She might recently have turned 85, but there’s no keeping Jane Fonda down. Last year, the Grace and Frankie star revealed she was battling a form of blood cancer called non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. But the Hollywood icon has confirmed she’s through the worst of it.
“Sometimes my energy just gave out,” shares Jane of her fight to restore herself to optimum health. “Normally I can hold a push-up for a couple of minutes. When the chemo was in me, after 30 seconds I’d collapse.”
The star, who shot to fame in the 1968 movie Barbarella, underwent her last chemotherapy treatment in mid-November.
The good news is, she’s now in remission – and just in time, with three movies to promote in the first half of this year.
“Even at the height of my career, whenever that was – I guess in the ’70s – I never had three movies in one year,” she laughs. “So, I feel pretty lucky.”
There’s a definite theme to the three films: they all celebrate female friendship.
First up, in the sports comedy 80 for Brady, Jane plays one of four female octogenarian football fans trying to get to the Super Bowl. In March, she teams up with her Grace and Frankie co-star Lily Tomlin, 83, in Moving On, in which two galpals plot against the widower of their recently deceased friend. Then, in May, she reprises her role in Book Club: The Next Chapter.
