I knew she had a series of work out videos
I knew she was married to Ted Turner
That sums up what I new about Jane Fonda until I watched her Master Class last year. After listening to her life experiences and pearls of wisdom I learned about her as an individual; as a person that has made mistakes and has regrets and as a person striving to live her life authentically and peacefully. I learned that she is a woman of conviction, wisdom, passion and pure kindness.
Fast forward a year and a half later and who do I run into at the Loews Hotel in Atlanta….Jane Fonda!
She was sipping a Tito Martini while she waited for her escort to a fundraiser she was attending to arrive. <Side Note: I wasn’t familiar with Tito Vodka so I looked it up. It’s a handmade and distilled in Austin, TX>
Anyway, my friend Jaems and I had a brief conversation with her than we asked if we could take pictures with her and she obliged. After we took the picture she said “let me see.” A very REAL response.
So my Carpe Diem moment for Thursday, September 12, 2013 was a chance conversation with Living Legend Jane Fonda.

Wow, so cool! I have always admired Jane Fonda. I loved her movie “On Golden Pond” with her father Henry! Lucky you!
How fun! She’s a very interesting person, I read a bit about her last year . And that Tito Vodka, that’s good stuff! I buy it regularly.
I’m here from the Commentathon – not sure if this was the post I was supposed to read or not 🙂 Anyhow I have to tell you that I love your profile picture 🙂 It’s also nice that you got to meet someone who is not only famous – but authentic. I’ve met a few famous people and it’s always disappointing when they have big egos and aren’t very nice people!
Wow! She looks amazing! I can never take a good picture. What luck to just happen to run into her there!
I love your carpe diem series. What a great idea! Thanks for sharing. Hopefully it’s something I can do in my lifetime.
Oh my word! That is so exciting to meet Jane Fonda in person. I’m a little jealous! 😉 Talk about a Carpe Diem moment that you’ll remember forever!
A friend of mine lives in NY. As she walked down the street, she heard someone whistling very well. When the whistler was close, she complemented him. When he looked up, Kelsey Grammer thanked her and smiled.
Glad to hear about the bright spot in your day. Carpe Diem!
That’s a GREAT NYC story!
Amazing! This is such a great Carpe Diem moment. I love that she was gracious enough to take a picture with you and that it turned out so great. 🙂
That’s pretty much what I knew of her too. She looks awesome for her age. I love hearing the human side to people we often put on pedestals.
I honestly don’t know much about Jane. Except that bit about her work out videos. 🙂 How exciting for you to have learned about her through her Master Class and then to bump into her and get a chance to talk with her. And how sweet that she allowed a photo too!
Wow…she looks fabulous! I always thought that Jane Fonda was hilarious in the movie Monster In Law (with Jennifer Lopez)…is that the name of the movie?
Yep, that’s the name of it. 😉 CARPE DIEM
