SEEING JANE FONDA

Dear Friends,

We recently heard the major celebrity Jane Fonda speak at a book store in the Los Angeles area. I had seen and heard her speak before several years ago. Both time she really impresses me as being a very genuine person as well as a talented writer. I bought her new book PRIME TIME and it too is impressive.

In PRIME TIME as well as in her speaking, Ms. Fonda clearly makes her point about how people at any age can truly choose to be totally involved in their life as it unfolds.

I did not realize until I heard her speaking about herself and her book that she has had critical medical issues with hip, knee, eyesight and even cancer. She also lost her mother to suicide at the age of twelve which she blamed herself for even as she grew older. She went through several intense marriages and relationships and even to this day is still hated by groups because of her political expressions during the Viet Nam War. Her career has had it's blazing and baffling moments and she has been criticized and made fun of for her exercise video creations.

This is a complex vision of female power pretty hard to understand except when you consider her enormous talent as an actress, her lasting and classic beauty, and her charismatic ability to speak to a room of hundreds of people as though she is speaking only to you. I like Jane Fonda and I like her new book. She has learned how to live the good life and even better how to share it.

If you too have seen her or read her book or have thoughts about her work, write to me and let me know what you think. amber@ambersilverstar.com.
