Thanks!

You are truly an inspiration to me. Your body of work in films has always been wonderful and of course my family’s favorite “ON GOLDEN POND’, is truly a treasure.

I wish that you could bring the show to Chicago.

I happened to be at a fund raiser Sunday March 15th for the Museum of Broadcast Communications and they honored Betty White. The reason I am bringing this up is that someone had asked her who would she love to meet and her answer was Robert Redford.

Thank you for all that you do.

4 items for you:

1) Really enjoy your blog. I will have to admit, I did not go searching the Internet for Jane Fonda’s blog — no offense, but there’s just so much Out There and so little time, and I’m not an Internet expert or a real proficient net “surfer.” Found your blog by accident, while scanning NY Times headlines. And I find that I LIKE your blog, and type in & pull it up almost every day at work.

2) I LOVE the photographs you posted of the quotes from your play’s reviews: I printed out a copy of those pictures, cut them out, & put them up in front of the desk in my studio where I write. I love New York and Broadway and the whole Thing — your photos seemed to capture what I like about NYC.

3) The photographs you posted of you & Robert Redford, then you and Tom Hanks inspired me to mention — two of my favorite movies which I’ve been playing relatively often lately are “All The President’s Men” and “Charlie Wilson’s War” — so Mr.’s Redford and Hanks have been on TV at my house on a pretty regular basis — just an interesting and enjoyable coincidence to see these two guys hanging out with you!

4) This is a random bit of information which I found interesting and pass along to you because of your interests / activism, etc. — after learning that radio commentator Paul Harvey had passed, I was looking up extra info about him: he is so popular here in the midwest, & in the 80s I worked as a disc jockey on a local country radio station where I sat with reel-to-reel tape of Paul Harvey’s show, playing on-air, & I’d have to be listening intently to catch the commercial-break places & quickly stop the tape & play the ads! –(seems “pre-historic,” technologically, now…!)

With all that precise listening, I got to be a fan of his genius as a communicator — some of his conservative stands I agreed with, some I didn’t — now, Come to find out — the bio’s of him on the Internet tell us that he initially supported Vietnam War but CHANGED HIS STAND in 1970 when Pres. Nixon expanded the war– both accounts I read today stated that Paul Harvey changed his stand & said it in his radio show — “Mr. President, I love you but you’re wrong.”
This netted him a bunch of aggravated letters from his more conservative listeners who expected him to keep his opinion the same, + a letter from the White House…! (I was in 5th grade in 1970, so was unaware of this.) Found it interesting.

Keep up the excellent blog. My indoor cats, Chess and Genie, say “Hello” to Tulea.
