Klute Was The Key to Jane Fonda’s Radical Self Reinvention

In 1970, Jane Fonda almost quit the role for which she won her first Oscar. The character Bree Daniels, in Alan J. Pakula’s surveillance thriller
Klute, was a New York City sex worker caught in the middle of a missing persons case. That spring, Fonda had spent two months on a road trip across America, where she witnessed firsthand the social and political issues that plagued the nation. She met with students at universities and soldiers at GI coffeehouses, was arrested for passing out antiwar pamphlets at army bases, and attended a speech on the women’s movement that ignited her own personal feminist revolution.

The history of Jane Fonda’s career is a history of modern Hollywood. The 83-year-old actor, born in New York to movie star Henry Fonda and socialite Frances Ford Seymour, made her screen debut in 1960, at a time when the industry was drifting away from the well-worn formulas of the golden age and towards a more daring and experimental future. She transitioned effortlessly from frothy romantic comedies to gritty crime thrillers and psychological dramas, and then continued working for the next six decades, while also establishing herself as a political and environmental activist.
Ahead of the 2021 Golden Globes, where Fonda is set to receive the Cecil B DeMille Award for outstanding contributions to the world of entertainment, we revisit her best performances to date.
