Jane Fonda is a lot of things: she's an Oscar-winning acting scion, a longtime political activist and philanthropist, a former model, and an '80s fitness guru. The 85-year-old actor is also a mother to her three kids, Vanessa Vadim, Troy Garity, and Mary Luana Williams.
In the 2018 HBO documentary "Jane Fonda in Five Acts," Fonda reflected on her career highs and lows as well as the men who influenced and guided her life, including her famous father, actor Henry Fonda, and her former flames. In fact, three of the "five acts" explored Fonda's past unions, and she shedded light on how each of them helped shape the woman she is today - for better or for worse. The actor also talked openly about attraction, sexual chemistry, and the starry-eyed magic of her wild, whirlwind relationships. Keep reading to find out more about the men Fonda has married.

Jane Fonda is opening up about a traumatic experience from her childhood.
In a candid interview with actress Brie Larson for The Edit, the Grace and Frankie star reveals for the first time that she was sexually abused.
Watch: 5 Things We Love About Jane Fonda
"To show you the extent to which a patriarchy takes a toll on females, I've been raped," she says. "I've been sexually abused as a child."
"I know young girls who've been raped and didn't even know it was rape," she continues. "They think, 'It must have been because I said 'no' the wrong way.' One of the great things the women's movement has done is to make us realize that [rape and abuse is] not our fault. We were violated and it's not right."
Fonda also told the Room star that she was once fired from a job, all because she wouldn't accept her boss' sexual advances.

You’ll forgive me for not getting to legendary film actress Jane Fonda‘s 76th birthday on Saturday. I needed the entire weekend to calibrate this list of her finest movie looks.
Jane Fonda is not only a double Oscar winner with a marvelously versatile list of roles. She’s one of our most consummately giving celebrity philanthropists, an informed activist for women’s emotional health and gay rights, and a woman who seems to value honesty and conscience above all else. To celebrate her legacy, let’s look back on her ten best movie looks, which range from the innocent (#10) to the boldly self-possessed (#1).
10. Tall Story: Sis-boom-beautiful
Jane’s first film was a simple college comedy about a nervous cheerleader (Jane) and her romance with the school’s hotshot basketball star (Anthony Perkins, lol). In her memoir, she discusses how she found costume fittings almost traumatizing and had...

The Birds And The Bees. Mother Nature Network columnist Vanessa Vadim, whose latest column focuses on eco-friendly sex. Mother Nature Network eco-columnist Vanessa Vadim typically doles out environmentally friendly advice on prosaic items such as cookware, mosquito repellants, and compost piles. In her latest installment, Vadim tackles the, um, ins-and-outs of sex toys and other sexual accoutrements. The daughter of the late French director Roger Vadim (And God Created Woman, Night Games) and actress Jane Fonda (sweaty workout videos, rebellious photo-ops), Vadim posits that, thanks to a complete lack of government regulation, sexual paraphernalia is fraught with nastiness—and that’s before you take off the wrapper. Antiquated laws require that sex toys be labeled as novelties or as gags, not as something that stimulates or enhances the sexual experience. Thus, with no regulation, there is absolutely no product testing and no label warnings. Among the biggest hazards to your health: phthalates,...
