Jane Fonda Says Playing a Sex Object Was the 'Easy Road' to Fame

Jane Fonda regrets that she began her career as a sex symbol. At a Sundance Film Festival event on Monday morning, Fonda, 77, and her longtime friend Lily Tomlin, 75 discussed their experiences as women in Hollywood through the decades. In Fonda’s case, she took her career into her own hands in order to change the “sex kitten” image that was bestowed on her in the late 1960s, particularly after she made the campy movie Barbarella.
