I've always liked the ever-so-gutsy Ms.Fonda,,,


But I fell in love when a local TV network played Klute, California Suite and 9 to 5

I'm slowly getting into her filmography, recently.

Any fans?

Jane Fonda spit on by Vietnam vet
Man calls actress traitor for her actions during war

Michael Smith

A Vietnam veteran was arrested in Kansas City yesterday for allegedly spitting on actress Jane Fonda during a book-signing event.

Michael A. Smith, 54, reportedly waited in line for 90 minutes, passed a book to the Academy Award winner, and then spit tobacco juice into her face.

Though he attempted to flee, he was taken into custody and charged with disorderly conduct.


Fonda declined to prosecute Smith, and issued a statement through her publisher stating: "In spite of the incident, my experience in Kansas City was wonderful and I thank all the warm and supportive people, including so many veterans, who came to welcome me last night."

Fonda has become a polarizing figure in the wake of the Vietnam War.

In 1972, she was photographed laughing on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft tank.

She has since expressed regret, stating in 1988, "I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless."

Smith told the Kansas City Star that Fonda is a "traitor" who had been spitting at war veterans for years.

"There are a lot of veterans who would love to do what I did," Smith told the paper.

The incident is getting reaction in online messageboards today, including the following postings:


"As a veteran and a surviving son of a Vietnam casualty and a recent Kansan (5 years), I can express nothing but embarrassment for Smith's actions and how it reflects on our great community. My father didn't die, nor did I serve for any other reason than to allow others the very same freedoms we stood for. Smith ought to read Fonda's book, maybe it'll provide some closure that he's obviously struggling with."

"I would like to pay Mr. Smith's bail. He is a true patriot."

"I don't like what [Fonda] did and will never forgive her. If I was on a jury to sentence the tobacco spitter I'd say 'if she deserved the spit, you must acquit.'"

I bet she wouldn't be caught dead in the same room as Jon Voight now.

I've always admired her for that incident. It takes a ballsy person to do what she did.

This are my favorite movies starring Ms. Fonda.

Walk on the Wild Side '60
Hurry Sundown '67
Barefoot in the Park '67
They Shoot Horses, Don't They? '69
Julia '77
The Morning After '86

With the exception of "Barefoot in The Park" and "Julia" they very seldom show Ms. Fonda's earlier films on cable/tv.

She was wonderful as the bitchy mother in law in "monster in law"!

Love!

I love her!

The other day I was watching The Morning After again after many years. The
movie is not very good but the chemistry between Jane Fonda and Jeff Bridges
is fantastic.

There's a movie I watched by her called Sunday in New York, cute lil' film, I enjoy her earlier movies too,,,,but other than "Barefoot", I don't think I've seen many.

Yeah, I way dig Jane. Smart woman who's seen and done it all. Of course she's made some mistakes along the way - haven't we all?

...Oh - and she was F.O.I.N.E., back in the day:

I had a baby named Jane, she could shake that thing
Said her daddy used to hang with Johnny Coltrane
She sang on Soul Train, with her friend named Jen
Her booty was bigger than a Mercedes Benz
Jen was a hurdy-gurdy, dirty little girlie
I heard it from a birdie she could cook a mean turkey
With gravy, "Baby, baby, baby..."
Baby was Jen's best friend and maybe
If you were lucky - licky-licky, sucky-sucky
"Mickey! Mickey! Fuck me! Fuck me!"
More junk in the trunk than a Honda
I know you wanna do The Jane Fonda!

One, Two, Three, Four!
Get your booty on the dance floor
Work it out! Shake it, little mamma!
let me see you do The Jane Fonda!
Five, Six, Seven, now...
If you don't know, lemme show you how
To work it out, work it, little mama
I know you wanna do The Jane Fonda

I had a princess, Queen of Incest
She was inbred, but Jean had big breasts
And big eyes and a big ass to match
Jean wasn't fat, she was easy to catch
Then came Molly, a hood from Hollywood High
So fly, she was trans-Atlantic
She was a manic-depressive
Which was impressive
Very impressive; I had to test it
Tasted like chicken and was lemon-scented
She took me home to her mama
I taught 'em both how to jane fonda

CHORUS

I had a girl named Dana, from Santa Ana
She was a waitress at the Copacabana
She was slammin' and her ass was jammin'
Like Janet Jackson in the Rhythm Nation
Her brother Jason had a girl named Grace
And you could see her ass from outer space
So I landed on her planet
And planted a Mickey Av. flag in it, dammit!

CHORUS

- Mickey Avalon
