Jane Fonda is no stranger to run-ins with the law. She's been an activist her entire life and has always stood up against political inaction.
Recently, the star's zealotry landed her in an 8x8 holding cell - overnight. Here is her incredible story.
In a recent interview with Elle, the star describes feeling "very depressed" that she "wasn’t doing enough about the climate crisis."
So Jane got to work.
That meant no more single-use plastics for Jane.
Which is an excellent first step to make our planet healthier!
Jane did the world (and Elon Musk) a favor when she adopted clean energy.
Which, hey, I'm sure if we all had the money to do so, we would.
This would be nearly impossible for me (and probably a lot of other meat lovers) to achieve - good for you Jane!
She knew that more work was needed, but she was unsure on how to proceed.
“When you’re famous, you have this incredible potential platform, but how do you use it?” she said.
Since the time of the Vietnam War, Jane has been a political activist.
Her 1970 mugshot remains a powerful image of feminist rights and freedoms, even to this day.
Inspired by the words of Greta Thunberg, Fonda was spurred into action.
She began holding protest rallies on the White House lawn, which got her into some trouble.
Fonda was arrested on four separate occasions.
After her most recent run-in with the law, police decided to make an example out of her.
The 82-year-old actress wasn't given so much as a blanket or a pillow to sleep on.
She had to use her own coat to put over her bunk, and listened to inmates "sobbing, screaming, and rattling the bars of their cells."
"I’m white and I’m famous and I think orders came down from the attorney general to handle me with kid gloves." she said.
Handcuffs will not keep her down, that's for sure!
"Even though you’re being handcuffed and put in a situation where you have absolutely no control, it’s like stepping in to yourself."
"And it’s incredible."
Fonda announced that she'll be hosting her marches virtually starting April 3.
And yes, you can be part of it.
