I knew a little bit about Jane Fonda when I started listening to the audiobook so I had a lot to learn. It's always nice to dismantle pre-conceived notions you have of who you think someone is based on the tiny sliver you see of them via media. The most interesting parts of the book, for me, were when she talked about her activist experiences, particularly when talking to veterans. The Waterbury story was really interesting. I found that the last 10 minutes of the audiobook, which Fonda read, thank goodness, were really insightful and I wish she had written more. Of course, it may be that at that time in her life, she was starting a new chapter and maybe that will continue in another book! It's fascinating to me that someone who had such a strong voice in her career, acting roles and activism could shrink so much in her personal life. But I do think that's common so I wasn't surprised per see. I was intrigued and wanted to know more about her life after her relationship with Ted Turner was over. I could have listened to many more chapters on that and on Fonda herself and what she learned. I want to know more about how she found her voice and how she used it. I'm really glad I read this book. I often wished I had a hard copy so I could underline certain poignant passages, especially toward the end of the book, when Fonda briefly touched upon patriarchy, gender roles and feminism. --------------------------------------------------------------------- TW: Sexual assault, one brief mention of animal abuse, wartime violence, trauma in childhoods. The aura of Jane Fonda as an actor, and an activist, a feminist, and a wife, a daughter, a workout guru, a role model and a soul of style and struggle is as bright as a big star. One of the most loving and inspiring account on how much life can be packed in 60+ years. My Life So Far by Jane Fonda is about woman living a remarkable life on the pages of extraordinary intimacy and private truths. My favourite biography. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

HTML:She is one of the most recognizable women of our time. America knows Jane Fonda as an actress and an activist, a feminist and a wife, a workout guru and a role model. Now, in this extraordinary memoir, Fonda reveals that she is so much more. From her youth among Hollywood??s elite and her early film career to the challenges and triumphs of her life today, Jane Fonda reveals intimate details and universal truths that she hopes ??can provide a lens through which others can see their lives and how they can live them a little differently.? Fonda divides her ??life so far? into three ??acts,? writing about her childhood, first films, and marriage to Roger Vadim in Act One. At once a picture emerges: a child born to the acting legend Henry Fonda and the glamorous society princess Frances Seymour. But these early years are also marked by profound sadness: her mother??s mental illness and suicide when Jane is twelve years old, her father??s emotional distance, and her personal struggle to find her way in the world as a young woman. By her second act, Fonda lays the foundation for her activism, even as her career takes flight. She highlights her struggle to live consciously and authentically while remaining in the public eye as she recounts her marriages to Tom Hayden and Ted Turner, and examines her controversial and defining involvement with the Vietnam War. As her film career grows, Fonda learns to incorporate her roles into a larger vision of what matters most in her life??and in the process she wins two Academy Awards, for Klute and for Coming Home. In Fonda??s third act, she is prepared to do the work of a lifetime??to begin living consciously in a way that might inspire others who can learn from her experiences. Surprising, candid, and wonderfully written, Jane Fonda??s My Life So Far is filled with universal insights into the personal struggles Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
