AFI LIFE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD: A TRIBUTE TO JANE FONDA
June 14, 2014  | By David Bianculli

TNT, 9:00 p.m. ET

 

Jane Fonda, daughter of a cinematic icon, has become one herself, and this AFI tribute gives her a Life Achievement Award when her professional life is still going strong – as a regular supporting player on HBO’s The Newsroom, just to name one impressive current credit. The two-time Oscar-winner, for 1978’s Coming Home and 1971’s Klute, deserves to be remembered for many, many memorable achievements, including the deliciously sexy, and funny, Barbarella. But those of you who presume I’d pounce on this occasion as an excuse to present a steamy Jane Fonda photo from that 1968 Roger Vadim movie, shame on you. Not when I can pounce on it as an excuse to present a steamy Jane Fonda photo from another movie directed by her then-husband, Roger Vadim, the same year: Spirits of the Dead. If you’re as Fonda that bizarre cult film as I am, you’re welcome.
