Celebrity Divorces: Jane Fonda

Jane Fonda is a celebrity whose off-screen exploits have done more harm than good for her career. When she spoke against American soldiers during the Vietnam war, no amount of apologies later on would undo the damage.

Jane Fonda and Roger Vadim: Filmmaker Vadim, Bridgette Bardot’s ex, was Fonda’s first husband and the reason she starred in the space film Barbarella. Their sexually uninhibited 1967 marriage ended when she became involved with radical causes and Tom Hayden. They were divorced in 1973.

Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden: Reportedly pregnant by anti-war activist Hayden in 1972, by the time Fonda and Hayden married in 1973, she had publicly denounced American soldiers as killers and been used in North Vietnamese propaganda. She spent considerable energy working on Hayden’s 1976 senate campaign. They were divorced in 1990.

Jane Fonda and Ted Turner: Media tycoon Turner and actress/aerobics guru Fonda married in December 1991. In January 2000 the couple announced they were separating and their divorce was final May 2001. Turner said Fonda changed when she suddenly decided to convert to Christianity. She said he needed constant attention.
