I sat down with Jane Fonda at the Cannes Film Festival, the day after she took the stage at the Palais des Festivals alongside Gong Li, to declare the ceremony open. One of the festival’s highlights this year was the celebration honoring Jane Fonda for her 20th milestone anniversary as global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris. At 88, she reflects on becoming a L’Oréal Paris ambassador at the age of 68. She shares her insights on self-worth, as well as staying hopeful and active. I know, I know, this episode is short. I wish I’d had more time with Jane Fonda — but honestly, every minute with her is pure gold. Follow the podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify and my Instagram @laureguilbault

No one embodies the concept of change and durability in one lifetime like Jane Fonda. She started out as what some might call a Nepo Baby, the daughter of Henry Fonda, an actor who was considered Hollywood royalty. During her long career, Jane Fonda has appeared in more than 50 films, earning Oscars for Best Actress for her roles in Klute and Coming Home. Fonda became as famous for her politics as she did for her acting roles. Her anti-Vietnam war activities earned her the nick name of Hanoi Jane. She also became a fitness guru. Now that her successful Netflix series Grace and Frankie has ended , Fonda says she's devoting herself to combating the climate crisis. And as an 86-year three-time divorcee, Fonda says she's no longer interested in romance or sex. She just wants to make the world a better place. "Now What?" is produced with the help of Steve Zimmer, Lucy Little and Jackie Schwartz. Audio production is by Nick Ciavatta.

In 1977, the new film starring Jane Fonda was “Julia”. It’s about the writer Lillian Hellman’s lifelong friendship with Julia, a wealthy American who fought against the Nazis when they invaded the university she was attending in Vienna. I worked at KRE radio in Berkeley and it was rare for me to land an interview with an A level celebrity. The publicist had told me to meet Ms. Fonda at the Stanford Court Hotel on Nob Hill, in her suite. Jane Fonda was not only an actress at the time but a major anti-war activist and environmentalist. That’s what gave her hero status for me. I was nervous as I knocked on the door of her suite. Twenty-three year-old me, about to interview Jane freakin’ Fonda. She answered the door herself, wearing jeans and a sweater – like a normal person. Whoa. I’d expected a whole staff or at least a personal assistant. She seemed to be alone as she welcomed me in, so warmly it was like we were longtime friends. The space was gorgeous but stiffly formal, with silk upholstered Louis IV style furniture in a range of beige tones. I got the sense that she’d be more comfortable in a big burgundy velvet arm chair. As soon as we sat down, and I started setting up my cassette player and microphone on the mahogany end table, she asked, “Joanne, do you by any chance have a cigarette?” “Actually, I do,” I said, flabbergasted that she needed something from me. ‘Would you mind if we shared one? I barely smoke and I don’t buy my own but every now and then…like right now…I just want to have a few puffs.” “Happy to,” I said, pulling my pack of Marlboros out of my purse. It was the hard pack I loved – at least at that moment in my smoking life. We shared a cigarette, which I lit with a match before smelling the Sulphur, a habit I maintain to this day ….it smells so good…. It was like two high school girls, sneaking a cig before class. With every puff, I tried not to physically pinch myself. Am I really sitting here, in an extravagant San Francisco Hotel suite, chit chatting with the Jane Fonda. “One more thing” she said, before I hit record to start the actual interview. “Can this cigarette be our secret? I have a reputation to uphold!” “Absolutely,” I said. The statute of limitations on that secret is surely up by now, don’t you think? Joanne’s book, “By Accident: A Memoir of Letting Go” is now available from your favorite online book seller. Stay tuned to hear if Joanne will be speaking at a bookstore near you.

It’s Jane Fonda y’all! Jane stopped by Manny’s right before the midterms to talk about this critical election. She knows, as we all know, that we are on the precipice of climate disaster. We are no longer just imagining how the world will look in a disrupted climate; we’re seeing and feeling the reality of the climate crisis every single day as we witness and experience wildfires, heat waves, and floods destroying communities. In 2020, the fossil fuel industry poured $139 million into our elections – to politicians of both parties. This money has real consequences. Major solutions are stopped cold, like the Green New Deal, Build Back Better, clean energy investments, and initiatives to end billions in tax subsidies to the fossil fuel industry — all because of politicians backed by Big Oil. It’s not too late to change our course. But it won’t happen as long as oil, gas, and coal companies maintain their stranglehold on American politics. Earlier this year, she started the Jane Fonda Climate PAC to elect local, state, and federal leaders who will rise to the urgency of this moment and stand up to the fossil fuel industry. The PAC leverages the donations of those who are climate concerned to counter the outsized influence the fossil fuel industry has on our government. Jane wants politicians who support oil and gas to be as afraid for their jobs as we are about the impending climate disaster.
