Summary
Now in her 60s, Jane Fonda looks back over a life in which she won Oscars for her roles in Klute and Coming Home and produced blockbuster hits Nine to Five and On Golden Pond. And with unflinching honesty she addresses the tragedy of her mother's suicide; her turbulent relationship with her father, Henry Fonda, her lovers and husbands, her passions and political views.

Great book, read by Jane Fonda
Really enjoyed this book, always a better listen when the author themselves read it, it almost feels like they are talking to you 121.
this was a great listen, but I took off one star, as it felt like the most recent act (last couple of decades) were rushed through, hearing the warmth Jane spoke of her family, was lovely, but I guess it is her families privacy she was protecting. the book went up to the new millennium plus a little, which I know took us to where it was written, but just felt like the last hour or so was rushed
don't get me wrong, this was a great listen and really felt I got to know more about the great Jane Fonda and what inspired and challenged her, a very worthwhile read/listen still

What a woman!
What a fascinating life story and told so brilliantly by the author herself. Jane’s voice is captivating - she never falters, stutters or pauses- and her use of language is exquisite.
I had always suspected that the poignancy of the father/daughter relationship in ‘on Golden Pond’ was a reflection of her own relationship with her father, but to hear it explained in such an honest way, brought tears to my eyes. Her description (and mimicking) of the wondrous Katherine Hepburn is so revealing.
Jane possesses a rich self-awareness which is breathtaking - she invites you into her soul.
I was so sorry when this book finished. A must-listen- to if ever there was one,

It takes time to become whole
Jane Fonda reads her own story to us and takes the veil off celebrity and patriarchy. It is high time we allow women and girls the right to be fully themselves and this is a great roadmap. Thank you so much! 💓

Lovely Authentic Biography
Ms Fonda's book really resonated in parts and made me question in others. An interesting read, stripping away the celebrity and getting an in-depth view into a mature insight into the world we think we live in, as well as the world we actually inhabit; in all facets - physical, emotional, psychological.

Amazing, empowering book
I have always loved Jane Fonda, my first experience was watching my mum do her exercise video when I was little! This book is fantastic, real truth in it and what she went through with the political movement is empowering, amazing woman! Also if your reading my review watch her in grace and frankie, funny as hell!

A very honest book
I grew up as a child hearing about Jane in the 60's.
To hear about her life was very uplifting & I understand her alot more now.

Honest, unflinching and inspiring!
This is Jane as who she was and who she became, in her own voice and openly discussing her errors of judgement, her relationships and her growth. Enjoyed every word.

Suprising, honest and fascinating.
The Jane Fonda I expected to find, based on who I see in the media, is not the woman uncovered in this story. The contrast is both fascinating and truly delightful. This is a beautifully raw story of self discovery, and one we arguably all can learn from.

Great!
I do love this woman, I fell in love when doing her exercise videos in the 90s, so my opinion is swayed by that for which I make no apology. Real time tale about going around the houses to find your happy, only to find you had it inside you all along. A celebrity version of the Alchemist, thanks for sharing Ms F!
