Jane Fonda Joins ‘Better Living Through Chemistry’

• Sounds interesting. Looking forward to it. The cosmetics companies knowing that there’s a huge consumer base out there and isn’t dismissing them is just great too. Diane Keaton is another great example. Keeps the visibility up too…which is really the goal between great parts…Kate Winslet…these are smart women that don’t fight it they go with it…the secret of success for the biggest male movie stars in my opinion both past and present from Henry Fonda and James Stewart to Clooney, Day Lewis, Penn, Nicholson et al. And yes Streep who figured this out a long time ago – you don’t let the cliches of the culture of the business define who you are at any given moment in your life or your career. Eastwood would not be directing if this were the case. He would potentially be all puffy in a straight-to-video “Expendables 15.”

• We would hope that Hanoi Jane would find Better living by moving to Vietnam along with sincere and truly heartfelt apologies to those veterans whom she affected by her visit to No. Vietnam.

• Did it ever occur to you that her actions potentially saved some lives in the long run? The old “aid and comfort” red flag. Why is it that you don’t rush to say the same about Morley Safer? I’ve never forgotten those images of Americans burning down a straw thatched home – have you? Many Americans still will not accept the fact that Viet Nam was a disaster on every level including the draft. If there were a draft today and you have a son in high school perhaps your comment would not have appeared. By and large the “Tom Joads” of the sixties fought and died in that war. Too controversially (perhaps if not definitely,) and VERY indirectly, she gave voice to what Kennedy, Johnson, McNamara, Nixon, Kissinger could have called a “silent minority-” disabled, disfigured, both physically and psychologically, when not dead. What did you do (or have you done) for any REAL cause? Go on. Let’s hear it.
