time pal, Jake (as in Body By Jake) and the Amazing 1st lady, Maria Shriver

Elizabeth Lesser, Sally Field, me, Maria Shriver and Jane Lynch

I'm hugging Jane Lynch after we went onstage together to warming up the crowd. She made it very funny.

Sally Field with author Gail Sheehy

...and Gail with my dear friend, Carol Gilligan

drummers and dancers along the march route

What? They were going in different directions?!

Tomorrow, begins the two-day Women’s Conference, Maria Shriver’s last as first lady. The day is titled “A Day of Health, Wellness and Transformation.” I will do a speech in the evening in what’s called “The Village”, an informal setting where many 1000s of women gather to network and listen to various speakers, buy books and network. During the day I plan on attending the workshops of Sally Field and Elizabeth Lesser and, later, Carol Gilligan and Donna Karan.

I look forward to whatever the First Lady decides to do with her next chapter. She is the most effective, charming, astute, kind, thoughtful woman imaginable and, whatever she does, you can be sure she will make a difference—for all of us

In the corridor after the show. Whew!

Oprah is holding the new book, "No Excuses: 9 Ways Women Can Change how We Think about Power." By my friend, Gloria Feldt I hope she'll read it!

Again, the show I did airs Oct 27th.
