Headline: JANE FONDA EXPRESSES REGRET
Reality: But only for posing with gun.
Jane Fonda says her visit to a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun site in 1972, an incident that brought her the nickname "Hanoi Jane," was a betrayal of American forces and "the largest lapse of judgment that I can even imagine.""The image of Jane Fonda, 'Barbarella,' Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal," Ms. Fonda told Lesley Stahl of CBS News in an interview that is scheduled for broadcast Sunday night on "60 Minutes."
Ms. Fonda, whose memoir "Jane Fonda: My Life So Far" comes out next week, said she did not regret meeting with American P.O.W.'s in North Vietnam or making broadcasts on Radio Hanoi.
"Our government was lying to us, and men were dying because of it, and I felt I had to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war," she said.
NY Daily News has a reaction from VFW spokesman
"Some things can never be forgiven," said Joe Davis, a spokesman for the Veterans of Foreign Wars, which has more than 2 million members. "Jane Fonda falls into that category."The story also contains this bit of info:
Actress and aerobics queen Jane Fonda says in a "60 Minutes" interview set to air Sunday that she engaged in threesomes with hookers and strangers to satisfy her first husband, French film director Roger Vadim."It was the '60s and whatever," Fonda said.
Not surprising: She's touring to promote her new autobiography.
Update:
According to this story in the Miami Herald from mid-March, Fonda's publicity people were working hard to deny the allegations that Jane was forced to sleep with other women. The claim first appeared in the British tabloid The Mirror.
Update: Here's the original March 16 story from the Daily Mail, that also alleges:
She believes Vadim's behaviour echoed that of her father, Henry Fonda, during her childhood.Her mother, socialite Frances Seymour, had mental health problems and committed suicide when Miss Fonda was 12.
Okay, sorry I started this...
