This book reflects Jane Fonda's admirable honesty. She has had (and I believe still has) a mesmerizing life. She made some errors, recognized them, and always been willing to grow and modify with the times and because of her own experiences. I discovered something that I did not know when I bought the book-to love and admire this woman more. I read it in one night, and I could not put it down! The most important thing about this book is that you will read a portion and then put it down and start looking at yourself. If you have any interest in overcoming problems, (as I did, and anyone should) this is important read. It is about beautiful Jane, and so much more... stars
A warm, funny and often inspirational look back on Fonda's varied and accomplished career so far. She recalls a sometimes difficult upbringing and early career ups and downs to her film breakthrough in Barefoot in the Park. Fonda looks candidly at her marriage to Roger Vadim, sex symbol status and moments as Hanoi Jane. The star of such films as the China Syndrome, 9 to 5 and Agnes of God also serves up poignant memories of her father, film legend Henry Fonda. Jane's exuberance for life is underlined by human rights crusades and a desire to make a difference. Such contrasts set this book apart from the typical Hollywood fare.
This book was bought because I see Jane Fonda as a long term fixture in the entertainment industry, and on topics that are too hot for most to talk about. This book shows that while she is still hiding a lot of secrets that are too personal, she opens up in many life changing ways and shares some great photographs with the public. She has done a fine job in this book, and acknowledges the part she played in her life's decisions, and why.
I purchased this book because I saw Jane Fonda on a talk show and I related to some of her family issues. I have always been fond of her. I am still reading the book, however so far, I am very glad I purchased it and would highly reconmmend it to anyone interested. I actually found hearing her say her feelings was very theraputic for me, since I could definitely relate and was glad I was not alone in the way I have always felt about my own mother. Great read!

I could not put this book down! Jane Fonda did an amazing job describing her life. I could relate to some of it. I admire her courage and ability to reinvent herself. I highly recommend this book!
Needed a hardbound copy to get an autograph for a silent auction at a fund raiser. The hardbound copy is out of print and a paperback copy is not the same. Book rate postage took a little longer than I would have liked, but the book arrived in plenty of time.
