Jane Fonda on Lovett Or Leave It

[quote]She thought she was going to be with Jon Lovitz.

Oh god, I bet her assistant asked her if she wanted to be on "Jon Lovett's podcast" and that sounded exactly like "Jon Lovitz' podcast" to her.

Lovett was embarrassed as hell. That had to be crushing, especially about the size of the room, who would see this, etc. He could have ended it there and never put the video and podcast up, but went on. I have to hand it to him.

Awww...I'm disappointed. Fonda is a DL icon.

I thought I was going to do Sweeney Todd on Broadway.

It's all a set up. I would image they've met and crossed paths before just thru Obama and the White House. Just a thought.

I don't think so. He was a speechwriter and not really part of the Obamasphere that Fonda would have moved around in.

When I read Ronan Farrow was dating John Lovett I initially had the first moment of confusion Jane did. I was like really?

Jesus, did they rent a porn theater and pop down to the furniture equivalent of a ratty Korean wig store for this appearance? The set looks like shit!

I can't believe she's 86 years old. She comes off as someone ten or fifteen years younger. Sharp as a tack and full of energy.

In recent years, she's coming off as very performative, even in this interview. She's done a lot for climate change, but she always acts like Al Gore and others haven't been putting in the work for years before she started. There's something disingenuous in the way she centers herself as the leader in some of these movements.

And I'm sorry, but her facework is horrible. I think Dunaway looks better, and that's saying something.

r10 You're sorry?
