Jane Fonda Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Jane Fonda continues to make headlines as she remains one of Hollywood's most influential voices for social and political change. The legendary actress and activist is set to headline the Impact Plus Profit Conference taking place December fourth and fifth in Los Angeles, where she'll be joined by storytellers and producers from across the entertainment and education spectrum. The conference, now in its third year, focuses on the intersection of social impact education and behavior change communication.

But here's where it gets really significant for her legacy. Fonda and her recently relaunched Committee for the First Amendment have been named the inaugural recipients of the Impact Entertainment Visionaries Award by the ACLU of Southern California and the Social Impact Entertainment Society. She'll receive this honor on the evening of December fourth at the Skirball Cultural Center. The Committee, which Fonda has breathed new life into, brings together a coalition of artists committed to safeguarding creative freedom and resisting censorship. The founding membership reads like a who's who of Hollywood, including Aaron Sorkin, Anne Hathaway, Viola Davis, Sean Penn, Spike Lee, and many others. What's remarkable is that in just a few weeks since its relaunch, the Committee has already surpassed two thousand members.

This revitalized effort pays homage to the original Committee for the First Amendment, founded back in nineteen forty seven by legendary artists like Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall during the House Un-American Activities Committee hearings. By reviving this coalition today, Fonda is continuing her decades long commitment to defending civil liberties and freedom of expression, even when it requires extraordinary courage.

The award itself honors artists whose work exemplifies the power of storytelling to expand cultural freedoms, advance inclusion, spark dialogue on equity and justice, and inspire social and behavioral change. It's a perfect encapsulation of everything Fonda has stood for throughout her nearly nine decade long life and career.

So there you have it, folks. Jane Fonda remains as active and committed to her principles as ever, using her platform and visibility to defend democracy and artistic freedom at a critical moment.
