Jane Fonda On Her New Movie, “book Club,” Senior Sex And The Brown Palace Hotel

Jane Fonda still knows how to drop a provocative quote. The 80-year-old’s film career is splashed with them, of course. And certain quarters of our culture — particularly the older, more conservative ones — have never forgotten or forgiven her protests of the Vietnam War, nearly half a century after she first registered them. But despite being famous for at least that long, Fonda is not always given credit for her verbal savvy, which serves her as well in press junkets as her ongoing feminist and anti-war activism. When asked, for example, where she took inspiration for her hard-charging character Vivian in the new movie “Book Club,” an ensemble dramedy about rediscovering love (and sex) later in life, she doesn’t hesitate in her answer.
