Dear Ms. Jane Fonda

Hi my name is Hannah Mavrakis. I am 11 years old and live in Sydney, Australia.

I attend SCEGGS Darlinghurst, a girls’ private school in Sydney. We have a school project where we chose a person we consider to be eminent and write a biography about them. I have chosen you as I wanted to write about an actor who has made a real difference in the world.

I have been reading about your life. You are fascinating and brilliant. You have had an interesting life with many achievements. You have inspired me.

I was wondering if you would like to answer these questions to assist in my paper?

Questions:
1. What was the most important thing you think you achieved when you went to Vietnam during the war?
2. Of all the movies you have ever made which is the one you are most proud of?
4. What was your most proud public achievement?
5. What do you want to be remembered most for?
6. As part of the project we have to dress up as our eminent person and I’m having a hard time trying to figure out a costume. Do you have any suggestions on what I should wear?
7. Can you imagine what your life would be like now if you didn’t become an actor?
8. Who was your childhood idol?
9. I’m often having to learn line for plays at my theater company (ATYP). Do you have any tips?
10. What is your favourite movie?
11. You have supported and campaigned strongly for women’s rights for so many years and have tried to help with writing books and setting up foundations. What do you think still needs to be achieved today?

12. You went on amazing missions to rescue people like Ida Nudel, or rallied seeking justice for Native Americans or African Americans by supporting The Black Panthers. Were you ever scared when crowds turned on you or when you realized the FBI was tracking you unfairly during the Nixon days?

I look forward to your response.

Kind Regards
Hannah
