Jane Fonda（ISBN=） 英文原版

Bosworth goes behind the image of an American superwoman,
revealing Fonda—more powerful and vulnerable than ever
expected—

Whose struggles for high achievement, love, and successful
motherhood mirror the conflicts of a generation of women.

As actress, activist, businesswoman, wife, and mother, Jane Fonda
has pushed herself to the limit, attempting to please all, excel in
every arena, be everything.We’ve read her version of her
controversial life, yet nothing can prepare us for this genuinely
revelatory account of Jane’s engrossing, sometimes shocking
journey.

Supplemented by the psychiatric records of her suicidal, bipolar
mother, Fonda’s FBI file, and interviews with her intimates, this
perceptive portrait strips away hype and the subject’s own
mythmaking. Patricia Bosworth shows us what a toll Jane’s quest to
excel (and please her demanding father, Henry) exacted and sheds
light on truths she’s glossed over: her rejection of her mother
before her suicide; the death threats and self-doubts of her
antiwar crusade; her second husband Tom Hayden’s habit of putting
her down while spending her fortune; the emotional downfall that
led her to stop acting

And marry Ted Turner.

Lee Strasberg once said that Jane had “panic in her eyes,” and it
is this wounded but so familiar woman—human yet still heroic, the
embodiment

–of a generation’s conflicts and triumphs–whom Bosworth
captures so utterly and definitively.

PATRICIA BOSWORTH, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair,
wrote her first piece about Jane Fonda for
McCall‘s in 1968. Since then, Bosworth has
written acclaimed biographies of Montgomery Clift, Diane Arbus, and
Marlon Brando. For Becoming Jane Fonda, she interviewed
three of Fonda’s stepmothers, two of her ex-husbands (the late
Roger Vadim and Ted Turner), her daughter, intimate pals, and
directors and costars. She lives in New York City.
