Jane Fonda Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Jane Fonda remains as formidable and relevant as ever at 87 with a packed calendar and a public gaze that never seems to stray. Most significantly, Jane has recently revealed her deeply considered burial plans, sharing with the Mirror and The Express that she wants to be laid to rest in a simple sheet in a drought-resistant cemetery plot next to her second husband Tom Hayden in Santa Monica. She’s firmly ruled out cremation over environmental concerns, underscoring her lifelong eco-activism. Jane acknowledges that thinking about her own mortality gives her life meaning—a perspective she’s shared in recent interviews with XMNPR and NPR, describing her goal of exiting life without regrets, surrounded by her loved ones, and imparting wisdom even in her last moments. She continues to seek therapy to ensure peace with her children and the family she holds dear, making headlines for the frankness of these admissions, which resonate with so many fans grappling with their own family legacies.

On the activism front, Jane has made waves across national media after delivering a fiery critique of the Trump administration during her SAG-AFTRA Lifetime Achievement Award acceptance speech earlier this year. According to both NPR’s Fresh Air and WGBH, Jane called on Americans to outwardly stand against what she sees as a slide toward authoritarianism, urging “we have to speak, we have to shout.” Her decades-long reputation as both a Hollywood icon and a controversial activist is still sharply in focus. Media outlets, including WEKU and VPM, have revisited not just her latest activism but also her vulnerabilities—including her long battle with bulimia and her difficult relationship with her father, actor Henry Fonda, and her mother’s tragic death. These heartfelt interviews and public reflections are cementing her role as a truth-teller in American cultural life, offering candid lessons about generational healing and self-acceptance well into her late eighties.

Business-wise, Jane will soon be the centerpiece guest at The Kate’s Annual Gala on September 14, which has already sold out, according to The Kate’s own event listing. This event is a major public appearance for Jane and a testament to her enduring appeal and tireless advocacy. In the sustainability space, Fashion Network highlights that Jane will honor designer Stella McCartney at the upcoming NAT Gala in New York, keeping her at the center of global eco-celebrity circles while remaining focused on causes that matter most to her.

Social media has seen trending mentions about her recent public appearances, her burial plans, and her continued refusal to date, as referenced in entertainment roundups from outlets like IMDb and social buzz on her personal website. However, there are no verified rumors or outlandish gossip, just the warm acknowledgment that Jane Fonda’s influence as an actor, activist, and family matriarch grows only more profound as she embraces her twilight years.
