Jane Fonda, an American actress, activist, and former model, was born on December 21, 1937. As a well-known actor, Fonda has won numerous honors, including the Cecil B. DeMille Award, the Golden Lion Honorary Award, the Honorary Palme d’Or, the AFI Life Achievement Award, two Academy Awards, two British Academy Film Awards, seven Golden Globe Awards, and a Primetime Emmy.

The groundwork for Fonda’s cinematic career in the 1960s was built by her stage work in the late 1950s. Beginning in 1960 with Tall Tale, in which she reenacted one of her Broadway performances as a college cheerleader seeking Anthony Perkins’ character, a basketball player, she made practically two movies a year on average throughout the decade.
