Jane Fonda, who has been protesting since the Vietnam War, said this week she has has no plans to slow down now that she's 85, citing the urgency of climate change.
In her 2005 memoir, Fonda said she didn’t think about the implications of where she was sitting in the moment, then immediately after pleaded that the photos not be published.
"As I start to walk back to the car with the translator, the implication of what has just happened hits me. Oh, my God. It’s going to look like I was trying to shoot down U.S. planes!" she wrote at the time. "It is possible that the Vietnamese had it all planned. I will never know. If they did, can I really blame them? The buck stops here. If I was used, I allowed it to happen. It was my mistake, and I have paid and continue to pay a heavy price for it.
"I am proud I went to Vietnam when I did. I am so sorry that I was thoughtless enough to sit down on that gun at that time and the message that that sends to the guys who were there and their families. It’s just horrible for me to think of that," she said.
Last week, the"Monster-in-Law" star joined a group calling out President Biden’s"broken promises" on climate policies in New York City while he was there to raise money, according to AMNY.com.
