Jane Fonda

Attended Vassar College, Poughkeepsie, NY. Her roommate was Lara Parker. Parker later co-starred with Janes brother Peter Fonda in the film Race with the Devil .

Is the subject of an erroneous urban legend. When Vassar was a womens college, the story goes, Jane Fonda refused to wear the elegant white gloves and pearls that were the attire for the daily Tea in the Rose Parlor. When confronted, Fonda returned to the parlor wearing the gloves and the pearls, and nothing else.

(October 1997) Ranked #83 in Empire magazines "The Top 100 Movie Stars of All Time" list.

2nd November 1970: Arrested at Cleveland Airport, Ohio after allegedly kicking patrolman Robert Pieper and customs agent Edward Matuszek in the groin and upper leg, during their struggle to detain her upon finding 105 bottles containing some 2,000 capsules in her luggage. The star spent ten hours in a cell at Cuyahoga County Jail and was released on $6,000 personal bond. A federal drug smuggling charge was dropped once the substances were identified as vitamins and prescribed amounts of Dexedrine, Valium & Compazine. For lack of evidence, a federal assault charge pressed by Matuszek was dropped too, since the supposed "assault" occurred when he chased Fonda into the ladies room. Pieper filed a $100,000 personal injury lawsuit against her in civil court that was eventually dismissed at his attorneys request.

Her birth was the cause of some interruptions during her fathers filming of Jezebel with Bette Davis.

Shortly after her divorce from Ted Turner , she announced she had become a born-again Christian. Speculations are that this may have played a part in their separation, since Ted Turner has expressed highly critical opinions on religion in general.

The suicide of her socialite mother Frances Ford Seymour was kept from her as a teenager, and she was told that shed died of heart failure. Household newspaper and magazine subscriptions were canceled, and the staff and student body of Fondas high school were instructed not to discuss the incident.

A heinous myth that prisoners of war were killed or tortured on Fondas account has circled around the internet since two letters purportedly written by Vietnam veterans were posted online in the late 90s. (In prcis claiming soldiers listed as missing in action slipped Ms. Fonda tiny pieces of paper with their social security numbers so to identify themselves to American authorities - only for her to hand the pile of notes to a North Vietnamese commanding officer.) The claimed authors of these letters, Col. Larry Carrigan and Air Force pilot Jerry Driscoll, have repeatedly denied both writing the letters and the incidents described therein. In truth, Fonda met with a single group of seven POWs while in North Vietnam, and none of them corroborate this libelous fallacy. Fonda brought mail for imprisoned U.S. servicemen with her to Hanoi, and she returned to the United States carrying 241 letters from American POWs back to their families. She even called the wives of some of the men she met with to provide them with updates about their husbands.

At the 2014 National Sex Ed Conference, Fonda claimed to have been one of the first women in the United States ("if not the first" in her words) to have a spiral-shaped plastic IUD inserted.

Though writers have called her a lapsed Episcopalian in the past, Jane now concedes that she was actually raised an atheist.

"Some will say that because of all this I am not a true Christian. So be it. I feel like a Christian, I believe in the teachings of Jesus and try to practice them in my life. I have found Christians all over this country who feel as I do. They may not have been saved yet they hum with divine spirit," she blogged in 09.

While not impossible, it is especially challenging for teenage parents to develop bonds with their children. A high percent of them were themselves children of teenage parents and have never experienced appropriate parenting.

Children born to teens have less supportive and stimulating environments, poorer health, lower cognitive development, and worse educational outcomes. Children of teen mothers are at increased risk of being in foster care and becoming teen parents themselves, thereby repeating the cycle.

If we as a nation are to break the cycle of poverty, crime and the growing underclass of young people ill equipped to be productive citizens, we need to not only implement effective programs to prevent teen pregnancy, but we must also help those who have already given birth so that they become effective, nurturing, bonding parents.

The reality is sobering: in the United States one in three girls will become pregnant before age 20, totaling more than 750,000 girls per year.
