À propos de cet audio
Jane Fonda, the 88-year-old Oscar winner and firebrand activist, marked her birthday on December 21 with headlines praising her timeless glamour and unyielding spirit, as Hello Magazine gushed over her evolution from screen siren to fitness pioneer and fearless advocate. Democracy Now reports she relaunched her father Henry Fondas 1947 Committee for the First Amendment back in early October to combat what she calls a rapid authoritarian power grab echoing McCarthyism, urging Hollywood to model creative nonviolent resistance after 1.7 million Disney subscribers ditched in protest over censored late-night shows like Jimmy Kimmels. The committee exploded to over 2000 members including Barbra Streisand, Sean Penn, and Viola Davis, issuing fiery statements against government censorship in entertainment.
Fast-forward to December 4, when ACLU SoCal and the SIE Society crowned Fonda and the committee with the inaugural Impact Entertainment Visionaries Award at the Impact Plus Profit 25 Conference in Los Angeles Skirball Cultural Center, hailing her as a guardian of free speech with decades of ACLU ties and global justice fights. KUOW and NPR stations rebroadcast her fiery September SAG-AFTRA speech critique of the Trump administration on December 26, spotlighting her call to speak and shout against attacks on creatives. No major headlines in the past 24 hours, but whispers of upcoming events like her October 20 evening at Houston's Jones Hall with Performing Arts Houston promise more stories from her storied life.
Social media buzzes with fans sharing her committee clips, though no fresh posts from Fonda herself surface in recent checks. At 88, shes not slowing down, weighting her free speech revival as a biographical cornerstone amid these tense times. Thanks for listening to this Jane Fonda Audio Biography episode.
