Put yourself in Fonda's position. She has been trying unsuccessfully to live this down for over 4 decades. We've all done stupid things we regret. But because we all live under the radar and are not in the public eye, it all goes away with age and time. This has tracked her like she's been carrying an electronic device. She cannot escape it. Try to imagine over the last 40+ years how many times this has come up to haunt her? At restaurants, parties, social gatherings, public appearances. Name it, and she's had it put right in her face, time and time again. She's a victim of her own popularity.
Sure, she's lived an affluent lifestyle because of her own wealth, along with the all but countless men she's been married to. But it has had to have been a living nightmare for her, as well as it should be. Had she never did this, she would be just another Hollywood actress who wasn't half bad looking in her day. Now she's forever branded, much like Casey Anthony will be. I have to admit, she's held up well. Many have committed suicide for a hell of a lot less. Money can only buy you a fancier prison to hide out in. Just ask Pablo Escobar.......If he was alive. Bill T.
