Title: 'I have so little time left!' Jane Fonda, 76, reveals she can't stop crying as she comes to terms with her own mortality

'I have so little time left!' Jane Fonda, 76, reveals she can't stop crying as she comes to terms with her own mortality

She may not look anywhere near her 76 years but Jane Fonda says she is well aware of her age.

The Hollywood legend – who has made her career in an industry which isn't exactly kind to aging actresses - admits she has been brought to tears on more than one occasion recently as she comes to terms with her own mortality.

In a thoughtful blog post entitled 'Crying', which has since been removed, Jane wrote: '[I've been thinking], how come my tears are so close to the surface? And I’ve come to feel it has to do with age. I have become so wonderfully, terribly aware of time, of how little of it I have left; how much of it is behind me, and everything becomes so precious (sic).'

I have become so wonderfully, terribly aware of time, of how little of it I have left; how much of it is behind me, and everything becomes so precious (sic).'

Despite Jane worrying about her mortality, she believes getting older has its advantages, namely allowing her to appreciate the beauty in the world.

She said: 'With age, I am able to appreciate the beauty in small things more than when I was younger perhaps because I pay attention more.

'I feel myself becoming part of everything. I seem to be super sensitive to people's joy and pain. I ache for unwanted children in the world, for polars bears, and elephants, and Monarch butterflies, and dolphins, gorillas and chimpanzees (sic).'

Most recently Jane found herself becoming emotional at her friend Kerry Washington’s baby shower on Sunday.

She wrote: 'Today I was at Kerry Washington’s baby shower. She's 7 months pregnant and looking radiant.

'It was a wonderful party with guests being asked to go into a photo booth and take 6 different poses that were then mounted on a black paper where we could write a message; signing a diaper (I wrote "I hope everything comes out alright!"), putting signed thumb prints onto a drawing of a tree - I had no idea there could be so many nice ways to commemorate the up-coming event and leave loving memories for mom and baby.

'I hadn't seen Kerry since she was pregnant and as soon as I saw her with her gorgeous belly I starting crying.

'Then Kerry's mother spoke, giving words of wisdom to Kerry and the rest of us about how to raise a baby to be a happy, fully realized, person. I started crying again (and it wasn’t because I wanted to go back and do my own raising of my own kids all over again with more wisdom, though that did press in on me) . . . it was because her words moved me (sic).

'I've listed sad things but what startles me even more is how I get emotional about nice things, like Kerry Washington’s belly and her mother’s words of wisdom and Elizabeth Lesser telling me about the new book she’s writing. Maybe because I'm older my heart is wider open, like a net that wants to catch all the things that matter (sic).'

The thrice-married prolific blogger, who has three children, also joked she is becoming so weepy these days that she can 'only wear waterproof mascara from now on'.

Post by: Oceander on February 25, 2014, 03:40:36 am: She's had 76 years to wrap her tiny little liberal mind around the concept, and she's only "getting it" now? Pathetic. While it can get a little tiresome every so often, I much rather enjoy my father-in-law's rather blunt statements about how he's gonna be going soon now - doesn't know if he'll see the other side of another winter - sometimes said with a little twinkle in the eye - than this sort of self-absorbed, maudlin liberal tripe.

Mom will soon be 87. She is more active than I am. And, she is happy. Dad left her good, and she has 10 healthy kids that adore her, along with all the grand, great, great great grandkids. I hope I develop her attitude. I'm not there, yet. :silly:

No, it isn't. A few hours before Dad died, my oldest son talked to him in private. I don't know the conversation, but Dad did say that he was so happy, and that Tony said he was his hero. His last wish was to see his grandkids, and they obliged him. I don't know if I will be happy to go, but he sure was. ^-^

Post by: alicewonders on February 25, 2014, 05:58:15 am: I was so lucky to get to visit my grandfather a week before he died and we had a good long conversation. I didn't realize at the time it would be the last time we would talk, but I think he must have. He told me he was ready to go, and that he wasn't afraid of dying...and that he was saved. That was a big thing because he had never been very religious. In hindsight, he was preparing me for his death.

About a year later, I had a vivid dream where I saw him - all dressed in white (he was just a plain country farmer, always worn denim overalls) - I was crying in my dream asking, "Pappaw, what are you doing here?"

He said, "I just wanted you to know that I'm doing just fine!"

I just know he came to me in that dream, I still cry happy tears when I think about it.

Personally, I care about as much for what she feels at 76 as I did when Castro turned 76. For people who love America, my position is different.

Yes, he did. That's what's known as a visitation. What a blessing for you!

Happy, one way or another, your father was a saint. It is the first obligation of the old to convince the young that life is worth living. The man clearly understood the essentials of life and acted according to its rules.

If we're lucky, we're happy to go. I see the process. As we age, life just gets harder... less energy, more pains and conditions. I'm not ready yet, but I understand how it happens, and if God grants me the time, I'm sure I will be.

He was a good man. He left me with so many stories to remember and relate. When I was 50, he wrote me a letter detailing his redemption and his love for his family. One line stood out. He wrote, " As much as God loves His children, that is how much I love mine."

Since Mom and Dad lived in Fla. the last few decades, Mom planned a small funeral here in Ohio. At a few points, the viewing line went outside. He was remembered and loved, and that gives me comfort.

Thank you for your kind comments. Though it was nearly three years ago, my love for him is still engrained in my heart like it was yesterday.

I think Rappy has touched on the distinction between dreams and visitations here before. Yours sounds like a classic visitation. Very vivid at the time, and it remains very vivid in your memory now. What a gift!

Post by: aligncare on February 26, 2014, 03:30:37 am: Couple of things. A minor correction and some detail. The year was 1973, not '72 when Fonda came to the campus of Yuba college (where, by the way, she was warmly received).

As it turned out we had both been in Vietnam the year before. Me, stationed near Saigon with the Air Force, and she making her infamous appearance in Hanoi. Although at the time, I was unaware she was in country.

When she spoke on campus I was still quite politically naïve – some of you think still am. I hadn't understood the significance of her visit to a college campus so soon after her controversial trip to North Vietnam where she was photographed sitting on a NVA anti-aircraft gun. With so many pilots shot down over Hanoi many thought it was a betrayal and felt the image of her smiling with NVA anti-aircraft gunners served as a tool in Ton Duc Thang's propaganda war.

Now, after gaining some perspective I recognize her speaking tour of college campuses was an attempt to rehabilitate her image after her betrayal tour of the North. By the way, she did give an apology of sorts in 1988 in an interview with Barbara Walters for some of what she did and said while touring in Hanoi. Of course, many veterans never forgave her.

Honestly? The interview I turned in to the editor was a fluff piece. Like something you'd see in people magazine. I hadn't developed the probing instincts of a reporter, yet. Besides, I was awestruck by her celebrity. I mean, there I was interviewing Barbarella! Behind those shades I was making goo-goo eyes.

Horseshit.

Hanoi Jane is a lying, traitorous, communist bitch, and I hope I live to see the day when she finally dies, rots and departs for her long prepared place in eternal Hell. She's another one I hope they roast upside down and head first in a narrow red hot cast iron tomb.

And Farah Fawcett or Lily Tomlin (Edith Ann) hair for the girls.

When her time comes and she is laid in the ground, I envision a line of Vietnam veterans outside the cemetery gate, armed with cases of beer and full bladders.

I might eat a full load of Chili to go with the beer. Jane deserves a full service remembrance.

I spoke with Jane Fonda in 1972. I was covering her appearance on campus for the paper. Yeah, that's me.

Those glasses!

That was the look, wasn't it?

Horns, vocals and guitar in a working club band.

Post by: aligncare on February 26, 2014, 04:22:03 pm: Why does that not surprise me? Nice video.

There's no record of my playing days left. Just a few faded photographs. We played a few clubs in Greenwich Village and other spots in Manhattan and the typical weddings, parties, gigs like that.

Post by: NavyCanDo on February 26, 2014, 07:48:53 pm: Cat Ballou is still one of my favorite movies and in 1965 when it came out her trip to North Vietnam was still 7 years away so there was no reason at the time to despise her. And in 1965 the only World Affairs that concerned me was wondering what tropical deserted island you could get stranded on that could be reach by a 3-hour tour out of Honolulu.

Post by: mountaineer on February 26, 2014, 08:35:06 pm: Joan, if you really care about your own mortality, perhaps you should consider repenting of your sins and asking for forgiveness.
Otherwise, your boo-hooing is just emptiness.
