Critics Review
Such candidness … you’re left with something less frequently inspired by a Hollywood star autobiography - respect
“Such candidness … you’re left with something less frequently inspired by a Hollywood star autobiography - respect” The Times “This book redefines autobiography. It’s not just an autobiography, it’s a journey” – Lord Puttnam “She didn’t just live through changing times, she embodied them” Guardian “Endearingly earnest, honestly intelligent” Sunday Times “This book has an almost uncomfortable sincerity. It refuses to be afraid of the truth … intense, intelligent, supremely committed. Always worthy of our time and attention” Daily Telegraph
About The Author
Jane Fonda
Born into Hollywood aristocracy in 1937, the daughter of actor Henry Fonda and sister of Peter Fonda, Jane Fonda’s childhood was marked with unhappiness and tragedy. Her relationship with her father Henry Fonda was never loving even though she followed his profession, studying acting with Lee Strasberg in New York, then living in Paris. Jane Fonda’s award winning films include Barbarella, They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, Klute and Coming Home for which she won two oscars. Her credits, as film producer, include Nine to Five and On Golden Pond. In the 1980s she revolutionised the fitness industry with a series of workout videos. Her political protests against the Vietnam War caused much controversy in the States, and she continues to be an active advocate on environmental issues, human rights and the empowerment of women.
