Jane Fonda Opens Up to TIME Magazine on Ted Turner Divorce: 'The Fear Is That If You Speak Up You're Going To Lose Your Man - Well I Did, and I Did. But I Couldn't Have Been Happy Otherwise' 'I Was Not Going To Live My Third Act With Regrets,' Fonda Tells TIME Stayed In Atlanta After Divorce To Be Close to Offices of Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (G-CAPP), An Organization She Founded Thu Mar 31 2005 17:25:55 ET -- In an interview with TIME magazine's Josh Tyrangiel, Jane Fonda opens up about her divorce from Ted Turner, saying "The fear is always that if you speak up you're going to lose your man-well I did, and I did. But I couldn't have been happy otherwise." TIME's interview with Fonda, along with exclusive excerpts from the her new book My Life So Far (Random House), will appear in the upcoming issue of TIME (on newsstands Monday, April 4). Fonda tells TIME: "I was 62 years old and I made a deal with myself that I was not going to live my third act with regrets. So I came to a point that was utterly terrifying. I told the man I loved, the man I wanted to spend the rest of my life with, that changes needed to be made. It doesn't matter what they were. What matters is it took me so long to break the silence," she tells TIME. Fonda insists that what the public saw in her divorce from Ted Turner was not the confused end of yet another phase, but the assertive debut of her complete feminist self, a project that had been quietly flourishing while the marriage deteriorated, TIME reports. When Fonda decided to stay in Atlanta after the break-up, it was widely presumed she did so to stay close to Turner; in fact, she moved into her loft (actually four lofts combined into one) so that she could be nearer the downtown offices of the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention (G-CAPP), an organization she founded after learning that Georgia had the highest teen pregnancy rate in the country. G-CAPP helps teach girls and women that they control their bodies, and that gender equality is essential to strong relationships. Fonda launched it in 1995, while she was still with Turner. "It took me a while to apply those lessons to myself, but subliminally we teach what we need to learn," she tells TIME, adding, "see, I really was on my way," she tells TIME. |
