Jane Fonda says she procured prostitutes for sex romps with husband
Thu Mar 31,12:44 PM ET
NEW YORK (AFP) - Jane Fonda, who won an Oscar for her portrayal of a
prostitute in the 1971 film "Klute," solicited call girls for three-way sex
with her husband Roger Vadim, the actress revealed in a television
interview.
Speaking about her upcoming autobiography "Jane Fonda: My Life So Far,"
Fonda also described her visit to a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun site
during the Vietnam War as one of the biggest mistakes of her life.
In the interview to be broadcast Sunday on the CBS network, the actress said
she indulged Vadim's sexual proclivities, despite the personal pain it
involved.
"One night Vadim brought another woman into my bed and I went along with it
... I'm competitive ... I was going to keep up with the Joneses," Fonda
said.
"It was the 60s and whatever," she said, adding that she was largely
motivated by the fear of losing her French director husband if she refused
to go along with his three-in-a-bed romps.
"I know one thing: It really hurt me ... and it reinforced my feeling I
wasn't good enough," she said. "I felt that if I said no, that he would
leave me and I couldn't imagine myself without him."
One of Hollywood's hottest couples at the the time, Fonda and Vadim divorced
in 1973 after six years of marriage.
Fonda said the women who made up their 'menage a trois' were generally call
girls that she herself would procure.
"Hey, if that's what he wanted, I'd give it to him in spades," she said,
adding that she used what she learned from the women for her Oscar-winning
turn in "Klute."
The actress said the need for honesty and integrity had spurred her into
writing about such private matters in her autobiography, which will be
published in the United States next month.
"I knew that if I didn't really fess up about how far I went in the betrayal
of my heart, that it would not make the journey that I've been on ... as
important and as poignant," she said.
Addressing her notorious visit to North Vietnam in 1972 -- which earned her
the epithet "Hanoi Jane" -- Fonda insisted she had no regrets, apart from
one moment when she posed with an anti-aircraft battery used to shoot down
US pilots.
"The image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda's daughter ... sitting on
an enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal ... the largest lapse of judgment that
I can even imagine," Fonda said.
She made no excuses, however, for the broadcasts she made at her own request
on Radio Hanoi, criticising the US bombing of North Vietnam.
"Our government was lying to us and men were dying because of it, and I felt
I had to do anything that I could to expose the lies and help end the war,"
she said.
Fonda's autobiography will be published in the United States next month.
