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?

She could have been a great actress with a lot of fans if she had stayed out of the war and supported her country.
Our country is U.S.A that one country is one system,and country is first,so they(Chinese(Taipei),China) are enemies to U.S.Taiwan,and thank you very much for U.S.Taiwan.Welcome to U.S.Taiwan (美國台灣) in 2015 that you can ask for “AIT”,and don’t forget “King-Men eight two three (金門823) in 1959.” China wants to take U.S.Taiwan(美國台灣),so it’s enemy to U.S.Taiwan. Taiwan military(army,navy,air force…ect) is KMT of military,so it’s must remove it of “KMT” mark,and become to U.S.Taiwan of military

China washed brain to Chinese (Taipei) that it’s in history of book ,so China is enemy to U.S.Taiwan (美國台灣). It’s just China Out in U.S.Taiwan that it’s fine.
中國入侵美國台灣消滅中華民國在歷史課本裡，必需依法處理中國（老鼠國家:共產黨（惡魔黨）強盜,土匪）提交聯合國安理會及國際海牙法庭審理依國際法,戰爭法…等相關法律處理。

You think so huh. I know myself and thousands more who will say.F U.to that.
Jane Fonda is synonymous of Treason. I was one of those in Vietnam that she beamed her broadcast from Hanoi about her anti American sentiments and her love for those we fought in the battlefield…

An icon for Treason
