In any case, I so love following you on your blog. I was in the audience when you came to San Jose, CA a couple of years ago and Tulea was walking all over the stage the whole time. She almost stole the show...so sweet. I read your book in record time..stayed up all night and the next day and night to finish it..one of the best memoirs I have ever read. Thank you for sharing your life and experiences, and thank you also for the special gift of the dvd that was included in the book..brought tears to my eyes. Wish I was living in NYC so I could come see you on stage.. With so much admiration, always. Deborah Sorry to disagree with Robin above but the phrase is: In bocca al lupo (in the mouth of the wolf).

We made the same blanket/quilt forts all over my grandmother's house when we were little. She never got upset and never stopped us. It's one of the favorite memories of her and my childhood. They will look back on the fact that you let them do that with much love for you. Your grandkids remind me of my brother and I.

What fantastic traditions you have with your fellow actors! Just the thought of performing in front of thousands of people everyday makes nervous, but you all go out there with pure excitement and high energy--that's a beautiful gift. It's always so wonderful to read about how well the show is going, and how much you love it! Best, Amanda Jane,

I just wanted to let you know that I am enjoying your blog/website immensely. It just seems very honest and fresh...and well just very real. My brother is in the business of "show" and has been for over 20 years here in Toronto, so I am very familiar with the work of the actor. (He -Albert- is the founder and artisitic director of Soulpepper Theatre Company here in Toronto) Anyway, I have followed your career since Coming Home which came out when i was 19 years old and have always felt intrigued, interested in the you that is You! I wish that I could see you in this show as you seem to enjoy it so much and you seem so young...not in a "mature" way, but in a vital way! Continued success with your show and just as importantly your family and your "causes" Warmest Regards, Hello Ms. Fonda, Forgive me for assuming the “Ms” as I think it polite to not presume a first name basis on introduction….but please feel free to call me Amanda!

It was wonderfully conversational. Thanks for sharing a part of you. This blog stuff is quite amazing. If someone told me I would be conversing with Jane Fonda, I would not ever have believed it. Well and you get all kinds of input from us in the virtual audience. Pretty cool eh? That was a fun and breezy kinda blog. It was wonderfully conversational. Thanks for sharing a part of you.

You said in a previous blog that Colin's Dad Tom was doing the old 6 degrees of separation trick like your Dad with Abe. There is another link there. A few years ago, Time Life did a match up with stars of today with their counterparts from yesteryear. Tom Hanks and James Stewart were paired up. I believe that Jimmy and your Dad were close too. Keep up your great work. Aussiefan. I am glad that you are doing so well in your play, hope you can bring it downunder one day.

I am almost finished reading your book and I am deeply moved by the Golden Pond Chapter....what an intense chapter. On another note, I am glad you work with the issue of gender roles, for a while now I have been researching the differences. I grew up with two sister and I am very in tune with witnessing the role of girls/women. Because of my upbringing, this has also allowed me to help women causes. Have you ever dealt or worked with Fistula victims? Fistula is something I am getting more deeply involved in, and I think needs to be acknowledged more. Best, Steve Hi Jane,

And when one says any Italian word with "oso" on the end, usually meaning "-ly", I believe the s is pronounced like a z. it’s “in bocca di lupo” in Italian.
