00:31Like Barrymore or Houston, the name Fonda denotes Hollywood royalty.

00:37And in an illustrious clan that includes her father Henry, brother Peter and niece Bridget,

00:43it is Jane who has had the most extraordinary life.

00:46The daughter of Henry Fonda and socialite Francis Ford Seymour was born in December 1937.

00:53Following her father's footsteps, she quickly forged a successful acting career.

00:59She received the first Best Actress Oscar nomination in 1970 for the grueling but gripping drama

01:04They Shoot Horses, Don't They?

01:06before winning the award for Clute in 1972 and Coming Home in 1979.

01:13At the same time, Jane was becoming increasingly known for her political views and activism.

01:18In 1970, with Fred Gardner and Clute co-star Donald Sutherland,

01:22she formed the FTA Tour, dubbed a political vaudeville response to Bob Hope's USO Tour.

01:27Most notoriously, she caused a firestorm of protest when photographed in Vietnam

01:33sitting on an anti-aircraft gun which had been used against the American Air Force.

01:39Passionately committed to charity work, Jane has long been a mass of contradictions.

01:45A global sex symbol in her early career, she nevertheless identifies as a staunch feminist

01:50and remains fiercely political, campaigning against the war in Iraq

01:54and on such issues as female genital mutilation.

02:02Her film career was still going well in the 80s,

02:05with impressive work in films like On Golden Pond and Nine to Five.

02:10It makes me real happy that it's had this kind of life.

02:13I mean, it doesn't surprise me, but I talk to a lot of young people.

02:20I work with young people in Georgia where I live

02:23and they love the movie.

02:26They learn to look at it because of their parents

02:29and it's a favourite movie of a lot of young people.

02:31So that makes me feel good that it's held up like that.

02:36But her private life has been less successful,

02:39with the failure of her three marriages

02:41to French film director Roger Vadim, politician Tom Hayden

02:45and cable television mogul Ted Turner.

02:48However, she remained close to Vadim

02:50and was among the mourners at his funeral in 2000.

02:57Jane announced her retirement from screen acting at the beginning of the 90s,

03:01but 14 years later changed her mind and has since appeared in a couple of films.

03:09She was one of the few to defend her Georgia Rules co-star, Lindsay Lohan.

03:13You've got to have more in your life than celebrity

03:15because celebrity doesn't last and then you'll be left with nothing.

03:18And the other thing is it's not a dress rehearsal, you know, this is life.

03:21And, you know, if you blow it, you may not get another chance.

03:28She discovered some familiar emotions

03:30in the script about a mother and daughter's reconciliation.

03:34I felt some of the same things that I felt while I was...

03:37It makes me emotional.

03:39When I was doing On Golden Pond, you know,

03:42it's about healing and forgiveness where there's been dysfunction

03:45and don't we all know about dysfunction?

03:47So it's quite universal.

03:50Jane found unexpected inspiration

03:52when creating her over-the-top mother-in-law character in Monster-in-Law.

03:56Ted Turner, actually.

03:58I spent, you know, a good, wonderful ten years with him

04:01and he's a very over-the-top, kind of flamboyant, outrageous character

04:06that's also lovable.

04:08So I kind of learned, watching and being with him,

04:12what that might look like.

04:14So he kind of inspired me.

04:16He's not a monster, but he inspired me in kind of being outrageous.

04:20In 2001, she embraced Christianity, another surprising life choice.

04:25But the world learned long ago

04:27that for a woman as colourful as Jane Fonda, anything is possible.
