While promoting her latest film, “80 for Brady,” Jane Fonda reflects on marriage to her third husband, Ted Turner.
She revealed that retiring from the entertainment industry was influenced by a happy-ever-after thought with Ted Turner.
The award-winning actress shared the same knack for acting kike her famous father, Henry Fonda. She began her career in the 1950s, appearing in Broadway productions before becoming an onscreen star.
Over the years, Jane Fonda’s acting career improved, and she gained recognition, amassing significant roles, a worldwide fan base, and receiving numerous accolades. Despite the fame, in 1991, the actress opted for the back burner, retiring from her career to face family life with her billionaire husband.
Interestingly, this was not the first time she became a wife. In fact, Jane Fonda’s marriage had failed two times in the past, first to French film director Roger Vadim and her second ex-husband, activist Tom Hayden.
Still, somehow, her romance with business mogul and CNN founder Ted Burner felt like bliss, and she sacrificed her career for the hope of a fairytale affair.
