LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Hollywood legend Jane Fonda experienced a distressing public collapse recently, leaving concerned friends apprehensive that the closing chapters might be nearing for the 85-year-old icon.
The unsettling incident occurred as Fonda, an Oscar-winning star, was addressing striking Screen Actors Guild (SAG) members in Hollywood last month. Cameras captured the alarming moment when her legs gave way.
Is Jane Fonda ok?
Close confidants of the ageless legend, known for movies like 'Coming Home', expressed concerns that Fonda's unwavering commitment to living life on her own terms might jeopardize her well-being. While she maintains an active and flourishing career, Fonda's history of health challenges remains a poignant reality.
Having battled non-Hodgkin lymphoma, Fonda revealed in December that her condition had entered remission, allowing her to halt chemotherapy treatments. However, the actress has faced a series of health setbacks in the past.
In 2010, the 'Barbarella' icon underwent surgery to remove cancerous tumors from her breast, followed by lip surgery in 2018. Subsequently, she underwent a mastectomy in 2016 and braved multiple hip and knee replacements. Fonda has also grappled with the effects of osteoporosis.
Reflecting on the challenges she has overcome, Fonda shared her struggle with the five rounds of chemotherapy she endured in 2022 to combat lymphoma. The arduous treatment sessions left her fatigued, making it challenging to accomplish daily tasks.
Fonda's recent collapse took place amid her involvement in the SAG strike. Advocating for change, she was actively participating in picket lines outside Netflix's LA studios when she suddenly succumbed to the relentless 92-degree heat. The incident prompted her to be escorted offstage, where she sought reprieve in a chair, appearing visibly drained.
Friends and insiders express their well-meaning advice for Fonda to prioritize rest and ease, considering the taxing toll her body has endured. "We tell Jane she needs to take it easy and rest after all her body has been through," the insider shared, as per Radar Online.
"But that isn't Jane's style. She knows she doesn't have much time left, so she's pushing harder than ever and working to make the most of her final moments." In acknowledgment of her own mortality, Fonda has openly stated, "I'm super-conscious I'm closer to death — and it doesn't really bother me that much."
Why did Jane Fonda quit acting?
In a well-known turn of events, Fonda made a significant departure from her notable acting career when she married billionaire Ted Turner in 1991, leaving fans astonished. Now, at the age of 85, the star has revealed that her motivation for this decision was her genuine belief that her partnership with the CNN founder would endure "forever."
Is Jane Fonda a billionaire?
Fonda's net worth is estimated to be $200 million, as per Celebrity Net Worth. The source attributes her wealth to both her family background and her extensive career. Born to renowned actor Henry Fonda and socialite Frances Seymour Brokaw, Fonda carries a notable lineage.
