Three-Way Jane?

Along with MSNBC - Fonda recalls being forced into sex encounters, British and Internet news services are starting to buzz regarding Jane Fonda's participation in the procurement of call girls for three way sexual escapades to keep first husband Roger Vadim happy.

"One night Vadim brought another woman into my bed and I went along with it ... I'm competitive ... I was going to keep up with the Joneses," Fonda said. "It was the 60s and whatever," she said, adding that she was largely motivated by the fear of losing her French director husband if she refused to go along with his three-in-a-bed romps.

"I know one thing: It really hurt me ... and it reinforced my feeling I wasn't good enough," she said. "I felt that if I said no, that he would leave me and I couldn't imagine myself without him." One of Hollywood's hottest couples at the time, Fonda and Vadim divorced in 1973 after six years of marriage.

Fonda said the women who made up their 'menage a trois' were generally call girls that she herself would procure.

While I'm sure this will become the story of poor Jane as victim of the sexual appetites of an older, more sophisticated husband and her own emotional issues, one can at least speculate, though they won't in the MSM, that this was a high flying sixties gal with money and privilege who didn't really belief or ever learn that maybe some rules of conduct applied to her, too.

The sixties were known as a time of sexual exploration. Is this just the case of another willing participant now looking for a way to justify behavior with which she might now be uncomfortable - or was Jane really a victim. I'm sure Enquiring minds and some book buyers will want to know.

Rumors that the actress, now probably too old to re-kindle her exercise video career, plans to open a national chain of rug cleaning boutiques are completely unconfirmed. ; )

Hey, if that's what he wanted, I'd give it to him in spades," she said, adding that she used what she learned from the women for her Oscar-winning turn in Klute.

The actress said the need for honesty and integrity had spurred her into writing about such private matters in her autobiography, which will be published in the United States next month.

This woman is a witless dope with a voice good enough to hide it and, formerly, a bod that made her mind irrelevant. But she has more to regret than sitting at an AA battery in NVN. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have the likes of the jugged-eared pinhead Juliet Roberts in our faces or the low and stupid Martin Sheen doing anything higher than Hammer Films.

Fonda also travelled with Donald Sutherland on the FTA Show, encouraging gullible young soldiers to desert. They went to jail, she went back to the cheese-smearing degenerate Frog Vadim, and Sutherland went back to Eliot Gould.

Perhaps her worst crime was to expand the career of Robert Redford, who otherwise would be flogging men's cosmetics and sandals for the elderly on The Home Shopping Network.

Years ago when Redford was being mentored by Fonda, he showed up in Hartford to display solidarity with Pratt and Whitney strikers. He arrived with pressed bell bottoms, a starched, button-down denim work shirt, oxblood half-boots, a kid-leather bush jacket, mirrored aviators and that stupid shock of hair over his eyes. He sounded like a demented Maoist and looked like a queen from Westworld. A pitiful running-dog of Fondaism.

This all works together, and it, and more, was Jane Fonda's fault.
