Jane Fonda

With a career spanning over six decades, Jane Fonda has captivated audiences not only through her artistry on screen but also through her fearless commitment to driving meaningful change.

She has been a steadfast ally to the LGBTQ+ community, offering vocal and visible support even when it was rare and politically risky to do so. Her consistent advocacy for Indigenous Americans has highlighted issues of sovereignty, environmental justice, and cultural preservation. An avid climate activist, she launched the Jane Fonda Climate PAC and continues her activism through Fire Drill Fridays.

Fonda is a dynamic and inspiring keynote speaker, known for her ability to captivate audiences with her passion, and authenticity. Drawing from decades of activism, filmmaking, and personal growth, she combines her unique life experiences with a forward-thinking vision for change.

In 2019, daunted by the looming disaster of climate change and inspired by Greta Thunberg, Naomi Klein, and student climate strikers, Fonda asked herself one question: What can I do? Her book by the same name is a compelling and personal account of her journey into climate activism. The book combines deeply personal stories with accessible scientific insights, offering readers practical advice for taking meaningful action. Organized around key climate issues, such as fossil fuels, water, and biodiversity, Fonda outlines steps individuals can take to combat climate change while inspiring hope and collective engagement.

In May 2005, Random House published Fonda’s memoir, My Life So Far, which immediately went to #1 on The New York Times bestseller list. That same spring, Monster-in-Law, her first film in 15 years, also became the #1 box office hit making Fonda the first person to simultaneously have a #1 book and #1 movie. Her book Prime Time, released in 2011, offers a comprehensive guide to living life to the fullest, particularly beyond middle age. Her 2014 book, Being A Teen, is an all-encompassing guide to adolescence, and provides advice to teenagers (and their parents) on health, identity, relationships, sex, and more.

Jane Fonda’s work on stage and screen has earned her two Academy Awards® (Best Actress in 1971 for Klute and in 1978 for Coming Home), three Golden Globes®, an Emmy for her performance in The Dollmaker, and a Tony Award nomination for her role in Moisés Kaufman’s 33 Variations, on Broadway. Along with starring roles in dozens of highly acclaimed productions, Fonda also took on responsibilities as a film and television producer. In 2007, Fonda received an Honorary Palme d’Or from the Cannes Film Festival— one of only three people ever to be granted this honor until then—and was the 2014 recipient of the American Film Institute’s Life Achievement Award.

She is a member of the Women & Foreign Policy Advisory Committee of the Council on Foreign Relations and serves on the board of the Women’s Media Center, which she co-founded with Gloria Steinem, Robin Morgan, and Jessica Neuwirth in 2004. Fonda is also a board member of V-Day: Until The Violence Stops, a global movement to end violence against women and girls founded by Eve Ensler, creator of The Vagina Monologues.

At Emory University School of Medicine, Fonda established the Jane Fonda Center for Adolescent Reproductive Health. The center conducts research, develops curricula, and trains professionals to enhance services for children, youth, and families. Fonda’s endowment of the Marion Howard Chair in Adolescent Reproductive Health further supports advancements in reproductive health within Emory’s Department of Gynecology and Obstetrics.

In 1994, Fonda was named a Goodwill Ambassador for the United Nations Population Fund. She later produced the film Generation 2000: Changing Girls’ Realities in collaboration with the International Women’s Health Coalition, documenting her travels to Nigeria and promoting global health initiatives.
