Two-time Oscar-winning actress Jane Fonda was born to legendary actor Henry Fonda and Frances Ford Seymour on December 21, 1937. Since then, she has prospered in her own career through her acting and political activism.
In the 1960s Jane Fonda got her first starring role in Tall Story as June Ryder. However, most people say she made her career breakthrough in Cat Ballou playing the title character beside Oscar winner Lee Marvin. She started to make a name for herself with great reviews and became a sex symbol as she played the title role in Barbaella. Renowned film critic Pauline Kael noted, “Fonda goes all the way with it, as screen actresses rarely do once they become stars.” By the end of the decade, she was having to turn down many roles including leading characters in Bonnie and Clyde and Rosemary’s Baby. During this decade, she also performed in four Broadway shows.
