Hollywood icon Jane Fonda touched down in Sydney on Friday, ready for her upcoming one-night engagement, “In Conversation with Jane Fonda.” The 87-year-old actress was seen being wheeled through the airport terminal. Despite using a wheelchair for mobility, Fonda appeared stylish and energetic in a navy coat, scarf, and comfortable sneakers.
Fonda expressed her excitement about returning to Australia, a country she says has “always embraced me.” She’s looking forward to connecting with fans and sharing insights from her long and influential career during her Sunday appearance at the ICC Sydney Theatre, where she’ll be interviewed by Liz Hayes.
The actress and activist shared her positive perspective on aging, describing it as “a gift” and a time to “embrace life fully.” She also noted a greater sense of well-being now than in her younger years, defying common stereotypes about aging.
Fonda is determined to continue her work and is selective about the roles she accepts, turning down parts she feels don’t reflect her decades of experience in the industry. She emphasized the importance of cultivating happiness and a “robust sense of well-being.”
