Editor's Take:

Jane Fonda has been a star, a campaigner and a fitness icon. The daughter of Henry Fonda, she began acting in the 1960s and found fame with Barbarella. She went on to win Best Actress Oscars for Klute and Coming Home. Her opposition to the Vietnam War, including a visit to Hanoi, made her a hated figure for some Americans. In the 1980s her workout videos sold in their millions. Later she found new fans with Grace and Frankie. In her eighties she was arrested at climate protests in Washington.
