Jane Fonda Getting Hip
All that aerobicizing has taken its toll on Jane Fonda.
The actress/fitness icon plans to have a hip-replacement operation once she's done doing the publicity rounds for her upcoming autobiography and the comedy Monster-in-Law, publicist Pat Kingsley confirmed.
No specific date has been set, but the 67-year-old Fonda will likely go under the knife in May or June.
Kingsley also revealed that the two-time Oscar winner underwent outpatient arthroscopic surgery on her left knee last Thursday. Fonda will be recovering at home for the next few weeks before making the PR rounds.
Her first film in 15 years, Monster-in-Law costars Jennifer Lopez and Michael Vartan. Fonda plays a ruthless mother out to prevent J.Lo's character from marrying her son. The film unspools May 6, just in time for Mother's Day.
Fonda, who won Academy Awards for 1971's Klute and 1978's Coming Home, last appeared on screen in 1990 opposite Robert De Niro in Stanley & Iris.
The following year she tied the knot with billionaire mogul Ted Turner and announced her retirement from acting. After 10 years of doing the Tomahawk Chop at Braves games, the couple divorced in 2001. It was the third marriage for both. (Fonda had previously been married to the late French film director Roger Vadim and activist/politician Tom Hayden.)
Beside making a comeback on the big screen, Fonda is getting ready to hype My Life So Far, a 600-page memoir hitting book shelves next month from Random House. The tome chronicles her life growing up as the daughter of Hollywood legend Henry Fonda, her stellar movie career, her 1960s political activism (which earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane") and her success in spurring the fitness craze of the 1980s.
The workouts, however, have been less frequent due to the recurring hip and knee pain and her devotion to finishing the book.
