Jane Fonda (b. 1937) watched U.S. political developments during 1968 on television from Paris and “realized that people were finding a way to create change.” Returning in late 1969, she traveled across the country, frequenting GI coffeehouses and risking arrest to encourage soldiers to support the peace movement. In 1972, Fonda journeyed to North Vietnam, where she delivered speeches on Hanoi radio imploring U.S. pilots to stop bombing and posed provocatively with an antiaircraft gun.
