JANE FONDA | 84

Jane Fonda has achieved more in a few years than most achieve in a lifetime. She’s an actress, writer, businesswoman, activist, environmentalist, and a former fashion model. She has a long list of films and TV shows, but she is also remembered for her exercise videos. She may have inherited her extraordinary talent from her father, the late actor Henry Fonda, but she proved that a woman with grit could do it too. Like her father, she won numerous acting awards.

Jane got five nominations from the Emmys, two awards from the Academy, seven awards from the Golden Globes, and another two awards from Tony. Besides acting, she always makes herself busy by participating in different environmental groups. Fonda also had investments in co-founding the Women’s Media Center, an organization that “ensures women are powerfully and visibly represented in the media.”
