Actress and climate activist Jane Fonda explored running in the recall election to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to sources familiar with her thinking and a secret poll obtained by The Chronicle, one that showed some vulnerability for the governor.
The idea ultimately fizzled out; Fonda did not file paperwork to run before the deadline and she said she wholeheartedly backs the Democratic governor.
