Jane Fonda Biography Flash a weekly Biography.

Jane Fonda made headlines this past week with a powerful display of style and activism at the Women in Film Honors Gala in Los Angeles on November 6 according to Hello Magazine. At 87, Jane owned the red carpet in a striking fire red pantsuit, pointed black heels, and a bold black tee emblazoned with the single word "resist," making it clear she remains a force both on and off screen. The gala wasn't just a fashion moment but a meeting of Hollywood generations, as Jane took the stage to present her namesake Jane Fonda Humanitarian Award to Jamie Lee Curtis, as reported by TMZ. The evening celebrated women in the entertainment industry leaving their mark through art and advocacy and also raised significant funds for WIF’s career and education programs.

Us Weekly covered the heartfelt moment onstage when Jane praised Jamie Lee Curtis for using her voice and resources to make an impact, even recounting Jamie’s recent million-dollar donation to the fire department. Jamie, for her part, highlighted Jane’s enduring example as an activist, artist, and what she called a “disruptor in residence.” The two actresses, each daughters of legendary film stars, openly admired one another’s commitment to the causes closest to their hearts. Their public camaraderie and mutual recognition underscored Jane’s ongoing influence as both mentor and icon.

Alongside these public appearances, another development with long-term significance is Jane Fonda’s recent role in relaunching the Committee for the First Amendment, announced by the ACLU of Southern California and the Social Impact Entertainment Society. According to the organizations’ official press release, Jane revived this historic coalition—originally formed in 1947 by artists like her father Henry Fonda and Humphrey Bogart—to unite artists in defending free speech amid renewed pressures on creative freedom. The newly revived committee quickly amassed over 2,000 members, and Jane will be honored next month at the Impact + Profit 25 Conference with the inaugural Visionaries Award for her role in safeguarding expression and justice in Hollywood.

On her own blog, Jane has continued to chronicle her appearances and advocacy, highlighting climate justice work, the success of her PAC’s supported candidates, and her recent public honors. Her social media and website highlight her active and outspoken presence, but no unconfirmed reports or viral controversies have emerged in the last 24 hours.

In business and public speaking, tickets remain available for Jane’s headline conversation events in late 2025, including a major evening at Performing Arts Houston, where she will reflect on her five decades in film and activism. Coverage from Performing Arts Houston emphasizes Jane’s ongoing schedule of talks, cementing her status as a leading public intellectual and advocate.
