Broadway’s ‘33 Variations’ a new play written and directed by Moises Kaufman features Jane Fonda as Dr. Katherine Brandt and Zach Grenier (background) as Ludwig Van Beethoven.

New York — Jane Fonda says critics “excoriated” her 2005 movie, “Monster-in-Law,” a popcorn comedy with Jennifer Lopez that marked her return to filmmaking after a 15-year hiatus. But Fonda says the project relaunched her career and connected her with a new generation of fans.

It also emboldened her to try Broadway again.

On Monday night, after a 46-year absence, the two-time Oscar winner and political activist who became one of Atlanta’s own when she married (and later divorced) media mogul Ted Turner, returns to the Great White Way in “33 Variations.”

    Chere Jane,

    I wish you an “énorme merde”. You will be wonderful. You always are.

    How I regret a trip to NYC is not in my future this year.

    Warmest regards,
    Tish

    Jane, I LOVED Monster-in-Law and I never listen to the critics – they are usually wrong. You were hilarious and brave. I really enjoyed the extra features, where you discussed your fears about “coming back”. I own a DVD of this movie (as well as MANY of your others). It’s one of the ones I can count on to lift my mood when and if I need it!

  • "At age 50, I broke all the career rules and left acting for 15 years. Ten of those years I was married to Ted Turner and after that I spent 5 years writing my memoirs and traveling the world on behalf of women and girls. Needless to say, returning to my profession late in life has been an interesting, exciting and unusual experience! "Monster-in-Law" was my first film after this hiatus and was one of my most fun professional experiences after "9 to 5"! During my 15 year absence, I gained confidence and, as a result, I feel that my acting is better, more nuanced and relaxed than ever."
