Flick of the Day

Film: BAREFOOT IN THE PARK

Director: Gene Saks

Actors: Robert Redford, Jane Fonda, Charles Boyer, Mildred Natwick, Herb Edelman

Year: 1967

Synopsis: A newly married couple deals with their first year together.

I love Robert Redford and I love Jane Fonda and the fact that they did a movie together is fantastic. This is a real treat. Fonda and Redford play a recently married couple who try to iron out the kinks in their relationship while living in a sixth-floor walk-up New York apartment. It's funny and cute and worth a watch.

Family Ties

The Fonda family is one of Hollywood's biggest dynasties. Former patriarch Henry Fonda spawned two acting kids, two-time Oscar nominee Peter Fonda and two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda. It doesn't stop there. Peter is the father of actor Bridget Fonda and Jane is the mother of actor Troy Garity.

***Henry Fonda is best known for his work in "Grapes of Wrath", "12 Angry Men", and his Oscar-winning performance in "On Golden Pond". Peter Fonda has starred in "Easy Rider" and "Ulee's Gold". Jane Fonda is the star of "Barbarella", "Georgia Rule", and "Klute". Bridget Fonda is best known for "Point of No Return", "A Simple Plan", and "Lake Placid". Troy Garity has appeared in "Bandits", "Barbershop", and "My One and Only".

Candid of the Week

Flick of the Day

Film: NINE TO FIVE

Director: Colin Higgins

Actors: Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, Dolly Parton, Dabney Coleman, Elizabeth Wilson, Sterling Hayden

Year: 1980

Synopsis: Three career women turn the table on their sexist, egotistical boss.

In a time when women were really beginning to get out of the kitchen and into an office, Jane Fonda, Lily Tomlin, and Dolly Parton took on the roles of Jude, Violet, and Doralee. Three working women just trying to make their way. The big problem is their awful boss, played perfectly by Dabney Coleman. This film is funny, well written, and the cast is fantastic. If you haven't seen this, it's high time you tried it out.

Performance of the Day

Actor: JANE FONDA

Film: "Cat Ballou"

Character: Cat Ballou

Year: 1965

Long before the days of 'Hanoi Jane' and two Oscar wins, Fonda starred as a young woman out to avenge her father's murder. She joins forces with an infamous gunslinger, but he's not the man he used to be. Fonda is funny, endearing, and down-right fabulous as strong-willed Cat Ballou. She held her own next to hilarious acting veteran Lee Marvin (as the shaky gun-for-hire).

and the Oscar Goes to...
