Hola Jane!
I want to wish you all a great day at the rally next Friday in Washington, I want to tell you that day I’ll be with all from Spain, your fight is everyone’s!!

I read this article a long time ago and I have looked for it in the my newspaper English edition and at last I found it!! , it’s very interesting and I thought that it’s convenient to remember the consequences of climate change, I hope you’ve got no problem to reading it. This is my little contibution for that day.

https://english.elpais.com/science-tech/2022-10-26/how-fossil-fuels-kill-study-warns-of-the-impact-of-climate-crisis-on-global-health.html

Finally, I hope your health is improving, we’re all with you in your own fight against cancer, good luck! You’re a very strong and optimistic person, it’s easier that way. I admire your struggle in all aspects of life.

With love
Floren

Always inspired by your tireless activism! Thank you for this article, I didn’t know this was happening in TX.

Wishing you good health,

Gigi

Hi Jane!,
First of all I want to tell you that I hope and I wish that you are in good health and the treatment is taking effect. Just a small comment about Health System, I suppose you know that in the European Union all citizens enjoy a Universal Public Health System absolutely free for all of us that covers all treatments including cancer, it’s a part of what we use to call “Society of Well-Being” and that allows us to live with tranquility and there’s no doubt that it’s an equality policy, rich and poor people are the same in the face of illness. If a poor country like mine in relation to the US can do it, it’s also possible there, I hope so in a future.
As for the upcoming elections in your country, we’re all following them with interest and concern. It’s important that democratic values triumph and, of course, those policies that take care of the increasingly endangered environment. I wish you all the best in these elections, they’re very important for you but also for the world.

With love, I wish you the best
Floren

This song is an hymn to Democracy with cumbia rhythm, the lyrics are very realistic and fun.

I wanted to be at your Michigan event but was hosting a family-friendly bi-partisan candidate meet and greet event. Dayna is my rep, and one of our speakers. You inspire and motivate me.

En estos últimos días han habido dos reivindicaciones contra el cambio climático que han sido bastante impactantes. Han arrojado salsa de tomate y puré de patatas en dos obras de pictóricas de renombre. Es necesario estropear arte para protestar???? Es educativo para nuevas generaciones ??

jane, thank you for fighting for the future of our planet and for all of us to have a future, you’re incredible.

Hi Jane!

I had the opportunity to meet Dana Nessel a couple weeks back at the rally in Michigan. She truly is a force of nature and if elected, would truly set Michigan as a prime example of a state taking real climate action and women’s rights.

I really had no idea until a few weeks ago how much power state/local officials have over environmental issues. It really changed my view on the importance of electing climate leaders into those offices.

It pissed me off when the time came for me to plan how I was going to vote that climate issues were hardly addressed in candidates platforms, and if they were, it was a mere mention. Nothing near a strong stance. It truly confused me that the climate crisis seemed to play a very minuscule role on the agenda. Especially since a lot of voters in my area are farmers and are worried about Indiana’s economy, which relies heavily on agriculture. How are we supposed to get any yield from crops when it is too hot/and or flooded? More importantly, what about the increasingly contaminated waters from factory/crop pollution?

My hope is that even if Indiana does once again end up with a republican majority, that constituents who are aware of the climate crisis will rise and fight them tooth and nail. I have no doubt that will be the case, especially since a lot of progress has been made- especially in schools- to teach the real truth of the tipping point we are at, and more and more people are becoming aware and taking action everyday here at home.

I hope you are doing well and I’m excited to see all of the work you and your PAC are doing pay off. You are setting the standard for using your platform to uplift important issues, and I’m glad to see that more influencers/celebrities are willing to use theirs as well. I believe that will make a big difference.

Best,
Kennedy Davis

This is so important and nice! Thank you so much, Jane! You are always so amazing and inspiring! Love from Brazil!

Quizás no tenga tiempo ni ganas para leer reflexiones de una amante del cine como yo pero me parece interesante. ¿Has visto la película “Good Luck Leo Grande” de Emma Thompson?. (Breve entrada: Tras un matrimonio insatisfactorio y con 55 años, Nancy desea el contacto masculino y contrata los servicios de Leo Grande un amable profesional con el que se cita en un hotel.)
Trata algo tan importante como la insatisfacción sexual dentro del matrimonio. La falta de autoestima y opresión femenina por parte de la sociedad y los parámetros de belleza que se imponen han desarrollado trastornos que impiden a la mujer ser plenas sexualmente. Es muy triste. Por eso es muy importante hacerlo visible.
¿Puede una mujer ser feliz sin haber experimentado un orgasmo en su vida?. ¿Cómo podemos sentir vergüenza al estar con la pareja y no ser capaces de ser sinceros?. ¿Una pareja que realmente te quiere debería estar preocupado por tu satisfacción?
Recomiendo esta película. Ambos actores crean un clima íntimo perfecto. Y Emma T está más auténtica que nunca. ¡Veanla!.
Me encantaría su opinión señora Fonda.
Agradecida por su atención. Un fuerte abrazo.

The Detroit Institute of Art has an amazing Detroit Industry Mural by Rivera. It is an absolute treasure. The painting of your mother and sister is fascinating!

Dearest Jane, Re: your last post (I am so eager for my comment to be approved so her tis again xx)

I want to share with you a poem written by Amy Schmidt, entitled ABUNDANCE
It’s impossible to be lonely
when you’re zesting an orange.
Scrape the soft rind once
and the whole room
fills with fruit.
Look around: you have
more than enough.
Always have.
You just didn’t notice
until now.

Another one called Sunrise by Louise Glück:
And if you missed a day, there was always the next,
and if you missed a year, it didn’t matter,
the hills weren’t going anywhere,
the thyme and rosemary kept coming back,
the sun kept rising, the bushes kept bearing fruit

My poetry professor has left me with the comfort that poetry is always there for you when you need it. It is now one of the most pure forms of love I know, reading and writing poetry, sharing your voice and feelings. I have written something for you, but I would rather not place it here. May I send you a letter with the poem attached?

Jane, you are a survivor and a fighter– you are heroic and unshrinking. You are so sovereign and empowered. Everyone will listen to your feelings during this time, and everyone who can, will comfort you. Your voice and narrative will be an antidote, and it will be recognized. I have so much I would like to say to you, please let me do so in a letter. And I made you a bracelet!

Until then, wishes of an abundance (of zest, vigor, moxie, and rest). I really care about you, Jane Fonda!!!

Sincerely,
Ashleigh, a great advocate of yours and truer, fuller person for it xoxoxo

p.s. listen to Moon River by Audrey Hepburn and Smile by Judy Garland. Love those xoxo

Jane: What a treasure! I’m delighted you got to see it at @SFMOMA; will the exhibition be travelling to anywhere else, I wonder? Not sure whether I’ll be able to travel to the U.S. from here in the U.K. before January, as we have been invited to a family member’s graduation in Denver, in May! I would love to see the whole Diego Rivera show; this painting in particular, of course ❤️.

Great to see you out and about again; I wish you all the very best in all you do! Stay safe and strong…

Ruth 🙏🏻❤️

¿Y no choca ver un cuadro privado en un museo de cara al público? Debe ser como una especie de desnudez. Por otro lado , qué orgullo ser pintadas por el gran Diego Rivera. Es parte de la historia. ¡Qué maravilla!. Algo de magia tiene q haber en toda esta historia y ese cuadro desprenderá buena vibra seguro. ¿Sensaciones señora Fonda?
Un abrazo muy grande.

Dear Jane, I wish you well through this new cancer journey of yours and am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. I have such respect for you and admire how you have always stood up for what you needed to do for yourself, in every phase of your life. I have followed your career and collected your books. I applaud your activism for many causes, including climate change, and I was happy to see you speak at Fountain St Church in Grand Rapids, MI, on restaurant workers wages a few years ago. I am a 72 year old woman veteran (5-1/2 year USAF) and a 14 year breast cancer survivor. I got diagnosed after I found the lump while living in Alaska (lived there for 35 years), and because the VA hospital in Anchorage could not treat me, nor the VA hospital in Seattle, I was sent to the Seattle Care Alliance for my surgeries (lumpectomy & lymph nodes removed). I had excellent care and no cost to me. I had 6 months of low dose chemo (through a port) and 1 month & a week of radiation in Anchorage and paid a percentage of that. I was out of work one year. I always stayed positive and knew I would make it through. I did it alone and had no one with me nor family or friends available to take me to appts. I am grateful to be alive and was grateful for my wonderful care and the love and support from friends and family. I wish you the best, always. Love, Jane

Ms. Fonda,
Sending positive thoughts.
You are a strong woman, chemo can be rough… walk through it. I had chemo infusions two years ago. The doctor suggested I exercise and move. I did as much as possible and it helps.
Try to walk as much as your body allows
I am praying daily for your healing.
You are a positive influence to so many.
Sending love and prayers,
Deb Fonda

Hello Jane,
I have looked up to you since I first watched “On Golden Pond” (my favorite movie) when I was 5 or 6 years old. I’m 27 now and your movies, shows, interviews and activism have inspired me and have kept me going through my darkest times. I stumbled upon one of your workout books when I was in middle school and in it you tell the story of how Katharine Hepburn convinced you to do the back flip stunt in “On Golden Pond” on your own. She said: “Everyone should know that feeling of overcoming fear and mastering something; people who aren’t taught that become soggy.” I read that quote whenever I need a reminder to be brave and face those challenges in life that will help me to grow. I won’t go into detail, but you and I have a lot in common in regards to our childhood, our relationships with men and our life perspectives. I have seen how you’ve grown and evolved from all of those things and it has helped me see how important my independence is. I feel comfortable with myself and a big part of that is because I watched you get comfortable with yourself; so, thank you for sharing your story so people pleasing girls like me could grow into resilient forces to be reckoned with at a younger age than we would have without your influence. I could go on and on about how you’ve saved me and how much I adore you, but I’ll leave you with this: thank you from the tips of my toes to the top of my crown for sharing your wisdom and teaching me the type of woman I want to be. I absolutely adore you and I know this cancer will not make you soggy… nothing ever could.
All my love,
Marie Bissonnette

Hi Jane!

My name is Mirela and I am from Croatia. I am not sure if you will read this, but I want to share how much you influenced me and my life.

First, I love you in Grace and Frankie, but I also watch as many of your movies as I can find. I was born in 90’s, but I like movies from 70’s and 80’s. The ending of Grace and Frankie is so satisfying, although I am very sad there won’t be any more episodes. The show is very funny and full of emotions, I like to watch it when I need something to comfort me or cheer me up.

Also, I really wanted to read your book, My life so far, but I couldn’t find it in Croatian language, so I ordered it in English and it was the first whole book in English I have ever read. Before that, I kind of hesitated because I thought it would take me a lot of time since English is not my first language. I was really proud of myself because of reading it so I started to read more books in English including your last book What Can I Do? The Path from Climate Despair to Action. Your life has been interesting, but the thing I like the most about your autobiography is the wisdom you gained and insight you have about the things you have done and the reasons why you did them. It was the first time I have read about not being connected with yourself and your body -dissociation. I realized I also experience it so I started learning more about it and working on myself to become whole again. You inspired me to start a therapy as well.

Taking care of the environment was only natural for me since a very young age, but because of Fire Drill Fridays and your last book, I was inspired to join our local Greenpeace organisation. The first thing I did was collect signature for Ban Fossil Fuel Advertising and Sponsorships petition. It was out of my comfort zone, but I am happy I was able to do it.

Congratulations on your new project Jane Fonda Climate PAC! I tried to donate but since I am not an U.S. citizen I cannot 🙁

I was deeply touched by news about your diagnosis and how you are handling it. I wish you strength to cope with it and I hope you will continue to feel good. I admire you very much, your work and everything you are doing for the world to become a better place. You are a big inspiration to me and for that, from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. Thank you for sharing your passion and energy with all of us. <3

Lots of love,
Mirela

That’s the spirit ! 💪💪I am very happy to hear that you are feeling well. I am very happy to hear that you are feeling well. Although I can’t hide the fact that I cried half the night after hearing this. You have had a profound impact on me since I was 14 yo (but it’s a bit of a long story 😘) Wishing you a speedy recovery, the world needs you, stay strong.

with much admiration and love
Kiki

Jane, I was watching Fire Drill in the moment you told about your cancer. It’s not time for you to get out of the scene and you’ll win!!!
I’m from Brazil and your fan since the
pandemic. I’d like to thank you all you’ve done to me through your books, movies, interviews and workout videos. You are such an inspiration to me! I’m a better person because of you. I read My life so far in 2 months and I’ll read it again in my next decade (40). And next month Bolsonaro will fall down!!! I’d love to have a Jane Fonda in Brazil. I want to hug you one day and say thank you for all you do to the world!!!
I love you so much and I’m praying for you.
Kisses from Brazil!!!
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

You are a life-long warrior, Jane and you are beating it everyday. Imagining how many people you have helped around the world, it’s easy to tell you are always surrounded by lots of love from close ones to those you have never met but they have lived their life with you. You totally got this.❤️

Hello Jane, I appreciate your candor in the face of what many (myself included) consider the scariest word in the English language– cancer. I feel oddly reassured by your post, such is the strength of your spirit that comes through your words.. know that myself and countless others are wishing you all the best in this latest battle. All my love.

Jane, when I saw your post on Instagram, my heart broke into thousand of pieces. I’ve noticed you haven’t been active on the blog, on Twitter and on Instagram too, and I thought it was because you were so busy with work, I thought you were still on Italy for a little vacay after filming Book Club 2. Anyway. I could never imagine that you were going through this, and for so many time.

It’s not because I’m a fan that I’m saying this but you have to believe that you have a tremendous strength, you inspire people around the world just for having 84 years old being super active, doing your activism with environmental issues with so many willpower and passion, and maybe that’s role that is not meant for you, but of the politicians who govern the countries. But it’s clear that your life purpose is this. Trying to add as many people as possible to help you change the planet, to make sure we will have a planet capable of being inhabited. And it’s beautiful to see that.

On the other hand, I believe your other passion and “gift of God” is acting. I don’t know if you think about retiring after the diagnosis or why you think you’ve fulfilled your mission in this profession. But I think you shouldn’t stop. I think that the good ones and those who have been on the path for a long time should continue until the end. Who really has the talent, and dedication to carry out such work. There are a lot of people coming up without even having taken an acting course. But that’s it, I love your work, I think you’ve accomplished amazing movies throughout your career and you doesn’t deserve to stop for now. Maybe take a chance and go to Broadway? It would be incredible! Perhaps uniting action with environmental issues?

But I’m sure you’re a strong one, sweetie! I’m happy to read this new post, everything’s gonna be alright, it’s just a phase! I don’t know if you know the power of hearing sound like a meditation, but it’s measured by “hz” and it really helps the mind. I use one for anxiety and depression. There’s a YouTube channel with a lot of these sound. I’m sending you a link that I read on the comment that’s very helpful. I hope you like it and works for your case. https://youtu.be/JQwjXLQfYfA

I love you. I hope you read this and feel in your heart all my good vibrations that I’m sending you. Stay positive, because you can handle this! 💗 Stay next to your family and female friends that I know for you it’s very important to have them close, they’re the “safe space” that you need right now. And for sure you will live longer, longer enough. And I’ll be here, waiting for your 100th birthday post, you bet! 😂 It will be a great time to celebrate.

Xx,
Giovanna from São Paulo, Brazil (which I don’t know if you still remember me, but I was at every single FDF zoom and on the lives to

Dear Jane,

Thank you so much for taking the time to write this! It is wonderful to know that you are feeling stronger…keep it up 💪! You can and will get through this 🙏🏻💪💗!

Love and prayers,

Ruth Jane Davison

Dear Jane, I’ve followed you as an actress all my life(I’m 57 🤩) and then your workout and humanitarian work. One of my highlights was seeing you signing your book in Helsinki and getting to say something. I admire your strength and commitment to a better world. You make this world a better / bearable place(Dolly too🥰). An inspiration to millions. You’ll get through this cancer . Warm wishes and love from a Brit in Helsinki . Liz ❤️

I’m so glad to hear you’re doing well. You’ve got this! Sending all my love <3

My head just exploded, I hope and wish that everything remains in a bad dream, and that you will soon be recovered. And I know it will be like this, because you are strong and a fighter. And you can with everything. I will always be by your side. I love you a lot my Queen 💗✨💪🏻🫂

Hi, Jane!
I am deeply sorry that you have to get through this cancer experience again. Words can be helpful to encourage you to never give up as you always taught us to do. Now, it’s our turn to constantly remind you to never give up, because every day is a gift. Only you know how it really feels inside to go through this again, and that’s way I’m sending you a tight hug and healing energies. Keep working on your mind because the power of thoughts on our health is tremendous. I am thinking of you since the day we’ve personally met in Paris and I’ll continue to think of you especially now.

I love you ❤!

I have always been a fan but I now I feel I have friendship with you . No I am not living alone , writing from a dark room , devoid of friends, sending my lone thoughts to a Hollywood star . Today is my birthday and received many well wishes. I thought I would look up your blog to see if you had posted something new and I was rewarded with my best birthday present . It is almost as if I hear your voice speaking through the words you write. Your voice is strong and motivated me to donate to your climate action PAC. I saw the video of you exercising after your chemo and couldn’t help but think of my sister who also suffered through cancer. Your will to continue to fight is nothing short of amazing . Please fight hard against cancer for me and maybe you could schedule more book club meetings ,so we can all share more ideas of activism from your book.

Hey Jane ❤ As I heard in your fire drill Friday livestream that you got cancer I cried for 10 minutes 💔 I was so in shocked! But as I heard that this is a treatable cancer i was glad but never I’m so worried. But I know you’ll survive it ❤❤❤ I hope you are okay and I know you are strong!!! I pray every night before I go sleep for you ❤
Stay strong!!! Cecilia ❤

Dear Jane, as many people I am a huge fan of yours and was shocked to hear about your diagnosis.
Little did I know, a couple of weeks later I would be diagnosed with breast cancer myself. I am taking it as positive as I can. I cannot change the outcome, but I can change my attitude towards that outcome.
I know know I can keep that same attitude when I begin my chemo treatments, while I also try to influence people in caring for our planet and for the animals.
Thank you Jane Fonda for being such an inspiration.

Hope things are looking up for you. I know someone 70years of age that was recently diagnosed. Unfortunately she had a chemical burn reaction to chemo which is very rare and has suffered terrible burns. Hopefully she can start her chemo again shortly. Sending positive thoughts 💕

Thank you Jane and Lilly for the last 7 seasons of “fun” you have given your fans. It’s truly inspiring to see two wonderful woman in such an “open” comedy. Thank you also to Martin and Sam who also have given their fans a “giggle”. Best wishes Jenny

Ms Fonda – I’ll dispense with all of the gushing but please know it’s all here, in me, in writing this note to you. Wow. It’s a simple comment on a simple blog in this “ether space” we all seem to call home now but it’s still exciting. Much like the time I met you in person. It was working at Canyon Ranch in Tucson. I was the Bell Captain there when you visited in the early 80’s. As “The Ranch” was adept at welcoming many celebrities, the Hospitality Director (Teena) had informed me that you would be getting a “private” orientation as opposed to a “group” orientation and that I should be ready to go with her as she made her way to your room in case anything was needed, I would be able to make note and handle things. It was an honor that she trusted me with this “task” and I vowed to be completely professional. As we entered your room (the same room, by the way, occupied by Barbra Streisand and Sue Mengers some time earlier that year!), I saw you and, I admit, I sort of froze. There you were, this stunning woman whom I had admired for years and years and you were right in front of me. I was aware of Teena’s voice, sort of beginning the orientation and then finally I heard her say, to me, “Honey? Honey? Will you take care of that for us? Honey?” I had frozen and had to be brought out of my trance. But I recovered and excused myself, a little embarrassed. But I was entranced and you’re still a stunning woman for whom I have the utmost respect and affection. I was 21 years old at the time, a young Gay man, who had just met Jane Fonda! How much better could life be?!! Thank you for being you.

Hello, dear Jane! I feel I should say thank you for this sweet and funny show. It has been my comfort series, and I think it’s never gonna change, because it’s such a warming heart masterpiece. Thank you for all the tears and the moments you made me laugh. I can’t wait to watch the new episodes, but I can’t believe it’s really the end. I’m gonna miss it so much. I have great memories from the good times I spent watching it with my belove ones, who got obsessed with this show. I’m so happy we got the chance to have something like Grace and Frankie between all those empty things we had to watch. This show is my favorite ever and, yes, Jane, it’s needed now, because it gives us HOPE. Love you, xx.

I want to thank Jane Fonda for showing middle class woman that woman of this age can wear attractive clothing with long sleeves and higher necklines. I wish she would tell us— or develop a line— where to buy these cloths. I want to remain attractive in my eighties. Thank you for the inspiration

Dear Jane,
I’m not sure if you will see this but I just wanted to take a brief moment to say a simple thank you. I’m almost 19 years old, and I’m from England. I’ve been watching your films since I was about 15 (‘9 to 5’ played a part in my feminist awakening!) and I recently started university doing a Film and History degree (the first ever essay I submitted a few months ago I wrote about the cultural, historical and aesthetic significance of ‘Coming Home’, and that was so exciting for me). It’s been in the last year or so that I’ve taken to look at your life away from the screen, and I’m so glad I did. You have had a such a profound impact on me, and I’m so grateful for the candid way you talk about your life and experiences, because just by talking about it, you’ve made me feel less alone in the struggles I’ve faced and am facing. The last two years I’ve been dealing with the fact that my father is an alcoholic, and my relationship with him has become very difficult. So, to say the least, you have been a source of strength for me in the way you have talked about the difficulties of your relationship with your father, albeit under a different circumstance, but nonetheless I know, from you, that I can heal from this. In this time, Grace and Frankie has been such a relief for me, the belly laughs I have are endless – and that is exactly what I have needed! So to everyone involved in the show, thank you so much for the joy you have given me and so many others.
Everything I have learnt from you, Jane, I will carry with me for the rest of my life and into every new adventure I take. Thank you for being you, owning your truth, and continuing to fight for what is right. I hope you are keeping well, and I can’t wait to see the new films projects you have been working on.
Alexandra
xx

Well done, Jane!👏❤
I hope you are really convinced that you are who you are in this very moment thanks to you and all the work you’ve done on yourself over the years, and not because you were/are Henry Fonda’s daughter.
So keep on going 👌!
sending my love,
❤

Jane, it’s been a beautiful journey. To think of all the anticipation that I had for this show and how we all grew throughout – it’s crazy to think about what a success story this has turned out to be, millions of people my age getting crazy about it and you especially. I am always moved when I get to witness a show from the very beginning to its very end. One cannot help but reflect on life itself – but I am so happy that we don’t have to wait very long to see you and Lily back together… TWICE!

Congratulations to everyone involved! Kisses from your loyal pal, Daniel xxx

Thank YOU, Jane. I have it on my calendar. After having a very bad month, I’ve been so looking forward to the lift this will bring me. Your fan always, Dona

So happy to soon enjoy the ending of G&F! A show that gave me hope and laughs.

Dear Jane, how are you? From my small country, in South America, URUGUAY, I just want to thank you and Lily for being and existing. I am 66 years old and have various health issues but your work at G&F has been inspiring. They have put me through every mood possible and I feel gratified. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
And, the most beautiful thing is that my 33-year-old daughter has seen all the seasons in 15 days! 🤪😂😂😂 and now waiting…. for the end.
You are a being of light. You have the warmth of the sun and the clarity of the moon. What you propose you achieve. You are a believable and beautiful being because beauty comes from your heart and your intelligence. You seek the common good, something that many people forget, they do not look at the other who is by their side. I admire that about you. And Lily!!!!! I hope you both read this.
I send you a big hug. Be happy and take care of yourself!
With love, Grace! (Grace, for some people)😜😘❤️💪🙏 ❤️❤️❤️😂🇺🇾🇺🇾🇺🇾
P.S. Sorry if there are grammatical errors… I use a translator. LOL xoxoxo

Muchísimas gracias a Ustedes. Son verdaderas Estrellas. Desde Paraguay con Admiración, Cariño y Respeto

Thank you for giving us so many years of fun and joy. Not ready for it to end but will rewatch it always ❤️

Thank YOU! You came to us at a time (Trump, Pandemic, NOW Ukraine… and our own personal challenges) when we needed you.

Dear Jane and Lily,

I started watching Grace and Frankie the second it was released and I immediately fell in love. I’ve watched it so many times, I’ve lost count. For the past 5 years, I’ve been suffering from severe depression and anxiety and it has absolutely destroyed me. But Grace and Frankie has always been there for me. It’s my safe space. It makes me feel happy in sad times. It shows me there’s hope. When my grandpa passed away last year, it was the only show I could watch. During lockdowns it’s all I watched. When I felt like there was no reason to stay, I turned on Grace and Frankie. The show has become such an important part of my life and having to say good bye is heartbreaking, but I’m so excited to see the final episodes.

I’ve made so many friends and memories because of Grace and Frankie and it’s been great being a part of the Grace and Frankie community. The fact that people of all ages love this show just shows how incredibly important it is. I hope you know how much this show means to all of us. It has changed my life in ways you can’t imagine.

I’m so grateful to both of you. You’ve helped me through a lot of dark moments and I truly wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for you and your work. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you eternally.

x Thalia

Deleted my original message as have just watched news with heartbreaking report of a 3month old baby killed in Odessa .
Just to say thankyou all and stay well X

I got Netflix last year after my grandfather passed away, my grandmother told my parents and I about the show and how funny it was! So we all watched the first episode today and absolutely loved it! I continued to watch and loved each episode even more than the last! Since watching the show I have watched more Lily & Jane movies & shows, such as 9 to 5 and loved that as well and also discovered and started doing the Jane Fonda Workout regularly and it has made me feel better, watching Grace & Frankie has positively improved my life and I’m sad to see it end but am glad I can rewatch it over and over!

Jane,
Thank YOU and everyone involved with G&F from the bottom of my heart. I’ve rewatched the show many times, but never did i feel more connected with it than after my own marriage ended because my wife had cheated (and blamed it on my chronic pain btw). Watching the characters of Grace and Frankie handle their broken hearts hit very differently when my own heart was broken. G&F made me laugh, comforted me and made me feel understood when i was at the lowest point of my life. I’m so glad you all know how much this show has impacted so many people, and how special it is to so many.
And Jane, if you see this, i just want you to know that you’re one of my biggest role models. Whenever i feel like i can’t or don’t want to go on i think of you and how much you’ve been through, but you never give up. Your strength is so inspiring to me. I don’t think I’ll ever be even a little bit as strong and amazing as you are, but I’m trying. And because of you, I’ll also never give up.
Thank you for everything, and thank you for Grace and Frankie. It’ll always have a very special place in my heart and I’ll never stop rewatching it! 🥰

Dear Jane,
I am truly grateful for the amazing work you’ve done together with Lily. You showed one very important thing: human life must be appreciated at any age in any circumstances.
My mum turned 60 on May 4, 2022. The former USSR made her think that the human life is over when you turn 40. The soviet standards taught people that human life worth nothing, that “there is not person who cannot be replaced” or “no person – no problem”.
We are from Donbas. When the war started in 2014, my mum was there and I was studying in Kyiv. She did not want to leave her house, her garden, everything she knew or had before. She was so depressed. But I managed to bring her to Kyiv in early 2015. At that time she was 52.
And the “fun” part started. We needed to find a job for her. Ageism in Ukraine and other post-soviet countries is horrible. All companies we contacted told my mum that 52 is very old, that they are searching for a person no older than 35. One company told my mum that she was “old and slow”. On that day she came home and cried. After 6 months of searching, we finally found a job in the supermarket, in cakes department.
You TV series is a socially vital instrument to teach people that life continues till you live it. I remind it to my mum every day.
Thank you again! Greetings from Ukraine, attacked by russia.
Hugs,
Katya

I love the show and I’m gonna miss it so much! Thank you, Jane and Lily for all these great moments!!!

I also just purchased the soundtrack I listen while I’m working and it brings many smiles💜💙

I love Grace and Frankie. I have Netflix and I have first 6 seasons on dvd when my internet is slow. I’m near 60 and love watching, actually I’m on my 3rd complete pass of the entire show and I have never tired. I love June Diane Rafael and hope her spin off happens and you can guest star💕💙💜

Thank YOU for the laughs and love. I rarely laugh at shows anymore, but with Grace and Frankie it’s different. I actually laugh. I’m a new fan of your’s and the show’s. I turn 40 this year and am so scared I’ve wasted my life, but somehow Grace and Frankie has given me hope on being able start fresh and want to really live.
Also, I wish I would have known about Fire Drill Fridays sooner-Just learned about it yesterday. So excited for next month’s first Friday now!

I want to add more to my original comment. Without getting too personal, your relationships with your parents are very similar to the relationships I have with mine. My mother really struggles with her mental health and I always fear that what happened to your mom will happen to mine. My dad really reminds me of Henry/Norman. Not nearly as critical/mean, but just kind if grumpy, yet super wise. He’s done a lot of self work since I was younger though, so thankfully our relationship has gotten much better. The scene in On Golden Pond where you don’t follow what you originally rehearsed and you grab Norman’s arm makes me so emotional… even after seeing the movie a few times a year for the majority of my 26 years. It’s my favorite movie and I’m so very glad you were able to have that experience with your father. Anyway, thanks again for everything, Jane. It’s amazing how many people you have inspired and guided throughout your lifetime and you don’t even know it… I think that’s quite beautiful.

All my love,

Marie

Thank YOU!!! I have such fond memories of my mother, who I lost a year ago, watching 9 to 5 with me and On Golden Pond. Those were always two of our all-time fave movies. I watched the first episode of Grace and Frankie and saw the same magic onscreen that made me love those movies. You, Lily, and the rest of the cast did such a wonderful job. It’s an amazing show. Thank you for all of the laughter and the wonderful acting over the years!

Thank you Jane and to Lily for the constant laughs and cries over the past 7 years. This show has gotten me through some of the worst times in my life, but also was there for the good times too. This show will forever be special to me and will always be on repeat in my house.

Dear Jane and Lily, I love Grace and Frankie. So sad to see it end. Lily you have been my fav comedienne since the big beach chair.
Jane, On the bright side I have the recipe for chicken paprika!!!!!! I make the best. Stop by for dinner if you are ever in Florida.

Dear Jane,
I have never written a fan letter in my life. But instead of telling other people, I decided I should tell you: You and Oprah Winfrey are the only celebrities I admire.
You are not only an amazing, influential “public figure,” you are a brilliant person. The range of your interests, your many types of activism, are truly inspiring. You and Oprah come from opposite polar ends of our culture, but you both arrived at the same life’s purpose — to become America’s most inspiring women.
I have been watching some of your in-depth interviews on YouTube. Your ability to speak contemporaneously on so many topics is impressive. But your continual willingness to speak the truth about your life and psyche and to explore what it means to be human is what’s truly influential. I only wish there were more like you.
I, too, had a distant father. It wasn’t until I was old and he was gone did I realize he suffered from PTSD from being at the Normandy Landing. If only we had known about such things decades ago.
My one wish is that, in future speaking appearances, you could involve Gloria Steinem. She was one of the most transformational figures of the 20th century and younger women need greater exposure to her legacy. The one they don’t think they need — when you know we need much more.
Thanks for all you do. Please keep doing it!

Thank you Jane for being an inspiration in my life & continuing to do the good work to help make our world a better place. Saturday, I learned about you going public with your non Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and I’m sending you healing energy & hope you heal quickly. On Friday, I also went public with something similar; it wasn’t an easy thing for me to do https://gofund.me/7fbc2679 wishing you well. Love Ann Baldwin 🌈❤️💜💙💚💛🧡🌈

I’ve seen Grace and Frankie, all episodes all seasons, at least three times; thank you for the joy.

On another note, I thought you might find this Washington Post article interesting. It’s a non sequitur to what’s being discussed here but I didn’t know where else to post it where you might see it. https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2022/09/01/michael-gerson-evangelical-christian-maga-democracy/

Hi Jane,
Just read your Instagram post.
My thoughts are with you at this difficult time. You will get through this. We have so much love for you.
Sending you love and strength from Hamburg to California!!
Big warm hug
Jason

Jane,

I just wanted to take a moment to send you good thoughts. If anyone can beat cancer, it’s you! You are one of the strongest women I know and I just know that you are going to come out stronger than before! Thank you for today’s FDF with Jean Su and I can’t wait to join the next FDF event!

Best,
Kennedy Davis

Dear Ms. Fonda: It’s been awhile since I last wrote, but I just wanted you to know that the photo of my Barbarella painting that I mailed you got back to me with your autograph on it, to which I say “Thank you very much.”. Just think, my art portfolio of Barbarella artwork now starts off with a photo of my favorite painting of your sci-fi character complete with your autograph. I just wanted to write you to express my appreciation of your kind gesture. Have fun! Yours-Steven Vasko

Cuando encontré este blog me hizo una ilusión tremenda. Ver qué Jane contesta es algo atípico y especial. No sé si alguien podría decirme si cabe la posibilidad en conseguir una foto firmada enviada por correo postal??? Hablo desde España, sé que es una locura pero la ilusión es mayor. Gracias por todo.

Hi Jane:
I have been a lifelong fan of yours and still possess and exercise with the Jane Fonda workout tape.
My husband and I began to binge watch television series since the onset of the pandemic. I found Canadian series particularly entertaining ,like Working Moms and Kim’s Convenience, because the humor seemed sharper and more ground breaking than American television, untiI I watched Frankie and Grace!!! I just saw the episode where Frankie and Grace (finally)break down and tell their ex-husbands how angry they are with them of how dismissive they were when Grace discovered the jewelry stash and Frankie found out Kenny Loggins did not purchase Hitler’s Circumsucion . In my whole life,(I am 62) I have never laughed longer or harder then when Grace burst out they were working on marketing vibrators for the senior female crowd! The concept shattered another glass ceiling of female comedy!
Every time I turn on the show ,I am moved by how honest the confrontations are between the senior actors and actresses. It takes people who lived through the Sixties to bring out the best in drama and comedy. Our laughter reminds us we are still connected to each other with similar secrets brought into the open , that sharing brings love and clarity to our understanding of ourselves and fellow human beings. I want to thank you , Leslie Tomlin and the whole cast for such beautiful acting and making a show so worthwhile to watch.

You bring me joy,

Anita

Jane, Grace and Frankie is one of my favorite shows ever. It makes me feel like anything is possible and achievable in life when I watch it. It really hits home. You are such an inspiration Jane. Thank you for an amazing show. Also, thank you to Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen, and all the other amazing actors in the show. Absolutely Brilliant!

Dearest Mrs. Fonda, I don’t even know where to start. I think I’ve seen almost all of your movies and I have to say that not only do you still look absolutely fantastic, you literally keep getting better! And very few ladies of your age can say this. This series was an absolute shock to me. I knew you were great and I knew you were very funny (Monster in-law), but I had no idea how funny and open you are. You and your colleague Mrs. Tomlin make a perfect duo and as soon as I saw the second part, I had to watch From 9 to 5. 🙂 The series literally captured my heart and I found in it a beautiful escape from the sometimes difficult life… I have 5yo son with autism, and I take care of my grandmother at home, born in 1939 (I have no parents or other siblings), who was turned into a lager in the hospital. She is getting better and I´m not gonna let her go to the hospital or retirement home ever. Thanks for you, your positivity, your wonderful and never-aging presence. With regards and best wishes for atleast another fifty years, Olga Veselá, Czech Republic (Also very sorry for my “GoogleTranslatorEnglishNoSkills”)

Dear Ms. Fonda,
A warm “hello” to you, yours, and others who visit this site. Before I share with all of you my thoughts about GRACE AND FRANKIE, there is something personal I would feel remiss if I did not share. Because it’s been some time since I last wrote to you, I will touch upon an event from my life that relates directly to one of my two reasons for writing this post, as well as to jog your memory in case you don’t remember me.
First, I am a writer who lives in Columbus, Ohio. I am in the middle of my third year of being permanently disabled. This stems from a work-related accident I suffered in 2010. The first doctor to whom I went was negligent in his treatment of me — something I did not learn until seven years after said treatment, when a new doctor informed me of what had been done; or, rather, what had not been done but should have. In addition to this, the Bureau of Workers’ Compensation and its practices of obfuscation kept me from having a surgery for a decade following my accident. The result was that, when finally surgery was approved in 2019, it was too late for me. The surgery, grueling and debilitating, was not successful. And now I know what it is like to be permanently disabled; to suffer from chronic pain; and to battle, daily, depression.
To be in such a position means that one’s hope of having “hope” is compromised. The world narrows, and not just because one is housebound most of the time. Therefore, when something good presents itself, one does one’s best to acknowledge, feel, and be grateful for it. And while one’s quality of life is not what it once was, nor will ever be again, one wakes each day with a renewed effort to grasp what is still good in life rather than straws.
I still write; there is no way I could give it up. The sustenance — and, yes, therapy — it offers one is simply not expendable. So, while I can only write for 15 to 20 minutes at a time, I do my best, on the days when it is possible, to make the most of those 15 or 20 minutes.
Being a writer means also being a reader and, given that I write screenplays in addition to prose, a passionate cinephile.
Now, in addition to studying its screenplay, I recently watched COMING HOME again. Being disabled myself, this particular viewing hit me on a deeper, more profound level. It gave me much more than it had before, even though it has always been one of my favorite films, and my favorite, indeed, of Hal Ashby’s work as a director. I wish I words were adequate enough to convey how grateful I am to Ms. Dowd, Mr. Salt, Mr. Jones, Ms. Milford, Mr. Carradine, Mr. Cyphers, Mr. Voight, and, most of all, to Mr. Kovic and you for offering the world a film that not only informs us, but inspires us to be better people. So, I thank you. Thank you very much.
Now, for GRACE AND FRANKIE. What can one say? It is rare indeed that a series can be warm, funny, moving, and honest in perpetuity. But those of you involved in the production accomplished it. I watched every episode with my mother, and it gave us ample occasions to laugh and even to shed a few tears together. That’s what the best art does, after all: it reminds us that we can feel and share with one another this bittersweet journey that is life. When our ancestors gathered around the fire to share stories, or to draw on cave walls, clearly they were on to something.
So, I thank you again for many wonderful visits around the communal fire. The warmth, empathy, and wisdom you offer to so many has not been in vain.
As always, my warmest regards,
John
P. S. — Let’s go, Climate Pac!

Hilarious interview on Fallon! I was so excited by the amazing reaction that the audience gave after you explained the JFPAC’s mission. Cant wait to get back out in the streets! 🔥

Hello hello Ms. Fonda <3,

(submitting again) Whenever I find a respite or aspirational model to become a bit happier, healthier or more at peace, you and your manifestations of art/goodness seem to be the source for me. You/they are teeming with affirmations. I just started G&F… during the last leg of my rather problematic junior year of college… and now it will be with me during hard times this summer and months to come…
also this will be another summer of your workout vids giving my body and energy back to me, so spiritual, so intentional and cleansing. It is best to not keep your feet on the ground.

There is a lot more where that came from, so may I please send you a letter sometime?

Sincerely,
Ashleigh C xx

Hi Jane!,
I want to tell you that I’m in pain for everything that happened in Uvalde and for all the people killed before and after this unfortunate event. I believe that the time to do something has come. There isn’t a magic recipe, I’m speaking from Spain where we have suffered for years from the terrorism harassment with deaths of innocents as well, sowing fear throughout society and although I know they’re different problems but there’s a common point, it’s the fear, the fear of the other and feelling that you’re not safe but it’s necessary to break the vicious circle of fear and guns to protect yourself from fear. How do you get rid of this problem? Among other things, when the entire civil society becomes aware and has the courage to face the problem and pushes politicians to dialogue and to take decisions, with greater social justice and with a professional police force that guarantees the safety of all citizens. The vast majority of developed countries endorse the theory that people live much safer and happier without guns. A society with fear is not a free society.
All the best
Floren

Good evening!
You and Lily are a dynamic duo that always makes me HOOT with paroxysmal laughter. I wake my husband up at night gasping for air and he gets startled for a minute and then continues to snore.

Grace & Frankie has been such a positive, funny and realistic take on marriage, divorce, diversity and aging gracefully.

I’ve lost both my parents within the last two years and it’s been a rough time, especially my mom, who passed at the very beginning of COVID and we were unable to see her in the last week of her life. She had a very honest sense of humor and could find something funny about everything.

My dad suffered for years with Parkinson’s and Lewey Body Dementia. It was very hard to watch him decline. He had an amazing life: youngest of 14, born a year before The Great Depression. During his working years he was a pastor, teacher, two-term statewide office holder (a yellow dog Democrat), a university president for two different schools and had a PhD in political science. You would have loved both of them.

One last thing…in high school I did a scene from “Barefoot in the Park.” You and Mr. Redford are an adorable couple.

Be well,
jm

Dear Jane, A few months ago, after 22 years of working for a company, my position was eliminated as part of a reorg. A friend sent me a link to your Ted Talk about the Third Act. Your words deeply resonated with me, and gave me refreshed hope in “what comes next.” I am also a huge fan of Grace and Frankie. You both kept it so real and so relatable. And so inspiring. Thank you for your words, your beauty (both outer and inner), and for showing us in our third act that we still have value.

Hi Jane,

I don’t know if you remember but about two years ago I left a comment about being insecure to still have my virginity at 25 and you said,
“wait till there’s love” which has stuck with me ever since. I wanted to update you. Since your comment, I met someone by chance during the end of the pandemic and we fell in love. It’s been a year and a half, we’ve moved in together and he’s encouraged me so much that I went back to education to study something I love. I’ve just finished my first year of my degree, getting A+ on all my grades.

I wanted to thank you. If it wasn’t for your words, I probably would’ve lost my virginity out of pressure and never met this man who has truly changed my life. I’ve introduced him to your work, too. He adores Grace and Frankie, and he even purchased a signed copy of your autobiography for my valentines day gift.

I can’t thank you enough,

Kate

Jane, thank you. Thank you for such a fantastic show. I’ve grown up on so many of your movies and shows and just adore you (and what a fantastic person you are in general). You inspire me. I love the show and it brings me so much comfort and happiness.. two of my favorite ‘comfort’ movies that I’ve always watched are Monster-In-Law and Georgia Rule. Two favorites I just love. You’re the main reason for them all! Thanks for all you do, and making life fun even during the hard times. 🙂

Since the last episodes were released on Netflix, I binged watched all at once. And I loved every single episode and the way it ended. I will forever love Grace & Frankie, and I’m thinking about start to rewatch the show since the first season, because I just can’t deal with this end, it’s my favorite show of all times and for sure it will be forever my comfort show!

I haven’t had time to write to you before, but all I can say is that you, Lily, Marta, Howard, everybody, made such an incredible job of making/creating this show. I’m so grateful for your and Lily’s character because sometimes I feel like a little bit of them, despite the fact I’m only 22 years old.

And the last episode with Dolly, oh my god, amazing amazing amazing amazing, it couldn’t be a better character. And the reunion of the three of you, this scene completely melted my heart, and I ended up sobbing, and I cried for like 15 minutes since it ended. But it was so beautiful, so poetic the last scene of you two painting together and then walking on the beach.

And I’m not sure if you will read this message (I hope so!), but I wanna let you and Lily to know that your characters mean the world to me. I discovered the show during the quarantine time, in the end of 2020, and I was going through a hard time, i was facing a depression and an anxiety I’ve never felt before, and your show helped me to face this issues on a more easy way, with lots of laughs and learnings.

I hope to get to the age of Grace and Frankie, and if I do, I will already know what are the pains and the delights of being an older woman, thanks to this wonderful show!

With so much love,
Giovanna 💗

Hello hello Jane,

Whenever I find a respite or aspirational model to become a bit happier, healthier or more at peace, you and your manifestations of art/goodness seem to be the source for me. You/they are teeming with affirmations. I just started G&F… during the last leg of my rather problematic junior year of college… and now it will be with me during hard times this summer and months to come…
also this will be another summer of your workout vids saving me mentally and helping me out physically!!

There is a lot more where that came from, so may I please send you a letter sometime?

All the best,
Ashleigh

Jane,
Now that I’ve watched the finale episodes of G&F, I am sharing with you that the most touching moment from the last episode was when Frankie was painting with Grace’s hand. It gave me chills on my back.
Thank you 🙏 and hats off to you and Lily for all the great work you’ve both done!👏❤

Dear Jane,
We thank you for the well written, produced, excellent acting, styling done in Grace & Frankie! Watched the final episodes and currently viewing my favourite ones! I’ve also written something along these lines in your blog posted June entitled Back to Work.
Moreover, Lily Tomlin’s outstanding humour, the entire cast really, is truly phenomenal. I am not sure if you see any of these replies, but I feel blissed knowing there is a space where I can extend my sincere thank you for sharing your extraordinary talents to your fans through a wonderfully written series. Hopefully we’ll have the honour to see you, Lily and cast members in another project? Perhaps a contemporary version of 9-5? In Europe, the issue of equal pay for women is really a topic, and I recall how well the issue of women climbing the corporate ladder was portrayed by Lily Tomlin’s character, something truly robust for that time.
Consequently, I am currently writing/working on a paper on EU’s Green Deal and Climate Change, so I tune on Fire Drill Fridays which puts perspective on the issue of fossil fuels. However, in Europe, following the War on Ukraine, things are a little complex due to links where we receive gas, so it’s not only an issue of fossil fuels alone.
Finally, again I honestly appreciate you ever so much, you’re someone I look up to. The entire cast of Grace & Frankie are absolutely brilliant. Also, congratulations to Lily Tomlin in having her hands cemented in Hollywood, long over due, but never too late! Fingers crossed that an assistant will give you the gist of this rather lengthy gratitude post!
All the best to each and everyone of the Grace & Frankie cast, writers, producers, directors.

Muchas gracias for a precious lessons on compassion and conflict resolution. I started watching your series when I walked away from my marriage after suspecting my husband was gay. I also lived in pain and solitude like Grace for many years. You showed me I was not alone, and that there is hope to rebuild a life, to regain the right to pleasure. Magnificent cast, magnificent lessons on human relationships. Forever grateful, I just finished watching all your new episodes, bravo!

Well I just finished the final episodes of Grace and Frankie and I cried. I love that they went from never being in the same room to never being able to be in different rooms. They evolved so much and not just them. Robert, Sol, Brianna, Malerie, Bud, and even Coyote changed so much that it will be weird watching the show all over again. Grace and Frankie both said that they went through hell together and made it back together and I felt that I was apart of that as well. I would like to thank Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Martin Sheen, Sam Waterston, June Diane Raphael, Brooklyn Deckler, Baron Vaughn, Ethan Embry, and the rest of the cast and crew for creating a show that will forever be in our hearts. I am going to miss the feeling of first seeing the last episode but I know that I am going to cry every time. I wish there could be more episodes for me to watch even if that meant never doing another thing in my life again. So thank you Jane and Lily.

Thank you to you and everyone involved with the making of ‘Grace and Frankie’! I have never enjoyed a show so much, honestly! You have all had me laughing, crying, quoting lines and thoroughly enjoying watching multiple times and finding new elements each time. This show show will stay with me forever – it has woken me up and made me a stronger, happier person, strange though that may seem. I will raise a Martini on Friday and say ‘Cheers’ to ‘Grace and Frankie’…love always from England, U.K. 🙏🏻😂🥺😍❤️
Ruth Jane Davison

Dear Jane,

This has quickly become one of my favorite shows, I’m so excited to see how it wraps up! You and Lily both have an incredible talent, thank your for sharing it.

Best,
Kennedy Davis

Dear Jane,

I want to say: thank you!

I am a 27 year old woman from Hamburg, Germany. I have had my fair share of childhood trauma, I have gone to therapy for many years. After my last therapy session about 2 years ago I was finally able to say that I am quite fine with my life. But still, I had that underlying sadness. An underlying feeling of despair, a sense of a lack of purpose in my life.

My upbringing has made me a person that longs for security. I have built my life on a safety net. I have never taken any risks. I have never done the bold thing. Even though I am very intelligent, I have always had the feeling of not being smart enough. Not being pretty enough. Not being thin enough—I am sure every woman in the modern world knows these feelings.

Completely randomly I came across an interview of yours some time ago. You spoke about being whole and living an life in integrity. And at that very moment the truth has struck me: I am not living my life authenticly or in integrity at all. That false desire of security has parted me from my true nature. I don‘t want to live the same day for the rest of my life. I want to take risks. I want to be courageous.
This realization has made me very vulnerable. I have been crying a lot in the past weeks. Even though I don‘t want to build my life on fear and on the feeling that I am not enough, my life to a new direction is very stressful still. I am very afraid of failure. I am afraid of being hurt. I am afraid of rejection.

But you won‘t experience deep human connection without putting yourself out there. And that is the essence of being alive in my opinion. The most valuable gift we have as humans is feeling that deep connection to other people.
To hear you talk about your childhood experiences, about you not feeling good enough, not receiving the love you needed as a child… it really resonated with me. You said, if there was one thing you wanted people to know, it would be that it is never too late and that one should never give up! This touched me very deeply.
Isn‘t it the most wondrous thing how two people that have never met each other, share experiences on such a profound level? We have never met each other and most likely never will, but still your words describe my life, my feelings and beliefs perfectly.
The human experience as a whole is simultaneously an individual experience as well as a shared experience. And it all boils down to the basic knowledge that we all are searching for love, safety and a sense of belonging.

There is this beautifu quote by Terentius Lucanus: I am a human being, I consider nothing that is human alien to me. This should be the wisdom we need in our life. What a different we would live in if people would be able to truly emphasize with each other. If we could put ourselves in the shoes of one another and walk a few steps. This would cure the temper of any cynic person.

All these words are written with just one intention: to let you know that there is this at least this one person that you have had a profound impact on. I am trying to change my whole life. I am applying for new jobs (as my job is making the most miserable). I want to get into a different profession, one that is meaningful to me as well as to the society. I have started my daily practice of meditation. I have found interest in Buddhist philosophies. I am trying every day to find my integrity, my true and authentic self and live my truth.

The life you are living is inspiring. I aspire to live a life as bold as you do. I want to start standing up for myself. For my beliefs and for our planet!
I have looked into your FDF and I would love to be a part of that movement. But they do not seem to take place in Germany yet, do they? I think we should change that! Is there any possibility to bring them to Germany?

Again, thank you for everything you do.

Love,
Nicole

So, so incredible that you are doing this. This is going to help move mountains. With you all the way and will support this in any way that I can.

Best,
Kennedy Davis

Wishing you every success with your PAC, Jane! Sadly, I am in the U.K. so cannot contribute; however I am supporting your work from afar.

My best to you always,

Ruth Jane Davison xx

I think what you are doing is just great, I am all about making an effort to cut down on fossil fuel and the carbon footprint we are leaving.

You are such an inspiration for me! The Climate PAC sounds fantastic. My name is Porter Betts from Atlanta and I have just begun an Atlanta Tuesdays Climate Walk down Peachtree Street during lunch hour every week. I am active on Facebook (Porter Betts on FB). Right now we have only a very few people interested, but I pray this may catch on with time and visibility (Greta inspired me by her singular stance which started a movement). Atlanta needs to see this, our city needs to step up visibly and symbolically.

Dear Ms. Fonda: Congratulations on the launch of your new political pac. The question I have for you is: do you still have a mailing address (such as a business address) where one could contact you in order to send photos and the like for your autograph? Thanks for taking the time to read this. Have fun! Yours-Steven Vasko

Thank you.

I am grateful for your efforts and commitment to making the world a better place. I’m a monthly donar. ✊🌎

Thank you Jane. This is the first PAC I ever donated to and I truly appreciate your efforts! Your explanation for its purpose opened my eyes – I always wonder how things get done in D.C.!

Keep marching on. Blessings. Some things are best expressed in song. https://youtu.be/77Eqql7tsGM

SUSTAINABILITY is only possible with much fewer people! – OVERPOPULATION is the real root cause of the climate catastrophe and all other huge PROBLEMS on earth! – Please read my PETITION for global birth regulations and maybe you sign and share it: https://www.change.org/p/united-nations-introduce-obligatory-world-wide-birth-controls

Thank you Jane! For everything you have done and continue to do!

Laughlin Artz who has extensively studied with Werner Erhard has been leading this campaign for 7 years. He has skateboarded across the United States, is creating the Concert for Power slated for January 2023 in New York and is demonstrating OUR starving for power by literally starving until he reaches the monetary goal to fund the Concert for Power.

I donate to both Campaigns and I thought I would mention a possible merger.

I have loved your films my whole life and watched Grace and Frankie all seasons at least 4 times so far.

Wishing you lots of love, light and power in your journey against cancer.

I have no doubt about you.

It is my honor. Sending you ❤️🕊🙏 today and always.

Hi again, looking forward to approval for my comment or even forwarding to the right person to continue the conversation about Jane accepting an interview by an award-winning teenage journalist as a reward for their already great journalism.

Dear Jane, You are such an awesome inspiration to young people! I don’t know if this is the right place for this, but here goes: My organization, Global Youth & News Media based in France, encourages teenage journalists to profile climate champions who are making a real difference, especially among their peers. We’ll soon morph that work into a competition to give further visibility to their work with the best profiles published in the educational news service News Decoder. Here’s the idea: Would you be willing to let the winning teenage journalists also do an interview with you?

Amandine, Appreciate your idea for trainings. What Greenpeace and Fire Drill Fridays are doing is like a training. We give Calls to Action and then Trainers at Greenpeace train people to be trainers of others or train them directly to call and/or visit their elected official about the specific issue we are tackling. Right now it’s an all-hands-on-deck moment to stop the Schumer/Manchin side deal. These are the kinds of things most impactful right now for individual people to do because they become part of an organized collective effort. Individual action isn’t nearly as impactful as working with an organization that already had strategies and tactics have been been proven. We have 8 years left before when we need to cut carbon emissions in half. It’s the time for big collective action.

Jane, I might be one of those candidates you’re looking for. Veteran of many campaigns, but running for the first time. Independent for the state House from Oregon’s North Coast. Climate crisis is my top issue. How do I contact your PAC?

Hi Jane

Your ClimatePac is such vital next level activism. We need to do more to disrupt the everyday not just with marches but precisely in this manner.
Also keep an eye on the wider release of this brilliant documentary: Finite: The Climate of Change. It tells of the solidarity, skill shares and sacrifice of two big anti coal (opencast extraction) campaigns and how sustained (community) campaigning does make a difference. Exceptional storytelling of a campaign in Northern England stopping the expansion of one and the opening of two further sites and the very tough campaign against RWE in Germany destroying villages and ancient woodland in parallel most footage from 2018 to 2020: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14961862/

Hi Jane,

Congratulations on launching your climate PAC! This is hugely important and if there’s anyone who has the platform and ability to pull in donors, it’s you. My wife and I signed up to become monthly donors right away.

Politics in general, and the climate crisis in particular, occupy the majority of my thoughts and time. I feel very helpless watching governments’ inaction across the globe as reports of irreversible impacts keep mounting. Being able to donate feels like taking action, more so than the actual organizing I’m involved in. I wish there were a way for all disparate movements to come together to create a collective capable of pressuring governments into meaningful action worldwide.

The war in Ukraine has highlighted our dependency on fossil fuels and how that dependency is escalating the humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, because leaders are reluctant to impose adequate sanctions against the Kremlin for fear of energy insecurity. What could be strategically used to emphasize the importance of a fast transition to clean energy has instead turned into simply changing fossil fuel vendors. It’s frustrating on so many levels.

A little side note: About two years ago, you gave me the advice to focus my energy on winning over the people who are willing to stand up for climate justice, but have not been asked to get involved, rather than trying to convince those who speak out against climate action to change their minds. That was some of the best advice I have ever received. Getting away from constant conflict made the activism much less overwhelming. It felt like getting permission to shut up once in a while. 😉

Wishing you all the success and a whole lot of donors!

Dear Jane, I wanted to write you this message for so long but never really found the right words, so I decided to just write down whatever’s on my mind!! the first thing I wanted to say to you is a massive THANK YOU!! thank you from the bottom of my heart for being such a fierce, amazing and inspiring woman. i sometimes can’t wrap my head around the fact how much you’ve inspired me in my life so far and how different my life would probably be if I never discovered you and your work- crazy to think how someone can influence someone’s life without even meeting them personally. I’m a 20 year old woman. there were many moments in my life where I felt lost and had no idea who I really was and what I wanted in life. many times I felt so alone and thought I was never gonna fit in. and somehow I came across you in one of those moments. I’m so grateful that I discovered you in this exact time- in a time where I was trying to fit in but felt so lonely and had no idea who I really was and was afraid to show my true personality because I was afraid to get bullied again and became a version of myself that just wasn’t me. I found you exactly when I needed someone like you in my life. your honesty, creativity and strength inspired me so much and helped me to find out who I really was. your movies, interviews and of course grace and frankie made me realise who I am, what I want in life and helped me to stop hiding behind a version of myself that wasn’t me at all. I wouldn’t be the woman that I am today if I hadn’t discovered you and your work. your energy and constant fight for justice is beyond inspiring. your work, especially Grace and Frankie, helped me so much to stop hiding and to truly embrace my true self and discover that true self. it’s a long journey and I’m still learning so much but I just wanted to let you know that I’m so so grateful that I found you on this journey. I really wanted to let you know that you and the things you do and say really changed my life in the best way possible. I found so much inspiration and positive energy while listening to you talk about your experiences in life or just watching Grace and Frankie and it was just really important for me to say THANK YOU for being you!! I’m sending you so much love!!

Dear Jane Fonda,
I am Brazilian. I have 2 twin daughters – Cecilia and Helena. They are 9 years-old. Thanks to you and all your contribution to our Earth planet, I am able to teach my girls to help the environment. They still don’t have social media, but I show them your posts ans interviews. It’s been a great inspiration. We all love you. We deeply need help in Brazil!
Love,
Gabriela

Getting people to just give money to an environmental cause is all good and well but you and I both know that it is a looong and slow slog. It’s hard to get people to part with their $$$…FULL STOP. It’s much easier to entice them into buying something that they already covet and want. It’s a win-win combination of getting people to HAPPILY part with their money. My idea will create a platform where people can shop for 100% donated items and 100% of the sales goes to your cause. (there is so much more to it, I promise) I don’t have the time or energy to start my own Charity but I believe in you and anything that you attach your time and energy to. People would feel GOOD shopping here and would get a virtue signal opportunity and get positive public acknowledgment and a pat on the back(which most people these days seem to need. Also, they will feel a part of something greater. Celebs will want to get involved for the same reason. I PROMISE it is worth your time to just hear me. Thank you:) sorry if I come across as pushy. I am just SOOO excited about creating a constant stream of money to save and SUPPORT the Earth. I’m also hell-bent on getting Clean Water for everyone.

Hi Jane! I am so excited to be here. I just finished watching an interview with you about your career and I feel so grateful and connected to you. We are so blessed to have you and your powerful voice. I just turned 50 and am dedicating the rest of my life to saving Mama Earth. I have had this idea that I have been cultivating for a while. I really want to share it with you. It’s a way to raise 100s of millions of $$$ for the environment…and for your cause. I’m not looking to make a profit…I just want to change lives. It’s a way to literally save the planet. It is a combination of using the population’s desire to be seen on Instagram,TV, and the Red Carpet. It’s a way to grab people’s attention through fashion and being seen. It’s also fun and interactive…which I think a lot of people need right now. I don’t want to drop the whole campaign right here though…I was hoping to message you privately if possible? I PROMISE you it’s an amazing idea and it wouldn’t take any of your energy…other than possibly bringing awareness to the campaign. It’s a campaign that never ends as it will constantly be raising $$ through fashion and what’s current. If you are willing to receive a private email from me, then please give me an email or email me at beesandbacon@gmail.com also my website is http://www.gohannahstone.com just so that you can see that I’m not a crazy stalker 🙂 I’m just an amazing idea person and I see an opportunity gap in Hollywood and regular everyday life that can and will wake people up and get them excited about raising $$ for Mother Earth. Thank you for your time, Jane, <3

Jane, It’s worth viewing Russell Brand’s youtube channel today – – 18 April – – whose description is this:
“Klaus Schwab and the WEF tout their work in saving the world using environmental metrics called ESGs. But if companies that have good scores are actually the worst environmental violators, could it be that what the WEF are really working towards is a social credit scoring system?” I note Brand has many of your concerns across the spectrum including the the future of the planet. I think you should guest on his channel, which has over 5 million subscribers, to explore your common concerns. Here’s the link:

Dear Ms. Fonda and thank you for using your voice to adress issues that affect the entire world. I know you have been known to speak loudly and clearly during your years, and I am thrilled to see that your voice boom as loudly as ever.

I am lucky enough to live in a country that takes the environmental issues very seriously, even though our population is but a small fraction in the whole scheme of things. Norway try to lead by example, and hope the rest of the world will follow and at least do some of the things.

I know Norway is not there yet, by far, but at least I know the topics are taken seriously and not silenced, and small steps are taken all the time to improve. Is it enough? I don’t know.

I wish you the very best of luck and send all the positive energies I can muster your way, may your words shake the stupidity out of the politicians and open their eyes to the problems we are facing as a united world.

Best regards from Norway
Axel Aubert

Dear Jane, Again thank you for your leadership, tenacity, and courage. Donation made today, happy as always to join with you on this next leg of our journey. I’ve been MIA lately taking risks with my heart to stretch myself but I’m still here. So glad you are too. much love, Dona

Wow! Very impressive! It makes me feel like our future is in good hands.

Dear Jane!

Happy Birthday!!! I hope you had a wonderful day with people you love, and I wish you much happiness, health and love in the next year!

I’m so sorry to hear about Tulea. I’ve had pets in my life since I was born so I know how hard it is to say goodbye. I hope you find some comfort in that she lived a long, wonderful life with you.

It felt so good to have a Fire Drill Friday meeting the other day! I really miss having them weekly on Zoom, and engaging with the amazing community of people that regularly attends. It isn’t quite the same on Facebook since we can’t engage with each other in the same way as we do on Zoom. I know you’ve been incredibly busy finishing Grace & Frankie and the film you just wrapped (Congratulations on both!), but I’m looking forward to seeing what 2022 will bring for Fire Drill Friday!

I continue to be very active as a volunteer with Greenpeace, and I’m really looking forward to the upcoming electoral work we will do in 2022. This is going to be so important. I’m currently a Greenpeace Ambassador and I’ve started leading national orientations for new volunteers via Zoom. It has been such a privilege to introduce newcomers to GP and watch them get involved. I’m also a coach for the Action Pod program that started over the summer, and I’ve guided pod leaders and their local groups as they organized rallies and petition deliveries, held call and text banking parties, and wrote letters to the editor on climate-related topics. This has all been very rewarding work and I’m looking forward to the projects GP has planned for 2022.

I’m so grateful that you started Fire Drill Fridays since this is what got myself and so many others to start volunteering with Greenpeace. And our community of staff and volunteers is just incredible. It truly feels like a big family!

I hope you are doing well and get a chance to relax every now and then during your projects.

Have a wonderful Christmas and a very Happy New Year!!! See you in 2022!!!

Jenny

Was thinking of you today as it’s winter solstice and that always reminds me that it’s your birthday. So, HAPPY BIRTHDAY! And Merry Christmas. I hope you get to spend it with some family and friends. All the love and support ( especially for Tulea). I know what you mean too. I had a dog once that was my soulmate. There’s others you love with all your heart but that soulmate bond can never be broken. Love from Newfoundland, Canada

Lesley

Thank you so much for sharing! This is incredible. And, happy birthday!

Thanks again for all you do.

Hi Jane! I am very happy to hear about these students, I believe it was the best birthday present you could ever receive, hope, hope that the future is not totally lost, there are still young people who want to fight global warming. I live in Brazil, unfortunately I’m out of high school, I’m at university and studying History, but next year, when the in-person classes return, I’ll do everything so that some environmental movement can also happen here. Here we have many problems with mining dams, now in the last flood of rivers in the Amazon, several ferries were installed on the main rivers in Brazil, and unfortunately nobody does anything. We are in serious global trouble, but we must not give up hope. Now with the arrival of new elections, we must seriously analyze the candidates and vote for those who want the best for the environment. Thank you Jane for always sharing stories like that, they motivate us. Happy Birthday, health and lots of love in your life. kiss Joana

Fantastic story. Happy Birthday Jane. All the very best for you and your new year. Jason x

So nice to learn about this, it gives me hope too.

P.s. I remember your birthday is on winter solstice 🙂 I wish you all the best, have a great day and happy birthday Jane!

Lots of love from Croatia,
Mirela

Do you have an idea of when the new movie you’re working on with Lily will be released? Will it be for only for the theatres or only by the streaming?

This past year was not easy for Brazilians (my people!) we had so many losses on the enteirtanment world (with the actor and comedian Paulo Gustavo, he was incredibly funny and loved for everybody), many loved musicians left us, and it had all of the covid situation that I assume you already know, about our terrible president…

I hope I get to watch you next year making the protest in front of the White House, always with a smile on your face and an uncontrollable desire to change the world!!!

Xoxo, I hope you have an incredible 2022 with great health to continue giving us wonderful films and tv shows and to continue giving us hope for a better world.

I wish that you, in a few years, be here celebrating your centenary with us, whether here on the blog, on the streets protesting, anyway, you got the message!!

I love you so much and I’m thankful every single day of my life because I live in the same Universe, the same galaxy, in the same world that Jane Fonda lives. You have no idea how much you inspire me, and inspire young people too. 💗💗💗

Happy New Year, Jane!

Thank your all you’ve done this year, especially elevating very important voices with Fire Drill Fridays! Cant wait to see what’s in store this coming year for Fire Drill Fridays! The last one of 2021 was especially empowering.

2022 is going to be a critical year, and I am looking forward to fighting along with you and so many others in 2022!

Best,
Kennedy Davis

So impressed with these young people! We need more kids (all over the world) like these, who are committed towards making the world a better place for all of us!

Hope this reply gets ‘approved’, Jane; it seems that none of my other comments on your blogs have been approved, although I am certain I have not said anything I shouldn’t 🤔🙏🏻❤️!

Hi Jane!
I wish you and all of us find the best way for our challenges in the coming year.
Don Quixote tells very sweetly to Sancho, “As you are not experienced in the world’s things, all the things with some difficulty seem imposible to you, Trust the time that usually gives us sweet outlets to many bitter difficulties”.
Today we could say “Worthwhile things are not inmediate or easy to get them but time can make them possible”. That’s what it will be like if we’re all together.
Thank you Jane for all you do. My Christmas card.

Jane, when will be released the last episodes of G&F on Netflix?
hugs ❤

Really great blog… love to see inspired young people propelled forward with the encouragement and resources of such a solid, committed and authentic rolemodel.

Lovely Jane, I honestly can’t begin to express how much you matter in this world. You really rock.

Keep fighting like you always do. I’m from the UK and I genuinely want to visit the USA just to be on Fonda’s turf! You’re so cool 😎

Hi Jane,
I want to say you that at last I’ve found your book “What can I do?” in Spanish and finally I’ve been able to read it. First of all, I would like to thank you and Greenpeace also for the ongoing struggle and information tasks regarding climate change that’s reflected in this book. Thank you also for your work in Fire Drill Fridays.

There’s something that has surprised me in the book like the relationship of individualism with the lack of sensitivity towards this problem, I’ve thought about it a lot and I think it’s true. The three countries that you mention as individualists, USA, Canada and UK may also be the Western countries most involved in the fossil fuel businesses and maybe that’s why changes could be more difficult for them. The most countries in the world even Europans ones are small in size compared to the US and Canada (It’s not the case with UK, by the way, in all senses they see themselves great and try to seem great but that time is over…) and maybe this size allows that all issues be more easy to handle included climate change. Each country in Europe isn’t itself a power and therefore we’ve fewer economic interests. The end of fossil fuels is rahter an opportunity to get out of the current dependence of them and time to undertake the change to renewable energies where we can compete more equally, I think because of that there’s a less resistance to change.

I’m glad you mentioned in the book the necessary social protection within the Green New Deal, but I think it must be now, the implementation of this measure also supposes a fight against inequality. In Europe we’re trying to create the so-called “welfare state” where no one is excluded from education, health, …. basic rights…. and guarantee a salary when someone loses their job, this social protection has worked perfectly with the pandemic where many people have lost his job for months, if this protection had not been, we would have a social crisis never seen before, we avoid it and I’m proud of it.

With no offence I must say that I’m very worried about democracy in USA, about voting restrictions and your strange electoral system, …. in fact many people in the world are worried too. What is happening with the Republicans? It’s insane! you know the rest of the world needs USA to be a strong democracy in order to move towards fairer societies and obviously to fight against climate change, I deeply wish and hope so!.
We’re citizens in the world and our greatest responsibility is to exercise the right to vote, we must elect the right government to undertake the transition to clean energy. Each country must take on this challenge, in my country it has already happened with coal a few year ago.

The film “Don’t look up” reflects the irresponsibility of our leaders and just at the ending of the movie, just before the tragedy take place, it’s very inspiring when someone say “we really did have everything, didnt’we?” I hope it never happens with climate change. I’m very very gratefull for your activism. Congratulations for the book!!

I wish you a soon recovery for your recent surgery.

(It would be interesting if some of your guests in Fire Drill Fridays will speak about a future with new energies and how the necessary transition would be approached)

Jane,

Great FDF today! Excited to see how the community can get involved in the March 4th show!

I just saw the trailer for Apple TV’s “Dear…”! Filming that episode here in Indiana last January will be something I will look back on for the rest of my life. The crew was incredible, and it was such a learning experience! I can’t wait to see the other letter writer’s stories and to hear your thoughts! It was sort of funny watching the trailer and seeing how much I’ve grown and changed physically, in my activism, and my career.

Right after I filmed that episode, I got involved in local climate organizations, and then in June, I attended the Treaty People Gathering, met some amazing people, and since then we have held rallies and protests at multiple bank branches in urban areas of Indiana, temporarily put on hold now for safety reasons. But we’ll be back out there as soon as we can, doing our part to stop Line 5!

You said in the show “I can’t make my life longer, but I can make it deeper.” From my point of view, you have accomplished this and more. I know for a fact that you’re books, activism, and acting have given countless people new ways to look ahead in their life and to examine the past to become whole. By sharing your journeys and your wisdom, you have played a part in helping people all over the world find their paths.

I hope your shoulder heals very quickly! Stay safe out there!

Best,
Kennedy Davis

Hi, Jane❤!
What’s your position regarding Russia-Ukraine war? What do you think about both the ways in which Putin and Zelensky are managing this military conflict? How about Biden’s position?!
I live in the Northern part of Romania and we share two borders with Ukraine.

sending you love,

Lovely. That insight that storytelling is the best way to convey something is what New Journalism was crafting in the Sixties – – the transparency about ALL news stories being narratives that are structured by reporters and editors. And now this blog too is a narrative overview of something ongoing. So one way and another JF didn’t just donate, she got creative just as her students (and I like to think of them as having an extra tutor because what’s that Zoom call if not a group tutorial) are getting creative with an evolving narrative of their own. JF has street smarts as well as being a fab fine actress.

hello Jane, it was just my birthday and im going to see company on broadway im very happy.

I wanted to share with you my cupcake shop https://northwoodsfarmcupcakes.com its my own shop dedicated to My father our farm is called Northwoods farm anyways I was wondering I would love to send a couple boxes to your grace and Frankie set and to you.
