    "I am not scared of dying. What I am really scared of is getting to the end of life with a lot of regrets when there's no time to do anything about it".

    The older you get, the more vulnerable you become. All of the hardness that builds up in adulthood through to late middle age starts to fade away, back to the pure hearts we had in childhood. That’s what I thought watching Jane tear up seeing her father onscreen.

      NOTHING to do with age, that's eternal. My parents died young, I think of them every day, not to grieve but as inspiration. Jane has loved her Dad always, no matter how difficult he made it, he's also part of her trauma over her mother's suicide, some things we don't get over, but she is literally a survivor, you have to be to reach old age.

My father told me a few years later he wasn't ready to see his baby boy leave home. He's been gone a while now and when my youngest left home recently, I felt connected to my father again and what it was like for him all those years ago

    What a very touching interview. She was so open. The interviewer was sensitive and let her speak. I don't know if I have ever seen Jane Fonda so vulnerable and open. My 90 year old father of Mexican descent has always been the emotional one in my family. My 89 year old mother of German and British descent has always been cold, dismissive, harsh and seems to not have the capacity for personal intimacy, human warmth, etc. I think she endured such harsh poverty and emotional deprivation that it's a wonder she was so materially successful in her life. Yet it was a hell world living with a cold mother and has an impact to her children and grandchildren.
    Jane Fonda's mother died when she was 12. She was probably raised by nannies? She continues to be an amazing and admirable woman.

    I found that when you have situations like this with your father or mother and you feel distant, the only way you can go is back and I mean back to their childhood. I had two loving parents but they brought damaged into their marriage from their childhood. Actually unresolved damage. My mother was raped by her father and my dad had a deadbeat dad and a stepfather that beat him so bad and so much that he wound up being raised by his grandfather. There are things in our childhood that if we don't come to terms with them we can bring them into our children

      My brother, on the other hand, although successful and married to the same, wonderful woman, interestingly made the exact same parenting mistakes with their children as my parents did, and are still reaping what they sowed some 30 years later, which has resulted in much acrimony in their family. He and his wife are close, but their boys struggle with life.

    To Mark Rea who commented that Jane has made countless, heartfelt apologies for her 'lack of judgment' fifty years ago:
    Mr. Rea, her heartfelt contrition consists of "I really regret that picture." Not the fact that she gave aid and comfort to an enemy killing American boys, but that she posed with them and that the picture was seen the world over and is remembered. When will she apologize to the mothers who lost sons, the women who lost husbands, and the children who lost fathers, and to the living veterans themselves? She has never said anything close to "I'm sorry I sided with the enemy when you were fighting for my country -- a country that has given me everything."

    I was married twice and had numerous bad relationships. My Mother was the one who told me I didn't need a Man. She died a few months after telling me that. I had lived in California eighteen years but finally moved back home. She only lived fifteen months while I was home.
    I had told her I was sorry about some stuff the night before she died. She let me know that it was ok with all of it and she forgave me. I had no regrets about anything and she died peacefully. This is why I am not afraid to die.
    Jane's father was a great actor and of course she is also. I think he gave her a gift when he cried and was able to show emotion before he died.
