Jane Fonda is one of cinema's most celebrated actresses. She's also one of its most controversial. A two-time Academy Award winner, Fonda has starred in some of Hollywood's finest pictures. But she was briefly blacklisted by the entertainment industry after a misjudged but well-intentioned trip to Hanoi during the height of the Vietnam War. A political and social activist for much of her life, Fonda is also a feminist and committed environmentalist. Now in her eighties, she's still working in film and television, and getting arrested for protesting climate change!
More recently, she shared that her cancer is now in remission, and that she will cease chemotherapy treatments for non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, three months after revealing the diagnosis. Previously, she had been diagnosed with breast cancer in 2010.
In celebration of this victory, and her 85 years on earth, click through this gallery for a brief look back at the life and career of Jane Fonda.
