Today is Jane Fonda's 83rd birthday which might seem absolutely impossible. This riveting actress and activist has been turning heads and making headlines since the 1960s and she is still doing it. Seriously! She still gets arrested for protesting and she is in her 80s. Fans of Fonda remember her best for her amazing nude scenes. Let's celebrate this maven of nudity with her breast work!
Jane Fonda is likely best nudely remembered for her iconic role as the intergalactic blonde bombshell Barbarella who kicks ass in space while showing her ass. The campy 60s action film is best known for its iconic opening credits sequence that showed off Jane's fit figure as she floated in space. Her fun bags float, too!
That wasn't her only nude scene. It was far from it! In the 1960s, a decade which was only just coming free from the strict censorship rules that held Hollywood under its grip for thirty years (the dreaded Hays Code), Jane went nude in a whopping five films. She showed her breasts that many times! In the 1960s! What a trailblazer.
The 1970s were no different for Jane. Fonda had us wanting to Fondle her when she went topless in the 1971 mystery Klute. In fact, her role as a prostitute in Klute awarded Jane her first Oscar for Best Actress. The movie is a bit of a forgotten classic now, but Jane's brunette shag haircut inspired many young women in the 1970s to shag their hippie hair as well. Once again, Jane was the trendsetter with the great rack to go along with her trends.
She has been nominated for seven Academy Awards and won two. Her second win was for 1979's Coming Home which she also showed her cans in. The best thing about Jane is that awards and prestige did not change her one bit. She continued to go nude and she continued to make headlines for her activism. Jane has always been unapologetically herself, with and without clothes.
Today we celebrate her 83rd birthday and admire all the ways that Jane has contributed to society. From being outspoken about saving the planet to playing a horny grandma in Grace and Frankie, Jane Fonda has never let anything stop her from being her skintastic self.
Celebrate her birthday by watching her amazing opening credit sequence in Barbarella!
