THE ACTOR’S ARCHIVE: JANE FONDA

From her early star turn in Barbarella to the political urgency of Cominghome and the sharp comic precision of 9 to 5, Fonda has spent six decades redefining what screen performance can be. Her work moves effort between glamor and grit, often capturing the anxieties and aspirations of the eras she helped shape—not least as a vocal feminist icon whose activism has become inseparable from her artistic legacy. Whether embodying quiet emotional turmoil or leading full-throated cinematic revolutions, she remains one of the most commanding presences in modern film history. This program traces that extraordinary range, inviting audiences to rediscover an icon whose influence continues to resonate across generations.
