- Actress and activist Jane Fonda tells CNN's Chris Wallace why she is not afraid of death, and if she has any regrets in her life. #CNN #WhosTalkingtoChrisWallace
"I am not scared of dying. What I am really scared of is getting to the end of life with a lot of regrets when there's no time to do anything about it".
I can relate to that! . . . I loved the interview!
Go Cancer
Beautiful picture of dog - so sweet.
Me too.
i hope she sees the faces of all the men she caused the death of for eternity
😪
I was my father's youngest son. I saw my father cry one time in my life. It was when I was getting on the plane to go to boot camp when I was 18. My father told me a few years later he wasn't ready to see his baby boy leave home. He's been gone a while now and when my youngest left home recently, I felt connected to my father again and what it was like for him all those years ago
Love.
It seems we always come full circle. Congrats!

Sounds like a cats in the cradle reference 🙄
@@SUGAR_XYLER the song speaks volumes for all people. People raised during the depression was raised in survival mode, they were humble and the wisdom they had insurmountable.
Hanoi Jane
The older you get, the more vulnerable you become. All of the hardness that builds up in adulthood through to late middle age starts to fade away, back to the pure hearts we had in childhood. That’s what I thought watching Jane tear up seeing her father onscreen.
So true Pam💓
Very true
NOTHING to do with age, that's eternal. My parents died young, I think of them every day, not to grieve but as inspiration. Jane has loved her Dad always, no matter how difficult he made it, he's also part of her trauma over her mother's suicide, some things we don't get over, but she is literally a survivor, you have to be to reach old age.
Well said, Pam! So true.
you described it perfectly about going from not guarded to guarded to not guarded again
I love these kinds of interviews. She took time to think. She was candid. Vulnerable. A treasure.
Thank you, Jane. And thank you Chris. I had that same midwestern father. And my awakening came at 52, aha! I appreciated the realness and candor. And if it wasn’t real, damn you’re good!
My father has passed away but before he did he mentioned many times how he had no regrets and how happy he was about that. We all need to get our house in order before we go. Love you Jane Fonda. You are the best!
She’s a traitor
@@mhall801There we’re millions of us anti-war protestors. She was just famous.
@@mhall801 Naah, clear hindsight shows that she was right in her stance against the Vietnam War.
She's far more open minded, clear thinking and powerful than you could ever hope to be but that's an issue for you to deal with and get over bro.
@@mhall801 trump dodge the draft now that a real traitor.
@@stefanantolin5501 👈. There were Americans dying over there, thousands of soldiers while she was doing photo ops with the Vietnamese butchers that were killing them. You don’t have a single clue do you Stefan?
I love this so much, what a great lady!
What a raw and honest interview. She’s not afraid to tell us things not many people can say out loud. Especially the motherhood part.
Lover her 🥰 keep up the amazing activism Jane!
Courage; this lady has so much courage.
One of the best interviews I have ever watched! Never seen anyone being so vulnerable and open like Jane Fonda is here. Just beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time. ❤
The flames of hellfire await her for supporting abortion.
Love and memory are remarkable. She's 85, her father died over 40 years ago and the grief is still there as strong as ever, when something triggers it. I lost my father in November and I'm fine 99% of them then something will catch me and I'm in tears. I guess that never ends.
Not really "not never", IT will end at some point.
It doesn’t; not really. My dad passed away 17 years ago, and it’s still there. I’m okay most of the time, though I miss him all the time. But there are still days that I am barely functional because the grief feels so heavy.
I feel like this for my beloved granny but never for my father. He was not some evil man but he never unerstood my right to be an independent person. He had always treated me just as a child belonging to him. My mother still treats me like this today... and she is 97 and I am 70 - having my own husband, children, grandchildren ... I have been longing for freedom away from my parents for 70 years now.
Don’t believe 👿 evil pray she has never ask Jesus Christ to forgive her and she stood with evil 👿 remember that!!
Great interview!! So real. You both expressed relationship issues and healing that many of us benefit from hearing. Thank you.
This level of honesty is exactly what we all need to be doing together. I thank both of you with all of my heart.
100 %
Yes, we need to discuss openly all the unpleasant things that are just part of the human condition. We’ve lost touch with our humanity.
thank you Jane Fonda for your authenticity and sharing
Wow. Jane Fonda in all her vulnerable glory. This is one of the best interviews between an anchor and a celebrity I've ever seen.
Henry Fonda needed to be in the movies. It was a safe place for him to have and express his deepest emotions.
Astute observation.
But his characters were very often like himself, stoic, 1 reason he was so great in Westerns, or as a man of conscience, like in 12 Angry Men & Mr. Roberts.
@@unowen-nh9ov Mr. Roberts was in my opinion one of the greatest films ever! I loved the part where Jack Lemmon (Ensign Pulver) was coming down the steps and finally ran into the Captain (James Cagney) who asked him who he was. "Well Ensign Pulver how long have you been on board?, SIX MONTHS!?, and I haven't seen you, "well I've been busy doing laundry and moral boosting, well Ensign Pulver we must have dinner some time" than Mr. Roberts (Henry Fonda) giving him the business for being scared of the captain, so cool, and such a good movie.
The hell does that mean
Classically. He WASN'T expressing HIS emotions in movies at all! That's the POINT! He was acting other emotions, SCRIPTED, therefore FAKE emotions.
As another commenter says, most of his roles were stoic emotionless men like him.
I read the book about her life she wrote a few years ago and got such insight into the real Jane Fonda. She has learned so many life lessons the hard way, but she did learn them. Jane Fonda is quite a lady!
Did she talk about why she's called Hanoi Jane?
@@jaymass1178 How are your hemorrhoids today?
@@antoniahamilton3201 my guess is they're not hanging outside for everyone to see unlike some other people that like to shake them in other people's faces!
@@jaymass1178
She's apologized for that and admitted to being wrong. People make mistakes - she never fired that AA gun, she only sat in the seat.
And she never turned over any notes.
@@antoniahamilton3201
That is an incredibly stupid statement.
What a very touching interview. She was so open. The interviewer was sensitive and let her speak. I don't know if I have ever seen Jane Fonda so vulnerable and open. My 90 year old father of Mexican descent has always been the emotional one in my family. My 89 year old mother of German and British descent has always been cold, dismissive, harsh and seems to not have the capacity for personal intimacy, human warmth, etc. I think she endured such harsh poverty and emotional deprivation that it's a wonder she was so materially successful in her life. Yet it was a hell world living with a cold mother and has an impact to her children and grandchildren.
Jane Fonda's mother died when she was 12. She was probably raised by nannies? She continues to be an amazing and admirable woman.
What a powerful interview. I thank her for her candidness and vulnerability.
Now I'm crying 😭
Yeah. I was unprepared to have her directly address my own struggle to understand my own father. Now I'm a wreck.
She made me cry too. I grew up in a similar matter where my Father never paid me compliments nor discussed important things with me. Communication was not his strong point and it affected my relationships also. I was always picking men like my Father. I understand why now and now prefer to stay single for what remains of it.
Maybe cry for the pilots in Vietnam who got shot down by a gun turret she was sitting on a laughing her azz off with the North Vietnamese.
😂🤣😂😅😅
You are a damn good interviewer, Chris Wallace.
Jane, you are wonderful!!
This is a powerful interview, and I can totally relate. Thank you, Jane and Chris for being so open.
We love you, Jane Fonda ❤️
Grace and Frankie was Hysterical as a comedy
So many women so love that show! Refreshing return to true comedy with the best timing and acting. Growth for the actresses and for the audience. The world was starving for good comedy and depth!
What an emotionally courageous interview. She really seemed to bare her true feelings. I've always found her inspiring.
She is just a scumgbag liberal actress.
Bullshit.
I find her uninspiring. Not a very nice person at all.
I love you Jane. I remember this scene, it still lives with me today. So many are unable to be vulnerable, but those of us who are willing,
it is a precious gift.
She reflects so many of us with our fathers, and not seeing what healthy relationships look like as we are growing up. Life is one long (we hope) learning experience. She is articulate and honest.
This was an amazing, very moving interview. I already liked and admired Jane, and now I love her even more. When she teared up about her father, I found that especially touching.
And she's so right that many of us around her age had fathers that weren't openly affectionate or emotional. Great interview. Thank you, Chris Wallace.
She IS a traitor
@@jetmirmetaliaj8521 😂
Hanoi Jane
She is an actress. It’s what she does. She provided aid and comfort to our enemies. That should never be forgotten.
She could have been an actress but she wound up here!
I just want to give Jane Fonda a hug. How hard it must be to see loved ones in such context.
Jane has always been involved in films that had powerful themes of cultural significance with corollaries to the current events at the time .
cat balloo. barbarella. coming home. china syndrome. dick and jane. nine to five. agnes of god are some of my favorite films of hers. diverse characters that show the range of her performance abilities.
She has her lingering critics from early boomers and silent gen who think anti-war protests she was involved with during Vietnam were unpatriotic. She also was at the forefront of the major health and fitness craze of the 80s with her workout videotapes as that technology was booming.
She looked really raw there… like she needed a hug ❤ ! I agree such a context as the movie is a life reflection.
Well done, Jane. You have always been an inspiration - so brave, even if you don't think so. Congratulations and thanks from a 77 year old across the big pond.
Such heart & authenticity.
What a wonderful interview .So Honest and vulnerable.Takes courage to do that👍❤️
It's crazy how hated she was by the American public once upon a time.
@Claude Charley- Was she eventually right about the war? Lots of anti-war activists usually are. Many who called out Bush, like the Dixie Chicks, got the same treatment. But they too were right.
@Claude Charley She was very young and has apologized for that on several occasions. I like people that can publicly admit their mistakes and ask for forgiveness.
@@rtorres4132 Pay attention, Amweicans have been @ war with one another before this country even existed, Jane wasn''t the only 1 against Vietnem, now you kill each in the streets, concerts, theatres & school grounds.
@@claudecharley9302 What about It, why do you think she made Coming Home?
I love Jane Fonda and with this interview in which she bared her emotions, misgivings, shyness, etc., I love and admire her even more. She's one hell of a lady. Kudos and thanks Chris.
a traitor
@@silentmajority8365 your shallow and one dimensional
Was she now? Shy? Jane? Ok…
She bared her SOUL, much like those pilots did writing notes to their families while being a POW. She took those notes and had them killed. SHES SO PRECIOUS! 🤣
Jane is a complete idiot
Thank you Jane for sharing your ❤️💜
The most real celebrity ever. Thank you for posting. A true and honest voice.
I feel the same about life and regret
One of her regrets was not sleeping with Marvin Gaye 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I can only imagine how hard that would be to watch scenes of her dad. I lost my mom 13 years ago, and while it sounds nice on paper to have a massive archive video footage of her, I can understand how it would also be extremely hard to watch !
Well I have trouble with pictures and tearing up, I can't imagine the pain and feelings of loss watching a Mother or Father on film.
@@christineblaszczyk1602 same. She's 85 and still aches for her dad. That feeling is forever.
This brings tears.
Oh I love you Jane! Your my kind of person!
she's so captivating.
My WW2 22YR Navy vet dad never told me he loved me, but he told me in his own way saying " No one in this life will do for you like me " I miss my dad to
WOW… that was the most honest interview with a celebrity I have ever seen. What an amazing lady, very impressive!!
Absolutely wonderful interview!! Jane is a firecracker!!
I have known Jane from cinema but knowing her up "personally" ,wow,she is real! amazing! what a great person!Thank you so much for this interview.
What a remarkable conversation. So emotional an honest and raw.
Great interview!! She was so real in this discussion. And knowing she is basically shy and is terrible at small talk is comforting because it is something I have struggled with all my 67 years. Thank you Jane for being honest and sincere.
Sending much love and blessings to you Jane 😊💚🙏
What a fantastic interview. I think Jane got a bum rap during the 1970's but jane plz forgive yourself for not being the mom you wish you were. I'm sorry that your mom did to you too, you deserved better. It's unfortunate your dad was born during a certain generation that couldn't show love very easily sometimes, however you've learned where your shortcomings are and your doing something to change it for the better, you should be congratulated on the good work you're doing. I wish you well.
Great interview...you gotta love Jane Fonda!
Depends on your generation. We older folks have long memories.
This lady is evil
Her grave will become the home of competitive pissing
There is something about Jane Fonda that just makes me cry. She is so fearless and honest and sincere and wise and beautiful and, and, and. I wish I could sit in the corner of a cocktail party and talk to her all night. I wish I was as brave as her. What a gift she has been to this world whether it has been through her activism or her entertaining us…she just keeps on giving. I love you Jane. Please live forever!!
Yes!
This woman has withstood a great deal in her lifetime. She's broken. And still trying to put the pieces back together. SURPRISE! She's human like the rest of us. Yet people continue to beat her up. I personally think she's a national treasure, and deserves her flowers. None of that other stuff matters anymore. This moment was touching.
I’m on your team. Those of us that are compassionate are lucky and should be proud.
Jane Fonda was only 35 years old when she sat on top of that North Vietnamese tank. She's now 83, and some people still blame her. Enough is enough! She's expressed her regrets, yet some will not forgive. Her openness during this interview was admirable.
She's not broken. She is brave and so REAL. Her sense of the journey...wow. I have a few political differences...BUT MY global respect and admiration...have been steadfast for generations. I think God, may have broken the mold...
Much adoration...I promise to follow your advice...starting, tomorrow.
Why is she a national treasure?
@@jackienaiditch7965 Exactly. And she didn’t really know what was going to happen with that picture. She didn’t know it would be used as propaganda. People just need to just leave her alone.
Of course I cried with her. Missing a parent you love never goes away... at any age. Wonderful interview
*Both of My Parents were Skuum!!!!*
dont care they are gone...
I miss my Mom every day. I had the honor of taking care of her in her last decade of life. Now I take care of my Dad. I love my parents so much. I had two husbands, can't see myself getting married again.
Touching to see Jane get emotional while viewing her father on screen. I am 63 y.o. I do not need a man & I am okay. Companion would be nice though. I miss my parents as well. So glad I was able to heal my relationship with them before they both transitioned.
Please Don't Judge me because I love The Lord. In America it seems you can be Proud about anything Bizarre and Unnatural , Strange and
Immoral except Jesus. Isaiah 5:20 warned us that a time will come when "Good will be considered Evil and Evil Good." Well I won't apologize for being Loud and Proud about my Faith in God. No Matter what you say or do to Me.

It takes a pretty strong person to survive a father who barely communicates with you, his daughter, and a mother who commits suicide when you're 12. Jane is that strong, brilliant, talented woman.
She's a traitor to her country
She was soooooo beautiful in Barbarella!! a hubba hubba!!!!
She’s a traitor. She should have gotten the firing squad.
It took me a while before I fund out that MOST families were at least as f'ed-up as mine... She isn't special, she is normal. Having a nice, tv family is a 1 in 1000 event. Even then, it's still fake, just look at how Dr. Huxtable really turned out.
Cheers.
I’m looking forward to dying too. Jane looks amazing by the way.
We have much in common Jane. I love you and God bless you.
I discovered her with Grace and Frankie and I have to admit, it is one of the best discoveries of my life 🖤 and listening to her, noticing some shared traits and quirks with her is an experience on its own. Thanks for delivering that 🖤👏🏻
How terrible to love your father immensely and receive no love in return is agonizing.
I don’t think it’s that she didn’t receive love in return. She told us he wept and for many parents who parent in this way that’s the language of love and forgiveness they are able to share in a way (form) that is beyond the words.
Love given in a different way
Sadly, as she said, many of us from a certain age group, and especially Midwestern, had this as our "normal" from both mother and father.
not to mention what he did to her mother
@@lordsatanicus1622 what did he do? I hadn't heard anything about that?
Jane, you my well not be afraid of dying, but you will be greatly missed.
Is it one of the best interviews I have ever heard.
Amazing Conversation
What amazes me is how this type of pain doesn’t leave at no matter what age. My 84 year old mother still agonises over the dysfunctional relationship with her abusive father who is long gone. The human condition is something else altogether
Hope your mom can find insight and peace over her relationship with her father. Most likely, he, too was a victim of horrific abuse and passed that along to her. I am 66 and have done years of deep inner work to deal with my father's abuse. I learned so much about what my father and his mother and siblings endured at the hands of his father. Who knows how many generations endured poverty, racism, extreme deprivation and abuse to get down to us. Healing, resolution, reconciliation and forgiveness and understanding are always possible.
@@motheryuba57 that’s very true, thank you for saying. Funny how most of our life can be spent dealing with the first 15 years of it
I get it, my mom is like this but hides it because she's been threw a lot an was an over achiever ,, I have the same fate I don't talk to any of my siblings or family either an I have issue because of family, I'm the youngest an only girl so I get it
There is no pain like the pain a child feels. And we carry our child self around with us all of our lives.
@@rsmith-wr7hc So tender and so true.
Love her so much. There is so much hard won wisdom in her.
One hell of an interview. Thank you, Chris and of course, Jane.
Love you Jane ❤️
I want to be like her when I’m older.
Yes, me too.
Me, too. Although I'm already old. So I'll just wish I was a cool as her.
Why not NOW?
You'd have to change your gender and make it in Hollywood
You want to be a traitor too? That’s weird.
She understands what life is all about.
Thanks Jane. I feel bad you’ve may have suffered. What a a challenging upbringing. I think you’re very talented and you’ve brought me joy 😊
Omg this got me crying in the middle of night!!
She has lead an amazing life!
Hanoi Jane
@@jaymass1178 ok?
She’s a traitor.
Jane communicating this helps so many! Ur life has been full of passion & trying to help the world. U did the best u could do at the time bc WHEN WE KNOW BETTER, WE DO BETTER! Parenting doesnt come with instructions we mirror what our parents did but u hopefully just opened souls WE CAN DO BETTER! Jane Fonda is not APATHETIC! God Bless & Stay Safe💜🙏💜💃
Oh this is so wonderful! I love her! I relate to her. Shine on Jane!
This was a great and very emotional interview..I love this lady and she is so sweet and strong and beautiful ..
.
Jane and Chris two of my favorite people! ❤
This is such an emotional interview. I teared up.
I just lost my parents a couple years back and also cannot look at pictures, or the many videos I have… Jane made me remember what my mom told me - that the pain & missing will never go away… which surprisingly made me feel more at peace & like a normal human being. My mom had your workout book in the 80s - she had an intense professional life & was a lioness just like you, Jane! Thank you for your candid interview & your beautiful soul! ♡
She seems like such a nice, sensitive down to earth person. The people she found to talk to in the corner of room at cocktail parties were lucky to get to known her. Also she looks wonderful. I think she’s better looking now than when she was younger.
I loved, loved, loved this interview. So real! So special! Thank you Chris for this! ❣
I found that when you have situations like this with your father or mother and you feel distant, the only way you can go is back and I mean back to their childhood. I had two loving parents but they brought damaged into their marriage from their childhood. Actually unresolved damage. My mother was raped by her father and my dad had a deadbeat dad and a stepfather that beat him so bad and so much that he wound up being raised by his grandfather. There are things in our childhood that if we don't come to terms with them we can bring them into our children
Glad that you achieved emotional peace and normalcy.
Absolutely without a doubt, I see my parents in myself and I see the way parents treat their kids and it sad .
I've never married, but it's interesting to see that my sister saw that our childhood was not what it should have been. She married a wonderful guy and they have two very happy, highly successful children. No life is idyllic but hers is pretty close.
My brother, on the other hand, although successful and married to the same, wonderful woman, interestingly made the exact same parenting mistakes with their children as my parents did, and are still reaping what they sowed some 30 years later, which has resulted in much acrimony in their family. He and his wife are close, but their boys struggle with life.
@@ksc743 my sister and I both had our tubes tied a long time ago. We refused to pass our parents wicked genes
@@SUGAR_XYLER
No disrespect, but we can alter the course of past mistakes. I know many people who have done exactly the opposite of how their parents raised them. That must be so satisfying!! Not to say they won't make their own mistakes, but there are mistakes, and then there's plain neglect and deliberate power over those who have no choice but to endure it.
It is also powerful for people to see that everyone has painful issues that are challenging in our lives. I think we assume bc someone is successful they don’t go through these difficulties. This is the most vulnerable I have ever seen Jane. I love you Jane. Thank you for always being a role model for us all. ❤
She is a beautiful human being. I love her so much. Thank you for this. ❣️
I love her❤
Amazing interview. Took away so much. This is the model for all real interviews.
So sad, the bottling of emotion the stunted ability to share and express ……… so much love and respect for Jane Fonda ❤❣️❤️❣️❤️
Watching from Oak Cliff, TX
She is amazing.
Fantastic interview! I love and admire her even more - thank you Ms Fonda and Mr Wallace.
Beautiful, honest interview - rare from Hollywood. Thank you Jane.
Amazing, inspiring woman. I would love to meet her.
Proof! The parental relationship is everything! And even at 80+ she weeps. Beautiful interview ❤
There is nothing like a father and daughter relationship.
Jane, you are such an inspiration and a cool and warm woman. Thank you for being you. Aloha.
Thank you both for this wonderful interview. I feel so much from Jane. What a gift.
This woman is amazing! ❤

She IS a crazy libéral psycho
She's a traitor
@@jaymass1178 ohhh...please...
you must have been perfect when you were young...
@@jaymass1178 a traitor? Do you know the problems - medically and physically - that Vietnam veterans came home with? What the US put both their own soldiers and the Vietnamese people through was freaking horrific.
"Not scared of dying" coming from someone who made it their life mission to strive against God.
CEN - Childhood Emotional Neglect - it's a THING. Thank you, Jane, for telling your story, and bringing attention to an issue that has been largely hidden until now.
Blessings
I love how honest and transparent she is.
More conversational than an interview...really beautiful from two of our era's fabulous minds
I love you Jane Fonda, you are a legend. I love tell it like it is , I love your honesty and your raw emotional truth. I’m so sorry about your childhood and I’m surprised your dad wasn’t more close to you after your mom passed. But I’m so happy you made amends with him before he died. I too loved my father but I didn’t get everything I needed from him . I was there when he was dying but he didn’t say anything to fix or close chapters no apologies. So I totally relate to you. I loved On Golden Pond. ❤❤❤ to you Jane.
Very powerful. Thank you.
This is the saddest 😢 relationship between Jane and Henry, her dad, and the movie On Golden Pond was so touching! It's a classic and just priceless film. Love you Ms Fonda!!!!
