He just has an issue with women.

She did not elaborate and the moderator did not follow up.

The last movie I made with him was six years ago [Our Souls at Night].

What was I, about 80 years old or something like that.

And I finally knew I had grown up.

Nonetheless, she said, We always had a good time.

Palme D’Or Award

She noted how gorgeous he was at that time, but not so much now.

Hes had a rough life.

But then he was the most beautiful human being.

I take my hat off.

But as a man?

I loved making the movie.

And Lee Marvin was fabulous, she recalled.

He was very funny.

He was always drunk.

We stayed at the same motel, and they had to carry him up the stairs.

We would shoot sometimes 14 hours a day, she noted.

And Lee Marvin took me aside and he said, Fonda, were the stars of this movie.

If we allow them to work us so many hours, were not the ones that get hurt.

We have to stand up for the crew.

And that had never occurred to me.

That was a huge lesson from Lee Marvin.

It was one of the most glorious experiences of my life.

It was absolutely wonderful, Fonda said.

I made the movie for my father.

But the person who I learned from on that movie was Katharine.

The film earned her father an Oscar and another one for Hepburn too her fourth as Best Actress.

And they did, she recalled.

And I called [Hepburn] up to congratulate her and she said, Youll never catch me!

She said she didnt think Hepburn liked her.

Fonda described Lily Tomlin as her favorite co-star.

They first worked together on9 to 5, and most recently on80 for Brady, released earlier this year.

We still have reason to be hopeful if we do everything right.

But Im saying this is serious.

It is a tragedy that we have to absolutely stop.

We have to arrest and jail those men theyre all men [responsible for the crisis].

There would be no climate crisis if there was no patriarchy.

A mindset that sees things in a hierarchical way.

White men are the things that matter and then everything else [is] at the bottom.

Its important because we have to get out of the silos feminists over here, environmentalists over here.

Thats what I learned when I started being an activist around the Vietnam War.

The more you go down any issue, whatever it is, you realize that its all connected.
