Jane Fonda: Coming Home
Happy New Year, Richies! Given that we resolve to start living our best lives this time of year, we thought we’d focus on a star who’s always done that.

But it’s her lifelong work as an activist that’s set her apart from Hollywood’s other A-listers...even though she’s taken a lot of heat - and spent some time in the slammer - for it.
