Jane Fonda, the actress and former political activist, has gone public with her new Christian faith. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey for Winfrey’s new “O” magazine, Fonda talks about her “incredible” connection to God, or what I call the Holy Spirit.”
Fonda was raised in an agnostic home, but began a spiritual search about a decade ago. She now attends a black Baptist church in Atlanta.
Fonda discussed her estranged husband, CNN founder Ted Turner, describing him as “a fallen angel.” “He was going to be a missionary” but felt betrayed by God when his sister died at a young age. “It turned him hostile, and it’s not hard to be hostile to the church. The formal church has a lot to apologize for.”
Fonda said she would go to her grave regretting being photographed in a Vietcong antiaircraft carrier during the Vietnam War, an action she described as “thoughtless.”
