Jane Fonda takes the cash at Vienna’s opera ball
NewsThe veteran actor, 85, is quite clear about what she’s doing in Vienna’s celebrity parade as the date of a 90 year-old building magnate.
She told a press conference:
‘It’s a beautiful city, I would love to come back, but I may die tomorrow. I’m 85… Last year I had three to four film projects, this year there’s nothing, I’m totally committed to climate activism, I don’t work and don’t make money. So every now and then I accept invitations that bring me money. I need the money, so that I can pay my bills and support my grandchildren.’

Jane Fonda: always refreshing!
Is the parade good for the climate?
Is it so urgent to save the climate that the humble activists need a private jet?
At least there will someone over there from the left ahahahah
I would hope that it’s time for her grand children to support her
She also said that she wont dance, her body might not handle it well with an artificial shoulder, two new hips and knees. All about her is fake. Also she did not know that she came for a ball, she wanted to see an opera!
Of course Ms. Fonda is artificial…she is an ACTRESS.
Sad that Vienna needs to pay famous people to decorate their fêtes.
I’m a fan of Vienna in general. But I do think you have a valid criticism there.
So as not to call it what it is, let’s just say “escort.” The world’s oldest profession may have one of the oldest practitioners. It doesn’t always have to be about sex.
I have always liked Jane Fonda as an actress, but not as a rent girl.
Tiredofitall is incorrect.
Neither the city of Vienna nor the Wiener Staatsoper pay for “famous people to decorate their fêtes.”
Miss Fonda’s presence was privately sponsored by the nonagenarian parvenu property developer Richard Lugner whose previous pantheon of cultural luminaries included Ivana Trump, Pamela Anderson, Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian and Silvio Berlusconi’s pre-pubertal paramour, Ruby the Heartbreaker.
Considering The Cement King barely speaks English, and Miss Fonda does not include fluency in Germany (or more specifically gutter Wienerisch) in her CV, one can imagine that conversation between the hired Hollywood huckster and poseur patron would have been rather limited.
That such a tawdry excuse for a “promi” is actually extolled by Austrian media would have been unthinkable during the règne du raffinement of Christl Gräfin Schönfeldt.
In many ways it is indicative of the general decline of the Wiener Staatsoper which has become little more than a Vienna TripAdviser attraction to be squeezed in between a ride on the Riesenrad and munching an overpriced torte at the Cafe Sacher.
Like Lugner himself, both are likely to turn the stomach.
On the contrary, she is refreshingly honest: a former sex symbol speaking matter of fact about advancing age and orthopedic problems, and not pretending to be ageless.
Replacement hips, knees, shoulder – yeah, real vanity items, those. It’s not exactly silicon boobs or collagen-pout lips. She’s 85 FFS. She needs them to remain mobile and functional. Wait’ll it happens to you.
At least Jane Fonda is openly earning her fee.
But what makes a man want to pay a hefty amount for an American Opernball date he probably hasn’t met before? That’s beyond me. And by the way he is Austrian! (Sorry, USA bashers.)
Refreshing frankness…. what a concept!
What mismanagement has caused Jane Fonda to need money?
And why do her grandchildren need supporting?
