Jane Fonda: The GOAT

Alex Cooper
About this episode

Jane Fonda joins Call Her Daddy to offer her invaluable advice and wisdom. Jane talks about the importance of female friendship and reflects on the difficult times in her life that friendship helped her overcome. She speaks candidly about the pressure of being cast as the “girl next door" and the objectification that led to a 20 year battle with bulimia. Jane was married and divorced three times and now recognizes a pattern within those relationships. She worked hard to please her husbands and always prioritized their needs above her own. Jane admits she didn’t figure life out until she reached her 60’s, when her understanding of love, relationships and feminism began to shift. Jane Fonda stars in 80 For Brady which is in theaters February 3rd! You can get your tickets here: https://www.80forbrady.com/ This episode includes discussion of eating disorders.
