Few public figures have reinvented themselves as completely and as often as this iconic actress. The daughter of Hollywood royalty Henry Fonda, she first rose to fame as a movie star in the 1960s, earning an Oscar for the thriller *Klute* and becoming an unforgettable sci-fi sex symbol in *Barbarella*. Her career has spanned decades, with acclaimed performances in films like *Coming Home*, *9 to 5*, and *On Golden Pond*.
Her life off-screen has been just as dramatic. She became a polarizing political activist, famously nicknamed "Hanoi Jane" for her fervent opposition to the Vietnam War. Then, in the 1980s, she transformed herself again, becoming a global fitness guru. Her revolutionary home workout videos, complete with leotards and leg warmers, sold millions and launched an entire industry. In a later chapter, during her marriage to media mogul Ted Turner, she embraced life as a born-again Christian, adding yet another distinct phase to her remarkable public journey.
