To begin with, Jane Fonda’s father was the great actor Henry Fonda, a difficult act to follow, but fortunately they were close – particularly as her mother Frances committed suicide when she was 12 – and encouraged his daughter in her interest, and they even appeared together on stage. Jane debuted as on the Broadway stage in the play “There Was a Little Girl” (1960) and was nominated for the Tony Award. Meanwhile, she appeared on the feature film “Tall Story” (1960) directed by Joshua Logan. A couple of years later, the actress rose to the prominence after starring in the film “Period of Adjustment” (1962) directed by George Roy Hill. Critics consistently praised her acting, and Fonda received two nominations for a Golden Globe and Laurel Awards.
