Jane Fonda burned up the screen—and the cover of NEWSWEEK—during the 1960s when she grabbed fame as both a sex symbol and a political activist. But she was no mere pinup, she blossomed in Hollywood, nabbing an Oscar for 1978’s Coming Home and starring in On Golden Pond. She later flexed her way to becoming an exercise icon. Now she has a new book and is reading for her own 'third act.' See photos from her remarkable life and career.
