Jane Fonda, 77-years-old, joined The Late Night stage with Steven Colbert, as he discusses her iconic life. He asserts that Jane is, like Dylan, an icon for the Baby Boomer generation.
Is Jane Fonda an icon of the Baby Boomer generation and would they embrace her as their icon? She certainly has stirred up angst surrounding the issues to which her name is attached, but do others from her generation view her in a favorable light?
Colbert seems to view her as an icon. He asserts that she was:
- The sex symbol of the the sexual revolution
- Vietnam anti-war activist
- The face of the work-out craze
- 1980’s business empire queen
- Mrs. Billionaire to Ted Turner
- Woman of Faith
Fonda certainly has lived an eventful life, with both positive and negative rolls along the way. Colbert asks if she the “entire scope” of the experience of life for a Baby Boomer.
Is Jane Fonda “the face” of the Baby Boomer generation? Steven Colbert posits to Fonda in a Late Night interview that she is the voice of that generation. I wonder if that is something that most Boomers would embrace or if they would rather separate themselves from her experiences.
“You are an icon of your generation. People say Bob Dylan was the voice of the Baby Boomer generation. Aren’t you, in some ways, the voice of the Baby Boomer generation? Because you were a sex symbol during the sexual revolution. You were an anti-war activist during Vietnam. You started the everybody get healthy workout craze. When, you know– during the ’80s when everybody– when business became king, you started your own business empire. You married a billionaire. Then, you became a person of faith. Now, you’re sort of leading the way into the Baby Boomers– showing them how to age with passion and grace. Aren’t you really, sort of, the icon of the entire scope of the Baby Boomer experience?

Stepped in Gold p**p after being a traitor. Tuff to call her an icon.

Rich,my grandfather flew bodies out all day n night…mmmmm,it doesn’t get close to calling it a good thing…nice threat,you funkin under cover commie….
Edward your meme shows how pitiful your grasp of reality is that may be the most ignorant thing you have used to rebut my comments yet ,what the more you type the less you think . Is that it ,and I thought Hanoi Jane was in a class by herself ,boy was I wrong . So we should stop defending the weak like Obama has us doing in the middle east . That is how you get hundreds of thousands more dead over there . You are even lower in my esteem than your earlier comments . Yes war is ugly , and no one that has ever served wants to . But when it is either die like sheep or change my beliefs I will choose to defend myself and my country , and I guess that means you to unless you have already bared your neck to the blade or chosen to take up arms against your own country.

Colbert & Communist Jane are best described as “2 pieces of c**p”!
Only a liberal could stoop to profanity so quickly ,another sure sign of an education of ignorance . But keep it up so all will know that all you have on your side is cuss ,I will stick with the truth.
Stupid!
Great game so far Douglas Cookson
