When Jane Fonda received the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Screen Actors Guild, she wasn’t ready to call it a career wrap. Standing on stage at the event on February 23, she joked that this moment felt "less like a late twilight of my life and more like a ‘Go girl, kick ass.’" At 87, the legendary actress, known for her role in Grace and Frankie, described herself as a "late bloomer," proving that age is just a number.
Jane, the daughter of the iconic Henry Fonda, made her Hollywood debut in 1960. Over the years, she’s delivered countless unforgettable performances and earned two Oscars, but her career path wasn’t always straightforward. "It’s been totally unstrategic," she admitted. In 1991, after marrying media tycoon Ted Turner, she stepped away from acting, only to return and show the world that it’s never too late for a second act. One of her biggest hits, the 2018 comedy Book Club, came in her 80s. Looking ahead, she joked, "In my 90s, I’ll probably be doing my own stunts in an action movie!"
Age is Just a Number: Jane Fonda’s Approach to Aging
Jane Fonda isn’t letting her age get the best of her. In an interview with The New York Times, she shared, "I don’t feel like an old person. In fact, I’m much younger now than I was in my 20s, in all the ways that truly matter." For Jane, staying young means maintaining fitness, standing up for her beliefs, practicing good posture, and never losing her sense of curiosity. She’s not one to sit back and let life pass her by.

As someone who revolutionized fitness with her aerobics routines, Jane still prioritizes working out. "I’ve got a trainer who only works with people over 50," she explained. "We focus on upper body, lower body, every other day." While she moves a bit more cautiously these days—"You can get hurt more easily as you age," she warned—she sees this as part of the journey. "It’s all about moving slowly and mindfully," she added. "That’s the mantra for aging gracefully."
Even with slower movements, Jane continues to embrace new opportunities. Recently, she became a model for Golden Goose sneakers, proving that style knows no age limit. "I don’t wear heels anymore because they mess with my pelvis and hips," she said. "Now, it’s all about low heels or sneakers with a bit of sparkle. Why not add a little fun to your footwear?"
Staying Relevant and Inspiring Others
Jane’s story is a testament to the idea that life doesn’t end at a certain age. Whether it’s taking on new roles, advocating for causes she believes in, or simply enjoying life, she continues to inspire millions. Her ability to adapt and thrive in different phases of life serves as a reminder that growth never stops. As she looks toward the future, Jane remains optimistic and ready for whatever comes next. "There’s no expiration date on living life to the fullest," she said.
