The biggest stroke of luck was getting the role in “Monster-in-Law” at a point in my career when I had been out of the acting business for 15 years or more.
It was with Jennifer Lopez, and it was a great comeback for me. I was almost 65 years old when I got this script out of the blue.
It was the only smart career thing I ever did. I thought, ‘People are going to come to the movie to see J.Lo, but they’ll rediscover Fonda’, and that’s what happened.Jane Fonda speaking to the Daily Mail about how gay icon Jennifer Lopez “saved” her career.

Jane Fonda is not just a film star – she’s an American icon.

Not to mention, gay director Robert Luketic directed this.

i suppose its safe to say that shes having the last laugh on the shitheads republicans who dogged her for all those years.
she looks great and im sure it kills.

I’m all for Jane, however, J Lo is not a gay icon!
cuteguy
JLo is the ultimate gay icon. Except to some of these old bitter queens on here. She is an incredible example of how to be a mom to a non binary child, giving Emme unconditional love. She had a gay aunt who she dedicated her hit show that she produced The Fosters to. JLo is the queen and the ultimate gay icon. Hallow be thy JLo

I imagine everyone’s considered “old and bitter” if they disagree with you since you’re usually so full of bullshit.

Shouldn’t your nurse be monitoring your internet use at the old age home? Maybe it’s time for ur meds. And I think the only thing that is full is your diaper that needs to be changed

And she hasn’t stopped working since!

I love Jane Fonda! She can command a movie or TV screen with the best of them! Keep doing your thing, Jane!

“unemployment streak”
Jane Fonda was NOT unemployed.
She stopped acting and didn’t seek nor accept any acting jobs for 15 years. Did you really think that a two-time Oscar winner could not find any acting job for fifteen years? Ugh
