Jane Fonda did not hesitate to reveal the name of the renowned filmmaker who wanted to sleep with her
Jane Fonda has an outstanding career, not only as an actress, and a participant in renowned Hollywood productions but as a writer and activist.
At 85, she remains as active as ever and for this reason, in a recent episode of Watch What Happens Live she made an unexpected revelation about one of the most traumatic moments she had to experience as a movie star.
Jane Fonda claimed that French director René Clément asked her to have relations with him during the filming of the 1964 thriller Joy House, in which she starred.
It all happened when the presenter Andy Cohen asked her to bring to light the name of the man who wanted to have a meeting with her when he had already rejected it. The renowned figure did not hesitate for a second and she revealed it.
“Well, she wanted to sleep with me because she said the character had to S- in the movie and she needed to see what my S- was like. She said it in French and I pretended I didn't understand,” Jane Fonda recounted.
The truth is that at that time, Jane Fonda was only 27 years old, while the aforementioned director was 51. René Clément was one of the most recognized and influential filmmakers in French cinema, leaving an enormous legacy in the 1950s and 1960s.
This is not the first time that the actress has referred to the abuse that she suffered in her life. A few years ago, he made shocking revelations about his history. "To show you how much patriarchy takes its toll on women: I was rap-d, abused as a child, and fired because I didn't want to sleep with my boss. And I always thought it was my fault, that I hadn't done or said the right thing ", he assured.
