This brilliant American actress has more than fifty film roles, two Oscars, five Golden Globes, two BAFTA awards and one Emmy. And Jane Fonda became famous as the creator of a special aerobics complex. Despite the fact that the term itself and classes with dance music were invented by the American physiologist Kenneth Cooper, it was thanks to the actress that aerobics became popular. She was always fit and confident, and it was difficult to imagine that this brilliant woman obeyed men all her life.
Originally from childhood
Her parents, flamboyant socialite Francis Ford Seymour and one of the most popular actors of the time, Henry Fonda, gave their daughter a name with a pretense. They named the baby after the third wife of King Henry VIII, Jane Seymour, who was a distant relative of Francis. And Henry's ancestors were the founders of one of the very first colonies of the New World near modern New York. Henry Fonda himself was a welcome guest at all receptions. Hollywood stars were frequent guests in their house, and even Jackie Kennedy herself stopped by.
The girl was only 11 years old when her parents broke up, and already at 12 she lost her mother forever, Frances committed suicide. For many years, Jane herself blamed herself for the death of her mother, since during the divorce of her parents she supported her father. And she grew up thinking that a woman should obey a man and please him in everything. It seemed to her that Henry and Francis broke up only because their mother could not become an ideal wife for her father.
Father's upbringing played a role in this. It was Henry Fonda who convinced his daughter: the main thing for a woman is to please men, and therefore a beautiful appearance and a toned body are a necessity for a girl. And Jane tried her best to match. She constantly went on diets, exhausted herself with training, suffered from bulimia and strived to become ideal for each of her men.
Improving yourself
In each of her novels, Jane disappeared without a trace. A talented actress who has won many film awards, she saw her mission solely in meeting a man's ideas about an ideal girlfriend and wife. Needless to say, the actress's companions took advantage of Jane Fonda's delusions with pleasure.
With her first husband Roger Vadim, Jane became liberated and diligently maintained the illusion that she, like her husband, is a supporter of free love and a non-binding relationship. For eight years, she talked about sexual freedom, took part in events that can hardly be called anything other than orgies. And at the same time, she remained the ideal hostess and mother for Vanessa, who was born in this marriage. And then Jane just left.
With her second husband Tom Hayden, in a marriage with whom the son Troy was born, the actress became an ardent supporter of the "new left" and was seriously carried away by social activities. After 17 years, the marriage broke up, but Jane Fonda retained an active life position. By the way, for the sake of Tom, the actress even stopped acting for a while.
Jane was never alone between marriages. Already in adulthood, she admits that she was a very addicted person. She started romances and each time stepped on the same rake: she completely dissolved in the man who was next to her at that moment.
The third husband of the brilliant actress was Ted Turner, the founder of CNN. It seemed that Jane Fonda with him finally found her personal happiness, but ten years later this marriage broke up, and all Jane's attempts to match the image of an ideal wife crashed into a sobering reality. Ted simply cheated on Jane. Fonda was not going to forgive the betrayal and put her husband out the door.
It was after the third divorce that the actress confesses: in no marriage has she ever learned what it means to be truly happy. She constantly strived for some kind of mythical ideal, which she invented herself. Jane appreciated her husbands and knew how to enjoy every moment spent with each of them. But they became just life steps in her destiny.
Only after the third divorce, she realized that loneliness was not at all so scary. Men in her life appeared with enviable regularity, but she was no longer afraid to break off relations with them. Jane Fonda had an eight-year dizzying affair with music producer Richard Perry, but she speaks with special warmth about who she had an exclusively platonic relationship with.
With Robert Redford, she had a chance to portray a couple in love four times. And in life, Jane half-jokingly admits: she has been in love with Redford for many years, only now they are constantly hindered by the constant status of Robert's married man and the presence of men in Jane to cross the border of platonic relations.
Until the age of 60, she was only engaged in adjusting her life to men and, in fact, was never herself. Only for the last 23 years has the actress lived with the awareness: she is valuable in herself, without any connection with men. Jane Fonda has finally ceased to be afraid of being imperfect and now there is absolutely nothing to scare her.
After experiencing cancer, she realized that she loved life. 83-year-old Jane Fonda flirtatiously admits that after breaking up with Richard Perry in 2017, she decided to take a break from her romantic adventures, but does not exclude their appearance in the future.
At 24, Jane Fonda won the title of "Most Promising New Actress of the Year", at 34 she won an Oscar, at 48 she won the title of "Most Delightful American Woman." Many are amazed at how she manages to maintain a blooming appearance in adulthood, but do not realize that the Hollywood legend actually had to sacrifice to beauty, and what it cost her.

Not everyone will pay attention to a small rusty "piece of iron" installed horizontally at the entrance to some old building right under their feet.

In the middle of the last century, Moscow was decorated with the so-called Stalinist skyscrapers. Each of them has its own history, and each building is unique in its own way. However, these "seven sisters" have other "relatives". Similar buildings were erected in the 1950s in several cities of the USSR, and even outside the Soviet Union. Three "skyscrapers-Stalin" appeared in the capitals of the three socialist countries of Eastern Europe. They were built as a tribute to Stalin, but now the inhabitants of European capitals are trying to do this

See the world through the eyes of a child. What We See vs. What Kids See by Jeff Wysaski
Children can be envied by looking at how carefree they frolic in the room or on the street, playing football with a crumpled newspaper, or setting up an ambush behind a pile of cushions. Children can be scolded when, in the heat of battle with an imaginary enemy, they break a table lamp, turn over a vase of flowers, or tear off the cornice in the living room. But children can also be understood if you know with what eyes they look at our, adult world, and at those objects that we use every day in everyday life. Eager to try on
