Jane Fonda

Actress Jane Fonda has been reported to the Capitol Police byRep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., for her suggestion that.

Fonda is a two-time Academy Award Winner for her roles in 1971's "Klute" and 1978's "Coming Home." While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious issue and extremely important to me, my comment on The View was obviously made in jest," Fonda said in a statement according to Fox News. ["80 For Brady." "Jane Fonda and The View, must issue a full retraction of Fonda’s sickening call to murder pro-life politicians and those who fight for the rights of unborn babies." some people quite simply need to die in order for society to improve." "She will be having to answer for these comments." Luna added that Fonda "did not retract or clarify that she was 'joking' with her statement." It’s amazing how the most successful propaganda the US has ever put out was convincing its people that violence is not an effective way to enact change," said one Twitter account. This leads to targeting and can result in someone being seriously hurt," Rep Luna added. We have experienced, many decades now, of having agency over our bodies, of being able to determine when and how many children to have," Fonda said on the show. We're not going back, I don't care what the laws are," Fonda added as the show's audience begins to applaud. Luna announced on Twitter that she had notified Capitol Police of "Jane Fonda’s call to murder pro-life politicians."

While soeaking on "The View" 85-year-old actress and abortion rights activist, Jane Fonda recommended "murder" as a possible solution to regaining abortion ...

The actor and activist warns that the fossil fuel industry is destroying the climate — and legislators won't do anything to stop it.

That means reporters, elected officials and the public have to recognize that our bias is allowing fossil fuel companies to get away with murder. Maybe then, we can all live in the safe and healthy communities we deserve. It is time to stop pretending and giving the fossil fuel industry a free pass. ... Reporters, elected officials, and we, the voters, should be giving the same treatment to climate disasters.” Our attitude towards the fossil fuel industry’s predatory behavior in these places mirrors our anemic response to failing schools, food insecurity and homelessness — we shake our heads and then ignore it. Those corporate executives would end up at a defense table in a criminal courtroom, and voters would oust the politicians who let this behavior go unchecked.

It is always some industry, aided and abetted by the politicians Over the last several years, extreme climate disasters have increasingly rocked this country, destroying homes and taking lives.

Jane Fonda suggested her call to murder pro-life advocates “was obviously made in jest” in order “to make a point.” But what “point” was she actually trying ...

“Whether inside or outside the womb, the taking of innocent life is never an acceptable position.” “While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious issue and extremely important to me, my comment on The View was obviously made in jest,” she said. The tragic irony unfolding in real time is that some abortion activists seem to believe that for them, the ends justify the means. Our defense was always the same: “We’re just kidding!” we’d say, to which she’d always reply: “Many a truth is spoken in jest.” Joking about murdering those who oppose murder reveals a peculiar point of view, of course. Sarcasm was one of her pet peeves.

*** On the heels of 80 for Brady, Jane Fonda embarks on another, far darker quest in Moving On. At an old friend's out-of-town funeral, Claire (Fonda) bluntly ...

The black sheep of a literally and emotionally bankrupt home, 9-year-old Cáit (Catherine Clinch) is shipped to her cousins’ idyllic dairy farm in Southern Ireland for the summer. If EO the donkey and the boys of Close didn’t drain your waterworks, The Quiet Girl is eager to try. *** Fans of Ari Aster and Robert Eggers tend to view the Scream movies as the Marvel films of the horror genre. The film’s relevance also manifests in Vanderbilt and Busick’s devious portrayal of the modern horror cinephile, satirizing the indie and elevated horror fans that will likely steer clear of this movie due to its capitalistic appeal. But it’s not just the contents of Sandra’s plate that suggest a put-upon person; it’s how Hansen-Løve allows all the other characters to monologue. The lead cast’s combined 240 years of on-screen confidence smooth the tone shifts, and writer-director Paul Weitz (About a Boy, American Pie) smartly pins Claire’s revenge plot to inequities in memory and absolution that haunt our cultural conversations—essentially, who gets to “move on.” R.

"Moving On" is a dark comedy with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin. They're funny, but they aren't a punchline. How to watch "Grace and Frankie" duo shine.

When Claire arrives at the service to greet Howard (Malcolm McDowell), the husband of her late friend, she drops a surprising bombshell. It’s hard to imagine a more accepting person than Evelyn, who is about as live-and-let-live as they come. Turns out you can’t just waltz in and buy a gun in California, to Claire’s chagrin. An event from Claire’s past destroyed her, ending her first marriage to Ralph (Richard Roundtree) and haunting her ever since. There are several confrontations between the two, but a climactic one is a showcase for Fonda, the best thing she’s done — or been given to do — in years. It’s also a relief to see Fonda and Tomlin play women whose age is not discounted, but is also not disqualifying. “Moving On,” a dark comedy written and directed by Paul Weitz, isn’t a great movie by any means, but it’s a pretty good one.

Claire (Jane Fonda) arrives in California to attend the funeral of her old college roommate, and to inform the departed's husband Howard (Malcolm McDowell) that ...

At one point, Evelyn notes that she’s often mistaken for being “funny” when she’s really “just talking,” an idea that goes a long way to mitigate the potential shtickiness of Tomlin’s shuffling performance, which threatens to nudge into the red when her character is forced to make a scene. He also writes about movies and other pop-culture stuff for a bunch of outlets including Polygon, Inside Hook, Vulture, and SportsAlcohol.com, where he also has a podcast. Here, the movie refuses to pull punches and give Claire a grudge that can be softened into a pat lesson in forgiveness. Claire’s other ex-roommate, the more sardonic Evelyn (Lily Tomlin), does not exactly believe that Claire will go through with it, but she willingly accompanies her anyway as she goes through the motions of gun-shopping and murder-planning. Moving On takes its central conceit seriously enough to simultaneously admit that Claire’s plan to murder Howard may not be especially well-thought-out (can a visitor from Ohio really buy a gun in California?) and generate the suspicion that she may well go through with it anyway. Claire (Jane Fonda) arrives in California to attend the funeral of her old college roommate, and to inform the departed’s husband Howard (Malcolm McDowell) that she intends to kill him.

The invigorating success of both Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin's television and film careers over the last few years cannot be overstated.

Tomlin––ever the ying to Fonda’s yang––enters the picture quite memorably and proceeds to steal moments where she can. The picture opens at the wake of an old friend of both Claire (Fonda) and Evelyn (Tomlin). About a decade ago both legends found themselves in a position to move back to the top of the call sheet.

Look, close-minded people are gonna get angry no matter what you do, so you may as well make it clear that the pains inflicted on marginalized people in this country might just make a bitch contemplate murder, however jokingly. [why we love Jane Fonda](https://www.themarysue.com/jane-fonda-on-the-view-defunding-police/). In a highly frustrating attempt to derail the conversation, one co-host attempts to make this all about how Jane is an activist and will eventually win a Nobel Prize for her work, but Jane keeps her foot down. And hey, she does have a point, and a little bit of damage control is understandable. [We live in a pretty damn unfair world](https://www.themarysue.com/arkansas-joins-states-looking-to-loosen-child-labor-laws/), and therefore it’s only natural to get frustrated. In this video from her recent appearance on The View, Fonda adamantly declares that we’re “not going back” to the way things once were, specifically regarding a woman’s right to her own bodily autonomy.

"While women’s reproductive rights are a very serious issue and extremely important to me, my comment on The View was obviously made in jest," her statement sent to the Washington Examiner said. “For people to go on national news outlets and make these calls of violence simply because they don’t like the fact that we are taking stands to protect life, these people are unhinged. “It’s especially alarming being that Republican female members especially, as a whole, seem to be more targeted because a lot of these predators look at us like victims.

Fonda believes that her body language and tone made it clear that she was exaggerating to prove a point. While it is clear that Fonda made a mistake in her choice of words, the question remains whether she should be held accountable for them. Luna identified the comment as a threat to pro-life activists and immediately reported it to Capitol Police demanding that Fonda and “The View” hosts be held accountable. While the statement has been seen as controversial, Fonda claims that it was made in jest. While Fonda’s co-hosts laughed off the comment, Fonda did not indicate that it was a joke or hyperbole during the show. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., reported Jane Fonda to Capitol Police “for threatening public officials” after the actress suggested the “murder” of pro-life activists as a solution to push the pro-choice agenda.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin team up for well-made drama about a woman dealing, decades later, with the trauma of sexual assault.

The "9 to 5," "Grace and Frankie," "80 for Brady" duo team up in Paul Weitz's amusing and bittersweet comedy-drama about a woman with murder on her mind.

In the end, “Moving On” emerges as a feel-good movie by way of some feel-bad events, mainly that heinous slice of history between Claire and Howard. [“80 for Brady”](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2023-02-01/review-80-for-brady-jane-fonda-lily-tomlin-sally-field-rita-moreno) and “9 to 5” co-star, [Lily Tomlin](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-ca-mn-lily-tomlin-grandma-laff-20150607-story.html)), who makes a brash entrance at Joyce’s funeral — and is even more unfiltered at her memorial gathering. The murder thread picks up again in earnest in the film’s third act and manages to resolve itself in a series of surprising and satisfying if perhaps slightly convenient moves. But by then we’re so invested in Claire and her deep-rooted cause that, whatever happens, we just want to see her happy. If that’s no great shock, given the length, breadth and caliber of their careers, it’s still stirring and impressive to behold. [Jane Fonda](https://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/la-et-mn-jane-fonda-in-five-acts-review-20180920-story.html), in one of her best, most resonant film performances since she returned to the screen in 2005, stars as Claire, a twice-divorced grandmother and dog lover who travels from Ohio to L.A. Howard’s potential killing may be the springboard here, but this compact tale is about so much more than that. At times, the more audacious Evelyn proves an unexpected voice of reason. (The film was shot largely in Pasadena, Altadena and Burbank.) But Claire has an agenda beyond just honoring the memory of her departed pal: Now that Joyce is gone, Claire wants to kill Joyce’s husband, Howard (Malcolm McDowell), for vengeful reasons that will unfold as we go. But her mission is, admittedly, rather harebrained — in contrast to the seemingly circumspect Claire’s general demeanor. How and when she’ll accomplish that will, she hopes, present itself.

While a bit uneven, “Moving On” is frequently good fun, simply because stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin have great chemistry, writes critic Moira Macdonald.

Ultimately, “Moving On” is about friendship, and who better than Grace and Frankie to show us that? But it’s always a pleasure to see Fonda and Tomlin, famously longtime friends both on and off the screen, together again, even in a project as uneven as “Moving On.” A few minutes into the movie, Claire arrives — clearly haunted by and upset about something, but we don’t know what — at the funeral of a friend. Claire (Fonda), perfectly coifed and lipsticked, is the more uptight one of the two; curly-haired Evelyn (Tomlin) is more freewheeling.

Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin add some welcome danger to their shtick in "Moving On." We've seen the icons paired a lot — way back in 1980's "9 to 5," in seven ...

There seems to be a lot of Tomlin in her character, too. Claire doesn't get many of the jokes in the dark comedy but, like Fonda herself in talk show appearances, her earnest responses to strange situations are often amusing. Fonda's Claire is attending the funeral of a friend and she's speaking to the friend's husband (Malcolm McDowell), with whom she has some history that the movie will reveal.

Fonda and Tomlin have great chemistry but Paul Weitz's latest film is not the biting dark comedy its deadly premise would suggest.

Her entrance in the film is enough to make Moving On worth watching. Especially as it tries to argue that maybe the more things change, the more they stay the same. With [Moving On](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/moving-on-2022), coming shortly after the release of [80 For Brady](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/80-for-brady-2023), where they starred alongside Sally Field and Rita Moreno, it’s clear the two show no signs of stopping their comedic pas de deux. Upping the ante, Claire makes this known to her victim: “Now that it can’t hurt her, I’m going to kill you.” And while Evelyn is initially amused if unconvinced, she eventually agrees to help Claire out, for reasons that become clearer the more we learn about her own relationship with Joyce. And that is best left unspoiled—mostly because Tomlin’s emotionally grizzled performance deserves to be experienced in full. [9 to 5](https://www.avclub.com/film/reviews/9-to-5-1980), Netflix’s [Grace And Frankie](https://www.avclub.com/tv/reviews/grace-and-frankie) is a great primer on how much these two legendary actresses love working together.
