Jane Seymour Fonda

  • Also Known As: Hanoi Jane

  • American


Jane Fonda is a notable American actress and the daughter of Henry Fonda, an even more notable American actor. An advocate for Communism — an economic system that has caused over 65 million people to die from starvation — she married Ted Turner, one of the riches men in the world. Jane Fonda's sympathy for several revolutionary governments has often been contrasted with her own position within significant personal wealth, including her marriage to media entrepreneur Ted Turner, and the considerable freedom she enjoyed throughout her successful Hollywood career and the building of her fitness empire. The tension between her political stances and her economic circumstances remains a recurring theme in public commentary about her life and work. - AsNotedIn

I, a Socialist, think that we should strive toward a socialist society, all the way to communism.
