Jane Fonda was born in New York City in 1937. One might have thought this beautiful daughter of one of the finest actors ever, Henry Fonda, would have immediately gone into movies, but it wasn't until she was 23 that she first appeared in a movie (starring in Tall Story in 1960 opposite Anthony Perkins). She appeared mostly in romantic movies the next few years. In 1964 she starred in French director Roger Vadim's La Ronde, and the following year she married him. She starred in his Barbarella in 1968, causing a sensation by appearing mostly nude. The following year her career took a major new turn with her starring role in They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, marking the beginning of her "serious" acting stage. She won the Best Actress Oscar for Klute in 1971, and in 1973 she divorced Vadim, and married anti-War activist Tom Hayden, and briefly "retired" to become a mother and full-time anti-War protester. In 1972 she went to Hanoi in North Vietnam (while the war was being fought) and she supported the North Vietnamese, which earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane" and the everlasting hatred of a significant segment of the U.S. population (many years later she apologized and said, "It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done"). She returned to movies in 1976, and had several significant roles in popular movies of all sorts, such as: China Syndrome (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Julia (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Klute (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Coming Home (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), Nine To Five, Morning After (nominated for the Best Actress Academy Award for this film), and in 1981 she co-starred with her father in On Golden Pond (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film). In 1982 she started the aerobics craze with her "Jane Fonda's Workout" video, which sold 17 million copies. She later said that from age 13 to 37 she suffered from bulimia. In 1989 she divorced Hayden and in 1991, when it seemed she could not possibly shock anyone anymore, she married wacko media mogul Ted Turner. Her movie appearances have been few in recent years. In 2000 she again surprised the world when she separated from Turner and announced she was a born again Christian! As of 2023, she is still alive at the age of 85.

Important Added Info: Note that this agreement has been personally autographed (signed) by Jane Fonda! It is a preliminary agreement between Mansfield Productions Inc. and Jane Fonda that was drawn up in January 1959, when the movie Parrish first went into production. The production company was hiring her to let them put her through a series of tests to see if she was "suitable" to play the role of Alison (or any other part) in the movie Parrish, which was not made for two more years. To us, it seems pretty humiliating, because they say that they need to determine whether her "physical appearance, acts, and poses" would show that she was suitable, and that she "hereby admits that making said tests at her request, is a good and valuable consideration"! The agreement gave the production company 60 days after the completion of the tests to hire her at their discretion, but that they could choose to not hire her instead, and that if she did not show up for the tests, they would have the right to sue her! Miss Fonda signed this preliminary agreement on the last page, but the production company then made revisions to it, so they did not sign this preliminary agreement (see our images of all the pages). Our consignor purchased this from a reputable dealer, and given that it is an agreement which MUST be signed by the actual person, we feel 100% certain it has a genuine autograph, but our consignor does not have a certificate of authenticity.
