Hello, I’m Luna, a painter who has linked a post to your website (http://janefonda.com/).
I write you to visit it and I would appreciate if you could make a commentary about the beginning I have written about “Mug Shot” (http://janefonda.com/mug-shot/).
Best Regards,

Luna

[...] título de mi pasada exposición “Fichados”, está inspirado en una fotografía de la actriz Jane Fonda* fichada por la policía, que encontré navegando por internet. Esta imagen fue el punto de partida [...]

Best picture of you. I recently viewed “Sir! No Sir!” and finally saw your efforts for what they really were, and not the propaganda.

I’m dressing up as “FTA” you for a Halloween party – a great way to make a statement. I already ordered my shag wig

Thank you,

Kate

The arrest wasn’t for treason? Too bad.

Hi,

I really respect what you did and for me the picture is very symbolic, I will be having it tattoo’d on my arm in the next coming months as a constant reminder of your bravery!

It was February 1971 that you spoke at the University of Windsor. I found a reference in the book “Spying 101: The RCMP’s Secret Activities at Canadian Universities, 1917-1997.”

I was in my last year of highschool back then. I believe your talk was at St. Denis Hall. The room was packed but I imagine most people were there to see Jane Fonda.

I recall one fellow mentioned he could take over a DEW station if you wanted to. I imagine the Security Service, who were in attendance, made note of him.

Regards,
Paul

Hi:

I remember you coming to talk at the university I was attending, the University of Windsor.

I can’t remember what year it was though. I was there from 71 – 74.

Windsor is across from Detroit. Lots was going on back then.

Those were interesting times.

Like your blog.

Regards,
Paul

I read Jane’s book last month and I think it should be compulsory reading for all women. I’ve already bought copies for 3 family members and 2 friends ranging in age from 18 to 71 and living in 4 different countries. I plan to buy copies for all of my female family members and friends over the next year. (I should stress though, as the contributors above attest, it’s not written exclusively for women by any means – in fact the only person I’m sharing my copy with is my husband.) We read many books, but for each of us, there are a small handful of books that touch us deeply and actually change us fundamentally. For me, this is one of them. Somehow, while ostensibly telling you about her own life (and there is a lot to tell!), Jane moves you to look at yourself deeply and also to empathize with all women in your life. And if it doesn’t do that for you, I can guarantee that – at worst – you’ll find it a hugely interesting and entertaining read. There is a lot more I would like to say to you, Jane, and I’ll write again to you soon, but in the meantime I’ll just say thank you. I’ve had an incredibly lucky life so far and have absolutely nothing to complain about / no scars to heal, so I’m not certain why your book had such a profound affect on me. I think mainly because you wrote so honestly and dared to share very personal experiences that people would tend not to talk about, but that we can all learn from even if we haven’t gone through them directly ourselves. It may just be the ultimate act of generosity! Thank you.
