    I’m glad the auction was a success. I would love to visit your ranch some day. I have a friend, Pam Westmore, of the famous Westmore family of make-up artists who lives in Taos. She loves it there. I understand the light in New Mexico is to die for. I did get to see Matt [...]

    Caught a glimpse of you on the telly following the Oscars. You had changed into a yellow dress and said something to the effect “I like to be comfortable when I drink.” So funny. The Oscars were very entertaining this year. I was hoping my man, Roger Deakins would win, at last, but it was [...]

    Jane,
    Sine you note that you love documentaries, I wonder if you are familiar with the documentary film festival called hotDocs held in Toronto? I’ve attended every year for several years now. Wonderful films and many do not find distributors and,therefore, are never seen again. Unusual films, lyrical films, wondrous films. Check it out.

    You go girl! Hoops, that’s what I use here in Michigan. People are shocked when I grab a basket full of veggies in December!

    Don’t know if you garden yourself ( I rather doubt with all you do that you have the time) but you could hire someone to garden for you and grow vegetables that you won’t find in the grocery store. You can grow eggplant in California, no problem. Last year I grew 29 different vegetable and [...]

    Your diet sounds quit healthy. I grow about 90% of what we eat in our household in raised beds in Ann Arbor: all of the vegetables and some of the fruit. I’m still harvesting parsnips and fresh carrots that I keep stored in the ground. I have moved slowly toward growing more root vegetables for [...]

    Boola, Boola to all of the above on Jodie!! I’m still ambivalent about “Django,” however. I felt a similar way about “Precious”and “The Help.” As an African-American and a movie buff, I really have a hard time finding films that lift up African-Americans without reverting to some story line that includes a white Deus ex [...]

    Luv ya!! If you are in Atlanta in then next 3 months, drop by the set of “Prisoners.” I’m sure crew and talent (Hugh Jackman, Viola Davis (just too awesome)would love it! And what a director (Denis Villeneuve) they snagged. His Incendies was a luscious film. Speaking of film, perhaps one day you may come [...]

    Great choice of exercises,Ms. Fonda, though I wonder if a modified plank thrown in the mix might help as well. I circuit train three times a week and use a recumbent bike. Seems to be keeping me pretty fit, thus far. Balance becomes a big issue as we age, and I’m always trying to get [...]

    Ms Fonda, I will be in Atlanta next month visiting friends and family. A couple of friends are on the movie shoot “Prisoners.” Any recommendations for them in regards to restaurants, jazz clubs, etc? I last lived in Atlanta 30 years ago, so I’m a little behind. Thanks April in Ann Arbor Sorry for the [...]

    Happy Birthday, Ms Fonda! I’m very familiar with G Capp and will be happy to make a donation. A friend of mine(Kay Young, Esq) who passed away a few years ago, served on its board. It will be wonderful to honor the center’s work and Kay. When I was a medical school student in Atlanta, [...]

    I highly recommend “Escape Fire: The Fight To Rescue American Healthcare” by Matt Heineman and Susan Froemke. These filmmakers also made “The Alzheimer Project” on HBO. As a physician, I am appalled by our health care system. A system that does not support preventive care, healthy nutrition, counseling on end of life issues, home care [...]

    Oh, loved the one with Tulea. I lost my beloved dog in February. She was a wire-haired mini-dachshund. Not a common breed in the States, though not as rare as a Coton. Pet ownership confers so many healthful benefits and the data are showing individuals who grow up around animals have fewer allergies and problems [...]

    Jane, Watched your “Butt Lift” YouTube. The exercises you demonstrated were excellent (glad you demonstrated with a chair). One of the biggest problems in the older age group is poor balance and associated falls. Falling accounts for a huge percentage of morbidity and mortality in older individuals. Strong gluts are essential to maintaining balance. I [...]

    Hope you got to the Art Institute of Chicago. Their permanent collection of African-American Art is superb. And for movie rats like my self, what a surprise to be staring face to face with the hideous visage of Dorian Gray as rendered by Albright. I had no idea the painting was actually a real painting [...]

    Great town! I travel there often to visit family including a 94 year old cousin. She was one of the first African-American school superintendents in Chicago. She’s a regular theatre goer and just saw “The Iceman Cometh” with Nathan Lane and Brian Dennehy (one of the finest actors on the planet IMHO) at the Goodman. [...]

    Love your web-site and all the humanitarian work you do. It’s great to see someone giving back to the community. I’ve been a fan of yours and your Dad’s for more 45 years. Your father was very kind to me when I was a student at Yale. He was in New Haven performing “Clarence Darrow” [...]
