Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda is not only an actress; she’s also an author, model, activist and businesswoman. She debuted her acting career on stage in There Was a Little Girl, for which she earned a Tony award nomination. On screen, she debuted in the film Tall Story. Throughout the years, she has had many notable roles, including in movies such as Sunday in New York, Barefoot in the Park, Barbarella, Cat Ballou, and Period of Adjustment. She also received critical acclaim and two Academy awards for her performance in Klute and Coming Home.

Before the emergence of online classes, Jane was already teaching fitness through her exercise videos. She was also involved in numerous charities, environmental and socio-political movements. She is perhaps best known for being one of the most visible icons of the counterculture era during the Vietnam War. These days, she is among the most outspoken environmental activists, even going as far as being arrested three times in consecutive weeks protesting climate change outside the United States Capitol in 2019.
