  • On this week’s episode of Street You Grew Up On, Kerry is joined by actress, activist and all around icon, Jane Fonda. The two go back to Jane’s childhood home in California, on Tigertail Road, where she was raised in a beautiful Dutch farmhouse during a time when the world was at odds. Despite growing up hearing the sounds of WW2 air raid sirens, and at the height of racism, Jane still had glimmers of light of fond childhood memories. She shares with us moments of listening to Nat King Cole with her father, going to the beach with her brother, and funny Christmas memories involving spiked eggnog and Jimmy Stewart falling on a tree. Jane’s legacy of fighting for social and environmental justice comes as no surprise given the values and interests she developed from an early age.

    New episodes of Street You Grew Up On - Season 3 every other Tuesday at 8AM PT!
    About Street You Grew Up On: Simpson Street is where our journey begins. It’s the street that Kerry Washington’s mom grew up on in The Bronx, NY. Through this social series, Kerry Washington interviews artists, influencers, and industry experts to uncover their origin stories, amplify our common humanity and affirm the value of every individuals' journey, beginning with the “street they grew up on...”

    There is a light, a brilliance, and a divine presence in all that Kerry does. Her guests, like the admirable Jane Fonda, are able to reveal and illuminate their beginnings (their origin stories) in such a way that brings such humanity and beauty to the act of remembering our childhoods. The tool of connection and belonging always begins with a telling of the places that we grew up on. Our story telling of that establishes the covenant of our shared humanity. I’m grateful for Kerry offering these wonderful glimpses into the people we love, and teaching us how simple it can be to connect to others, no matter who. ❤❤❤

    Wow! I was in awe and in tears listening to Ms. Jane Fonda. What an Icon. She has lived such an incredible life and what life experiences she has encountered. Listening to her was like reading a great book where I didn't want to put it down. The life she has lived is so intriguing 🤔. Jane is an exceptional woman and human being, and this world 🌎 is better because she is here. I love Ms. Jane Fonda, you're an inspiration.

Some things about WW11 I had read about. To hear someone who lived it share those experiences is much appreciated. Thank you Kerry and thanks to Jane Fonda

    Thank you Jane Fonda, what an amazing, heartfelt, and inspiring and informative interview. Having Jane Fonda say that racism was taught in the home, and it's up to the parents and/or grandparents to teach humanity to their children, needed to be said. Thank you Henry Fonda for instilling that in your children, in spite of what was shown to you. SALUTE!

Thank you so much for asking Jane Fonda, one of my greatest role models to be on this incredible show. She and my Mother lived very similar lives in a time that everyone should know, understand and learn from. Tears of pain, joy and light are falling and that is what we are here for. To feel, to live, to know, to learn and especially to love. Thank you both!

    As well as Kerry having such a sweet and genuine vibe that you can tell makes the guests feel very comfortable and loved and appreciated and heard.
    I have always loved Mrs. Fonda and this is probably my favorite interview of many I've watched of her! I only wish it had been longer!

She babysat me when I was young and I have very fond memories of her even thoughshe passed when i was around 4 or 5. Through my mom I know a little of her history but a tiny amount...she didn't talk much to her children about her experiences, life, feelings, ideas or anythingfor that matter.... I always say... If she was around now I would make her talk lol she would tell me all the tea

    Wow! Just Wow Kerry and Jane. I love that you told people to get her memoir, "My Life So Far!" I read when it came out and I was blown away by her candor, not only by her story of recovery, as I face the same issue, but that she was able to see her patterns with men. Jane is such a gift to all of us and, Kerry, you are as well. Thank you so much for doing this show. You have such a gift for asking great questions that just flow wherever the conversation takes you. I am hooked on these episodes!

    I think we may be related. My grandmother (RIP) was Lois Jean Elliott from Bull Savanah Jamaica St Elizabeth. She told me that she remembered playing with her cousin Colin Powell as a child. I am closely related to the Elliotts, Powells, Gordons, Simpsons, Sinclairs, Senior, Greene, Holness and many more who married into the Elliott family. We are related to Maxi (Elliott) Priest, the Late great reggae singer Jacob (Elliott) Miller Fred Locks, Heavy D (RIP) , and Busta Rymes (His mother is a Greene) may also be related to us. LOL. We have Huge family from Jamaica on my mothers side. Your mother looks exactly like the women on my mothers side from there. So many famous people in our family and especially music artists.

    I love Jane Fonda. I love Kerry too and I'm sorry to say this interview style kinda annoyed me...that juvenile patronizing, oohing, ahhing and waaaaw. It's like watching someone trying to talk to a child. Look I really like Kerry Washington but asking questions like why someone would eat canned fruit and interrupting while repeating what Jane is saying, to me at least, seems insincere and fake. Jane is an icon and a great story teller, I think it's ok to just let her speak without interjecting. The only time Kerry got quiet was after the story about the N word, then she stopped being Pollyanna and started being more genuine. It's sad to see Jane's labored breathing... I really hope she's ok. Anyway I apologize to Kerry if I was so scathing but the Drew Barrymore Show already exists and her show is cringe AF so I just hope as an audience we can be offered interviews a little deeper and mature in general. I love you with Jane and Kerry.
