Jane Fonda: The Actress the United States Senate Called a Traitor

Dela

Jane Fonda won two Academy Awards, built a fitness empire, and became one of the most successful actresses in Hollywood history. She also sat on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun, was photographed laughing with enemy soldiers, and earned the nickname "Hanoi Jane" — a label that followed her for fifty years and made her one of the most hated women in America among veterans and conservatives who never forgave her.

This episode traces Fonda from her Hollywood dynasty childhood through the acting career, the antiwar radicalism, the Hanoi photograph that defined her public image, and the decades of reinvention that followed.
