ABOUT THE AUTHOR

J
ANE
F
ONDA
was born in New York City in 1937. She attended the Emma Willard School in Troy, New York, and Vassar College. Fonda later studied with renowned acting coach Lee Strasberg and became a member of the Actors Studio in New York. Her subsequent work on stage and screen earned numerous honors, including two Best Actress Academy Awards
—Klute
(1971) and
Coming Home
(1978)—and an Emmy Award for her performance in
The Dollmaker.
Fonda was also a successful producer, whose credits include
The China Syndrome
(executive producer),
9 to 5, On Golden Pond,
and
The Morning After.

Fonda revolutionized the fitness industry with the release of
Jane Fonda’s Workout
in 1982, which remains the top grossing home video of all time. She then produced twenty-three home exercise videos, thirteen audio recordings, and five best-selling books—altogether selling sixteen million copies.

She now focuses her time and energy on activism and philanthropy, in such areas as adolescent reproductive health, pregnancy prevention, and building resiliency in girls and boys by addressing destructive gender stereotypes. In 1995 she founded the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (G-CAPP), which she chairs, and opened the Jane Fonda Center at the Emory School of Medicine. She lives in Atlanta.
