À propos de cet audio
Recently, Jane Fonda has been at the forefront of news with her efforts to revive the Committee for the First Amendment, a group originally founded in 1947 by her father, Henry Fonda, along with other Hollywood icons. This relaunch, announced on October 1, aims to defend free speech in response to what Fonda and other members perceive as government censorship and intimidation. The committee has garnered significant support from over 500 celebrities, including Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Pedro Pascal, and Billie Eilish, as reported by Civil Beat.
Fonda's actions have caught the attention of the White House, with a spokesperson referring to her as "Hanoi Jane" while affirming her rights to free speech. The White House also claims President Trump supports free speech, despite criticisms from Fonda and others. According to The Blast, Fonda views this period as the most frightening moment of her life, drawing parallels between current government actions and those of the McCarthy era.
In addition to her advocacy work, Fonda is set to appear in an event titled "An Evening with Jane Fonda" on October 20 at Jones Hall in Houston. This event is designed to inspire through stories and discussions about her activism and career, as noted by Performing Arts Houston.
In recent performing arts news, Fonda will star in "Dear Everything: A Musical Uprising for the Earth" at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in 2026, as reported by Playbill.
