From Oscar to Public Enemy in 3 Months | Jane Fonda,1972

In April 1972, Jane Fonda won the Academy Award for Best Actress. In July she sat down on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun outside Hanoi, laughing, in a helmet, and somebody took a photograph. For the next fifty years it followed her everywhere she went. She was Henry Fonda's daughter, Hollywood's girl next door, then Barbarella. Then, almost overnight, she became the most famous face of the movement against the Vietnam War: the raised fist in a Cleveland booking photo, the FTA show, a Nixon enemies list, and an FBI file that ran to hundreds of pages, including a letter the Bureau later admitted it had forged. After Hanoi came the Radio Hanoi broadcasts, calls for a treason trial that could never succeed, and a name that stuck: Hanoi Jane. This is what the record shows, and what it doesn't.
