Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda has always made interesting choices with regard the roles she has accepted and her choices prove she is not afraid to take risks. Cat Ballou was Jane Fonda's first big movie in which she starred with Lee Marvin. A year later Jane Fonda starred in The Chase with Marlon Brando and, at the time, an unknown Robert Redford. A year after that Jane made what, in my opinion, is her best film, the Neil Simon classic, Bare Foot In The Park, where she starred again with Robert Redford. Fonda and Redford were brilliant with Fonda proving her comedic timing is faultless. I thought Jane Fonda was hillarious in that film. After "Barefoot", Jane starred in Barbarella, proving to the world she wasn't afraid to explore and exploit her considerable sex appeal. Barbarella, although a tongue-in-cheek film was seriously titillating for its time, almost wandering off into areas of soft porn - remember, I was a cheeky and very horny ten year old when the film was released and my mates in school discussed the film in earnest whispers! After titillating us, Jane Fonda goes from starring in a spoof to starring in the Sidney Pollack classic, They Shoot Horses Don't They.

Other classics in Jane Fonda's career include Klute, Nine To Five and a reunion with Robert Redford in The Electric Horseman and, of course, I must not forget to mention The China Syndrom where Jane Fonda starred with Jack Lemmon and Michael Douglas. But, in my opinion, Jane Fonda's greatest moment came when she purchased the film rights for On Golden Pond because she wanted to be in a fim with her father, Henry Fonda. It is a fantastic piece of drama and Jane recognised the script reflected a little of her troubled relationship with her father. Henry Fonda won his only Oscar for best actor for his role, but he was too ill to attend the ceremony so Jane accepted on his behalf. Henry Fonda died 5 months later. But even though Jane and Henry's relationship was difficult, I would like to think that the fact it was Jane who purchased the rights to the film that won Henry his only Oscar would have gone a long way to heal any rift that remained...

The Hollywood Movie History

The greats of the silent movie period included Rudolf Valentino, Mary Pickford, Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, Laurel & Hardy and a whole host of stars whose talents live on in the many characters they portrayed. Jean Harlow is perhaps the most successful of the stars who began their career in the silent era and whose star continued in ascendancy into the talkies. The western film genre has been the birth place for many great film stars, not least of which is the Great John Wayne. Blockbuster movies dominated the 80's and 90's with Silvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis competing for the title greatest action hero of them all... and then Matt Damon brought Ludlum's character Jason Bourne to life all too vividly and a whole new action hero was born.
And, although great women's roles are still all to rare, Vivien Leigh's Scarlet O'Hara in Gone With The Wind, Marilyn Monroe's Sugar Kane in Some Like It Hot, Grace Kelly as Tracy Lord in High Society, Michelle Pfeifer in the Baker Boys and Julie Roberts in Erin Brockovich are just a few great and memorable perfomances I have experience by women in the movies...
