I know it's a custom in Hollyweird for offspring to follow their parent[s] into the movie business and in some instances, the children succeed. Michael Douglas is a fairly good example and there have been others. Thirty or forty years ago Jane made some pretty good movies but then she got caught up in politics and her movie career went to hell.
What's hard to understand is that Henry Fonda, who was a wonderful actor in my estimation, and who as far as I know never exhibited any indications of either left or right political preferences, had two such politicized kids. Usually, kid's political ideologies are a reflection of their parent's values but in the case of the Fondas, I see no indication of that.

Living in Britain i don't know too much about Jane Fonda except 'Cat Ballou' which i enjoyed, and her brother Peter's movie 'Easy Rider' which i didn't like. However i am a great admirer of their dad, Henry.
One thing i do know, is that i am very proud that my country the U.K. has a special relationship with my other favourite country the U.S. long may it continue. Being a kid in the 50's i was bought up on American rock'n'roll and a lot of the great t.v. series such as 'Gunsmoke', 'Cheyenne', Wagon Train', Rawhide', '77Sunset Strip' and dozens more. I love the States, and am pleased to say that i shall be back over this June, visiting Tennessee for Gracelands, the Smoky Mountains and some cival war sites.

Hey Chris,
I think I shall petition my Congressional representatives to grant you and all our other Duke fans across the water honorary citizenship, such as was granted to my favorite PM.
Believe me when I say that I also value the close relationship this country has with the UK and any other countries that choose to display their friendship for America. In these trying times, it means more than you'll ever know. -

The owner answered, "Yes, I do. Do you
know who I am? I am the owner of this restaurant and
I am a Vietnam Veteran. Not only will you not get a
table ahead of my friends and neighbors who have
been waiting here, but you also will not be eating
in my restaurant tonight or any night. Good bye."
Only in America - what a great country.
To all who received this e-mail, this is a
true story and the name of the steak house is:
Sir Scott's Oasis Steakhouse,
204 W. Main
Manhattan , MT 59741
(406)284-6929
If you ever get there, give this fellow a
sharp salute, buy a steak, and tip the waitress
Keep passing this on. We should never forget our
national traitor!
You're right, Todd, I do love it. And if I ever get up that way, you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be patronizing that steakhouse. -
Jerks like Fonda, Kerry, all those anti-war protestors and their ilk just infuriate the hell out of me. I don't necessarily agree with all aspects of Bush's war either but the crap that the lefties pull does nothing but lower the morale of our troops and any time that happens, they suffer because lowered morale results in more casualties.
We used to have both a saying and a policy that partisanship stops at the water's edge (meaning when we're at war, every loyal American supports the CinC) but beginning in the sixties, that practice went to hell.
What these clowns don't seem to understand is that if the Islamofascists win, they lose because the Islamofascists will kill them just as quick as any other American. Hell, I might even convert to Islam if the ayatollahs would let me chop off Jane and Kerry's heads.
