Jane Fonda’s Alluring Charm: Donald Sutherland’s Praise for Her Beauty

Two legendary actors, Jane Fonda, aged 82, and Donald Sutherland, aged 85, crossed paths for the first time at a Black Panther benefit in L.A. Their romance blossomed when they were cast together in the crime thriller Klute around 1970.

Describing the inception of their love story almost fifty years later, Sutherland shared with Rolling Stone how Fonda's suggestive invitation led him to her home.

This incident occurred while Sutherland was still married to his second wife, Shirley Douglas, although the exact timeline remains unclear.

The son of Sutherland and Douglas, actor Kiefer Sutherland, reflected on his parents' divorce and his father's relationship with Fonda in a 2006 interview.

He expressed understanding towards his father's feelings, emphasizing that falling in love can lead people to believe fervently in their emotions.

Their bond went beyond being mere partners; both Fonda and Sutherland actively participated in the anti-war movement, engaging in activities like the F.T.A.

theater troupe, which aimed to entertain U.S. soldiers who opposed the Vietnam War.

Their joint efforts sought to provide an antiwar alternative to the traditional pro-war entertainment offered by Bob Hope.

Sutherland reminisced about their passionate connection, emphasizing intimate moments shared with Fonda over the years.

He vividly recalled instances where he was captivated by her allure, such as an encounter at the Chelsea Hotel where he was spellbound by the sight of her exquisite bre-sts, leaving him breathless.

Despite Sutherland's candid revelations, Fonda reciprocated the admiration but in a more professional manner.

She praised his gentlemanly demeanor and his appealing features, highlighting his unique qualities that attracted her.

Their love story met an unfortunate end in Tokyo, where their relationship crumbled, leading to heartbreak for Sutherland.

The duo, along with the F.T.A.

troupe, faced a ban upon arrival in Tokyo in December 1971, marking the abrupt conclusion of their once-thriving romance.

Following their split, Fonda moved on to marry social activist Tom Hayden in 1973, while Sutherland found love again with actress Francine Racette in 1972.

Fonda, now retired from dating, continues her acting career with the Netflix series Grace and Frankie, set to film its final season in 2021.

On the other hand, Sutherland is currently starring in HBO's The Undoing alongside acclaimed actors Nicole Kidman and Hugh Grant.
