When you think of Jane Fonda, you think Oscar-winning actor, controversial anti-war crusader, feminist, activist, married three times to alpha men, divorced three times from same, and, of course, the legendary workout videos which gave America the equally legendary “buttock tucks.”
You may also know that Fonda at 78, defying a Hollywood norm, is still acting full-time. She’s starring now in the Netflix hit “Grace and Frankie” and was nominated for a Golden Globe award in the new movie, “Youth.”

Here’s what you may not know about Fonda: Defying another Hollywood norm, she’s a Jesus-lover on an intense spiritual quest in that most secular of secular worlds. And hers is a particularly unusual quest. Call it Christianity with an asterisk, according to cruxnow.
When actress Jane Fonda announced that she had converted to Christianity, perhaps no one was more surprised than Fonda herself. As she put it, “I always assumed I was an atheist.” In 2006, Fonda revealed to Charlie Rose that she had found Christianity during a time of crisis in her life. She admitted that her conversion likely played a part in ending her 10-year marriage to Ted Turner, a “staunch atheist.” Fonda now refers to Christianity as her “spiritual home.”

Sometimes the most unlikely people become followers of Jesus, at least from the human perspective. But the Lord takes us all on a unique journey, and Jane Fonda is no exception. The only thing about her journey that separated her from others is that she has long held a place in the public spotlight.
Who is the Real Jane Fonda?
Jane Fonda was the daughter of the legendary actor Henry Fonda, and his wife Frances Brokaw. Her father became legendary by playing heroic characters in movies like The Grapes of Wrath and Twelve Angry Men. However, it does not seem he was as heroic in real life, as he was abusive to his family. Her mother committed suicide in a mental institution when Jane was 12. Jane Fonda attended Vassar College, and during that time struggled with bulimia. Not really sure of her direction in life, she ended up studying at Lee Strasberg’s Actors’ Studio. Today she has made over 80 film appearances and won Academy Awards for her work in Klute (1971) and Coming Home (1978) and has been nominated five other times.

The Years as an Activist
So much of her career was about finding herself. Once she was involved in acting, she excelled. Later she married movie director Roger Vadim because she was taken by his “European intellectualism,” which most people identify with liberalism. Fonda was the loser in this relationship too, for Vadim, who had been formerly married to Bridget Bardot publicly ridiculed Jane, and she took the heat for starring in his 1968 failure, Barbarella.
However, armed with a liberal worldview, Jane Fonda became a political activist and received wide criticism for visiting Hanoi in the mist of the Vietnam War. She has since apologized for this act saying. “It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless.”

Peter Fonda, her brother, probably summed up the Hanoi visit in the most accurate way. He said, “Her heart was in the right place, but her head wasn’t.” Jane Fonda continued to be outspoken about political issues, and was later married to radical activist turned politician Tom Hayden. She and Hayden divorced in 1989 after a 16 year marriage.
A Season of Changes
In the late 1970’s Fonda turned her attention to being a film producer (The China Syndrome, 9-5, and On Golden Pond among others) and later produced and starred in a series of popular exercise videos.#In 1991 she did something that shocked those close to her, and that was marrying Ted Turner, founder of CNN. Turner was a conservative, but worse, he often acted in unrefined ways and is known as, “The Mouth of the South.” He has verbally attacked Christians on many occasions and once said, “Christianity is a religion for losers.”

Turner said it was his wife’s conversion to Christianity that was responsible for the divorce that ended their nine year marriage. In a New Yorker magazine article Turner said, “She just came home and said: ‘I’ve become a Christian.’ That’s a pretty big change for your wife of many years to tell you. That’s a shock.”
How Jane Met Jesus
Fonda’s conversion did not come overnight. She was on a very specific spiritual journey for two years before receiving the Lord. One of her close friends says that embracing Christ was “very real, very deep” for Fonda according to a published report.
Several Christian friends in Atlanta were among those involved in Fonda’s path to Christ. These are said to include Ginny Millner, wife of Georgia Republican leader Guy Millner, and Nancy McGuirk, whose husband is an executive in Turner Broadcasting, according to an article in the Washington Times.

The key figure in Jane Fonda’s spiritual search may have been her chauffeur according to the article. When Ted Turner became upset when she began attending Atlanta’s fashionable Peachtree Presbyterian Church, Fonda asked her chauffeur where should she go. The chauffeur invited her to attend his church, the predominantly black Providence Missionary Baptist Church. She accepted the invitation, and became a regular there.
The Rev. Gerald Durley, pastor of the church was quoted by the Atlanta Journal-Constitution as saying, “I am extremely impressed with the genuineness and sincerity in [her] search for spirituality and wholeness.”
