Jane Fonda: Michael's "Meltdown" Death Discussion

Jane Fonda may not be the person who automatically comes to mind when you think of Michael Jackson. But that's the thing. Jackson really did cross all boundaries.
Ms. Fonda blogged earlier today that she knew Jackson "during the time before he did The Wiz and up through Thriller."
Like so many, she admits she never fully understood the King of Pop. She recalls a time when they took a walk around her Santa Barbara area ranch...
"I pointed to a spot where I told him I wanted to be buried," Fonda writes. "Michael had a meltdown right then and there when he heard this. He shrieked and bent over and said, 'No, no, no.' "
When she asked him what was wrong, Jackson answered, "Don't ever talk about your dying. Don't ever think about it."
Fonda thinks it's a good thing that Jackson died so quickly.
"Massive heart attacks that you don't recover from are quick. You don't know what hit you," she writes. "That's probably the kindest death for Michael. It's hard to imagine him being happy as he aged."
Fonda also didn't know what to make of her friendship with Jackson.
"I couldn't pretend to understand him. There were so many complicated signals," she writes. "Did he want me to be his 'older woman' friend? He gravitated to older women. For solace? Succor? A beard? Did he want me to teach him the ropes? I never could quite figure it out."
