Jane Fonda: Father was incapable of expressing love
How did the daughter and her father reconcile? In 1981, the actress produced the film “On the Golden Pond”. It was a story about a withdrawn man and his estranged daughter. Jane starred in it alongside Henry. Katherine Hepburn played the role of the mother. While recording the scene in which Jane was supposed to tell her father that she cared about his friendship, she was terrified. She was then supported by Hepburn. “The fact that she noticed how hard it was for me and tried to support me as much as she could meant everything to me then,” Fonda said.
According to the actress, her father was incapable of expressing love. -Talking to my father about my feelings is like bringing a dead animal and laying it at his feet. He would just look astonished and ask: What should I do about it? – the actress admitted in one of the interviews.
