I am a huge fan of Jane Fonda, having just seen 'They Shoot Horses Don't They' on DVD. Jane's acting in that movie is superb. She had stunning good looks and her exercise books were impressive too. The sonnet is the ideal form in which to write about her, and you cover all the main features. She did know 'contempt, defeat, and strife over Vietnam war protests, but she was fearless.
