Jane
Fonda is very famous. She grew up in a famous family, and she married
a famous man, and she is famous on her own for at least five
different reasons.
1)
She is an actress. She's been in movies such as On
Golden Pond (and her
real-life father, Henry Fonda, played her movie dad), on Broadway,
and on TV shows such as The
Newsroom and Grace
and Frankie. She
has been nominated for gobs of awards (including SEVEN Oscars!) and
has won two Emmys, two Academy Awards, two BAFTA Awards, and four
Golden Globe Awards.

2)
She has been called a “fitness guru,” because she has promoted
exercise and fitness and has sold hugely popular and profitable
exercise videos and books. (I used to use them, back in the day!)
3)
Like many celebrities, Fonda has written about her life in a
published book, and she also writes a blog.
4)
Fonda used to be a model, back in the day. These days, celebrities —
especially well-known actresses — often fill the roles in print ads
and commercials that models used to fill, and Fonda recently became a
“new” (older) face for L’Oreal Cosmetics.

5)
Like many rich, famous people, Fonda does a lot of charitable works,
but she is known even more for her activism.
Back in the 1970s, she
was remarkable (and often criticized) for her stance against the
Vietnam War.
She has been very vocal in feminist causes, and she has supported Native American and environmental causes, and has opposed the Iraq War.
