TEDxWomen -- Jane Fonda
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 12. 2011
- Jane Fonda, actress, author, producer, activist, exercise guru, and guest curator and host of the ReBirth Session, opens up the third section with a discussion of what she calls the "Third Act" of life, what we can do to make the most of these years, and how we can use these years to make a difference. She describes her own search for self-understanding as she grew older, and explains how reflecting on experiences is key to moving forward with clarity and meaning.
TEDxWomen was curated and produced by The Paley Center for Media. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

What she did / is doing is incredible. I am 20yo, and I have been very positively influenced by her works: watching Grace&Frankie was so relieving, it helped me see life as much wider and bigger than I ever thought. This TedTalk and interviews of her are making me challenge the way I act on a daily basis, and she is giving me a new kind of hope.
Jane's a special kind of girl -- unbelievably introspective to the point
Jane teaches us to be (introspective).
Couldn’t agree more! I’m in the same boat now. I’m 21 :)
I admire Jane Fonda. She is not just a beautiful woman externally, but a woman who seeks knowledge and shares it with other women to bring meaning to our aging life. She pushes back the walls and boundaries that most of us would just accept as part of living. She has exercised her mind as well as her body. I appreciate what she has shared. Thank you, Jane!
Hi Kristina hope you're okay?
Thanks Jane ...full marks to you ! I turned 70 and never felt better, turning the clock and shedding my inhibitions and that acquired dignity !! So far so good...
This is the best TED talk I´ve ever heard! Finding our true selves requires a huge step back to see who we were to begin with, before all conditioning etc happened. I love Jane Fonda!
Great true.
Jane is unique like star and human!!
it's sensational, I had no idea Jane did this.
Excellent talk. Jane is an amazing spokeswoman for those of us entering and into the 'third act'. Bravo Jane!
By far my favourite TED talk. I listen to it again and again. Moving, wise and so well said. Jane you're AWESOME
Awesome speech from an awesome Lady
@@elizabethkeegan377 Strong, Confident & Intelligent
@@elizabethkeegan377 yeah and how are you
A mentor, hero, and inspiration in every act of life. Love you Jane!
Hi Susan hope you're okay?
Jane is courageous,strong and beautiful.
Thanks, Jane. You are so smart, beautiful, and downright likable, it's as if we're here in conversation with a good friend. Aging has been a revelation to me, after the terror I felt moving into my 40s. Now, in my mid 60s, I can relate to everything you so eloquently express. I frequently tell women younger than me not to fear aging. When the biological mandate of procreation is over, lights turn on and show us all the wonders that were always there in the background while mating was in the spotlight. It's a hard thing to imagine when haven't passed through this gate, but it's what I have found in my third act.
So "Stella Bandante", do you like to give great praise and support unknown traitor to this country?! Then you should be ashamed of yourself!!!!
I agree. Jxxx
Well put!
Jane Fonda is exquisite, Women and men in our "third act" will benefit from her wisdom and the spreading of it, I'm on board, I celebrate with Jane in all that I've gained in my 60 plus years, I've sent this to everyone I know, ThankU God for sending us Jane and ThankU Jane for sharing ur wisdom💕
I'd like you to say the same thing, to all of the vets'; of "Vietnam"!!!! How dare you, you JACKASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! May God shame you
+Sky Eagle well Sedd sky
This is so true. My life is better now than it ever was. The things that I thought were important to me, no longer matter. Being HAPPY is what is important to me and more forgiving.
Nice talk. Thank you! Throughout my life I've experienced Jane Fonda as a wonderful actor and powerful teacher. As she learns and grows she shares what she's learned. I appreciate it very much.
I read her book and loved It!
I love this talk. I can listen to it over and over. It reminds me to feel empowered as I age. I am moving into my third act and I am excited to do so. Now is the time for me. Jane Fonda, thank you for being a role model. Thank you for Grace and Frankie. Thank you for telling the world we are not done yet, not by far.
Hi Julia hope you're okay?
im 59 so this IS interesting and I love Jane Fonda----go Jane Fonda!
I needed to hear this today. I have written a master thesis on trying to re define myself and cultural shifts. Thank you Jane Fonda. You are my SHERO. ps loving Frankie and Gracie.
A Heroine!
I would love to read it.
heroine (n.)
1650s, "demigoddess," from Latin heroine, heroina (plural heroinae) "a female hero, a demigoddess" (such as Medea), from Greek hērōine, fem. of hērōs (see hero (n.1)). Meaning "heroic woman, woman distinguished by exalted courage or noble achievements" is from 1660s.
"shero" makes no linguistic sense.
My very favorite TED TALK, l watch it over and over again.Jane Fonda is a role model.I love her wisdom,honesty,candor and tenacity .Love you Jane Fonda ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋👌👌👌🙏
Jane Fonda,she’s full of wisdom. I love her honesty ,a ROLE MODEL . You’re AWESOME Jane Fonda ❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋😍😍😍👌👌👌
i agree... her lifestyle.. including diet and exercise will greatly add to her ability to fully enjoy the rest of her life..she looks great and she is sharp as a tack and that is no accident.. it is through shear effort...
And cosmetic surgery. I'm not criticizing her for that, it's just a big part of why she looks good.

@@susantunbridge4612 Thank you.. i'm blind, my voice to text software sometimes isn't perfect.
Jane Fonda is brilliant, so true.
From A Great Father, Henry Fonda
What a great speaker
She is an example to all that we can forgive ourselves for our mistakes when we were young, and move on and grow into greatness.
This woman is my inspiration. Love you Jane! Thanks for all!!
What a beautiful speech..this is exactly what I have been thinking lately..every single thought I just said two days ago to a lovely psychologist I met on holiday in Corfu..what a coincidence..love your love for true wisdom Jane Fonda, thank you
Jane Fonda is an inspiration for all of us as we grow through the phases of life! Brilliant!!!
Thank you Jane for always being true to yourself! You are a perfect model for authenticity!
My favourite woman for all time ................ solid character , beautiful , motivating and just lovely !
Mohammed El Massri, Her autobiography is titled, "The Dirtbag you Never Knew." by Hanoi Jane
Deeply moving. Inspirational. So wise.
I ask you too in case you read this now...
I'm italian and i'm not sure i got all of what she said. Did she say:
"Women start awful, don't we? I mean as girls we're feisty. < yeah? Who says? > We have agency. We are the subject of our own lives, but very often many if not most of us, when we hit puberty, we start worring about fitting in and being popular, and we become the subjects and objects of other people's lives"
"But now it may be possible for us to circle back to where we started, and know it for the first time. And if we can do that, it will be not just for ourselves. [...] If we can go back and redefine ourselves and become whole, this will create a cultural shift in the world and it will give an example to younger generations, so that they reconceive their own lifespan" thank you!
@@profilergail she said 'women start off WHOLE...' not awful :)
@@SeeWoelfin yeah and how are you

Will use this talk to inform the Third Friday Conversation at the Olympia Senior Center. We use the term "third thirty", and I like "Third Act", as well! We use a modified World Cafe format for our conversations: small groups, powerful questions, emergent wisdom.
So, you're giving great praise to a known traitor of this country?! Then shame on you!!!!!!
Jane, you are magnificent.
Hi Nancy hope you're okay?
I love this bright vibrant woman
Entering my second Act - I've experienced the clarity Jane is speaking of and thank God - I am not afraid of getting old, I just don't want to get old, but hopefully I will age gracefully as Jane.
Hi Janelle hope you're okay?
I'm 50 and I feel way better then when I was 20 :-) Love you Jane xx
Very inspiring. Im not afraid of getting old anymore. Thank you Jane.
YES YES YES!!!!! I am in my second act and I already feel this 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏💖💖💖💖💖💖🌈
Hi Heather hope you're okay?
Jane, you are wonderful, loved, and have garnered information for the world that will open hearts and lives in healing. Beautiful reflections of women...bless you.
Hi Diane hope you're okay?
ACT 3 IS NOT THE FINAL.........Life just gets better and Better and BETTER. I promise.
Hi Ardath hope you're okay?
I love you Jane, you're one of a kind... I discovered you through Monster in law movie. I've watched that movie a ton of times. You performance was incredibly witty.
A wonderful great spirit like an Angel...... Jane Fonda
Very interesting. Excellent overview and some wonderful things to think about. Not every person in their 3rd act gets this, they complain about their health and how lonely it is, ect. Not me! I am living my life the way I choose. It is not a matter of how much money one has-it is the way you live your life-emotionally, spiritually mentally and physically. Be grateful for what you have!
Having lived through the Hanoi Jane area, I'm si glad I looked passed the judgement of this woman to see the lady of courage she is. She can teach us much.
Hi Eileen hope you're okay?
Age as potential! Great speech
All I can say is WOW..
Just need to say that Jane you are good!
Yes many cultures do have this knowledge but unfortunately we don't.
So let's get wise and spread out and share this whit the whole world .
Thank you Jane Fonda for this amazing talk. You spoke so much of what I know to be true and have been speaking about for many years. I am a kinesiologist, author and motivational speaker and your speech was almost de ju vu :) I love being in my 3rd Act!
Hi Marney hope you're okay?
Jane is an accomplished lady who I adore and respect. Having said that, why didn't she talk about wealth and how it plays into the equation of aging because it makes a difference in how one ages.
True happiness is not always linked to material stuff. As a matter of fact happiness is an internal state that money may destroy not foster .. u can be happy living in 1 room condo and unhappy living in a castle! Money makes ur needs easily met but being happy is a brain decision and a psychological state created by you. She is right in all what she said. Being older makes it easier for you to worry less and find contentment in little few things that once were dismissed by ur younger version
No happiness and fulfilment is not related to money however having no money can stifle opportunities for fulfilment.
David Smith = they will bury her - certainly-in the pantheon,(anyhuman being must die one day,alas ! ),near mr Mac Cain, for American coming generation and ours to come venere.
@@mahaenazy , Traitor Jane never gave up her "material stuff." She lives a privileged life, lucky to be born the worthless offspring of a talented actor/father. She wants to redeem herself for standing on the throats of the American military. Her only contribution to mankind will be feeding maggots some day. They'll likely vomit.
@@mahaenazy Maybe he meant more with respect to access to health care, good nutrition, not having to work into exhaustion, etc.
I enjoy my life more than I ever have before at age 71! My father suffered from clinical depression - and much of my High School and College careers were difficult, but now I am able to enjoy myself reading and watching DVDs and exercising. It is wonderful! I wish I could do as much as I could when I was young but I am much more wise. I will enjoy my final act!
I've always found Jane Fonda to be genuine and courageous,like all of us she certainly is not perfect though she manifests empathy,honesty,love,among several other qualities.Thank you Jane for your outspokenness !!
I love Jane Fonda and I love that she is talking about this!! I'm going through my enlightenment now and am excited to see what my youtube channel endeavor will bring
Hi Stephanie hope you're okay?
A genius-how many of us make it to this age. Hard won these elder years
"Hanoi Jane", is no "Elder"!!!!! That would imply, that she's a human being!!!!!
I can't possibly do thumbs up on all the posts. 👍👍 I have taken today to introduce myself to Jane. I feel like I know you. I love Drill Friday. I need more from you and others. I think it's time to go ageless. What you think about, you become. This third act is not your last but your first as an aware conscious being. I so agree. This meaning to me is connection. Amen. Relationships without triggers. You are creating melatonin, seratonin, and joy. You are a joy. I would sincerely love to meet you. 🎈
Hi Connie hope you're okay?
Good speach, and I totally agree , older women have a lot to offer the world 💖
Hi Pauline hope you're okay?
I am a huge fan of Jane Fonda!
Then you need to be a fan, from someone who is not a selfish traitor!!!!!
Thank you for being you Jane Fonda! Always an inspiration
🐬🐬🐬🐬
Hi Loretta hope you're okay?
Jane Fonda has been a huge inspiration to me ever since her Jane Fonda workouts. I was an aerobics instructor, at that time. I read her book during that period. She’s a remarkable human being. . 💕😊
Hi Janice hope you're okay'?
So wise, yes I believe what she says is true
My favorite my super favorite celebrity and teacher. I love me some Jane Fonda.
Hi Ana hope you're okay?
There will never be another Jane Fonda xx
This was excellent. I believe that is the truth. All of it.
Hi Barb hope you're okay?
Go Jane go! You totally ROCK!
Should be memorized by everyone over 50 - a really significant piece of work
by Jane. Really enjoyed this piece on our "Third Act" and how to approach it.
How I did not know about this amazing woman before. Thanks God I discovered her ... listening to her is like a water full of wisdom and good sense of humour added .. hehe
Hi Lisbella hope you're okay?
Jane you are an inspiration to all women!!!
Carolyn i'm italian and i'd love to know if i got al her speech. Would you tell me if she said ""Women start awful, don't we? I mean as girls we're feisty. < yeah? Who says? > We have agency. We are the subject of our own lives, but very often many if not most of us, when we hit puberty, we start worring about fitting in and being popular, and we become the subjects and objects of other people's lives"
"But now it may be possible for us to circle back to where we started, and know it for the first time. And if we can do that, it will be not just for ourselves. [...] If we can go back and redefine ourselves and become whole, this will create a cultural shift in the world and it will give an example to younger generations, so that they reconceive their own lifespan"?
Thank you!
SentByHim I mean, really. Why are you watching this? Why did you click on her video if you don't like her and think she's a traitor? You're clearly living about 40 some odd years in the past and there's progress that has been made. We no longer hang people just because we think we should. And who's SentByHIm? Him? Do you mean god? In my religion, my god chooses love over hatred. And only GOD is allowed to judge people. You can't judge her because you don't know her on a personal level, at all. You clearly haven't even bothered to try. There were many people who spoke out against the War back in the 1970's but you cling onto her... Why? Because she's famous? Because she's a woman and women should know their place? Let me tell you something, those times have absolutely changed in the last 40 years. Women don't have to bend to your will anymore just because we're women and Jane Fonda was part of that. If you don't like it then I'm sorry but progress is being made. You can go crawl under a rock where women just do what they're told like good little soldiers and follow blindly. She's not one of those women, and that probably scares you/Furthermore, She's not even talking about the war in this video. If you're going to talk about the war and how you think she's a traitor. Google her 1970's videos and interviews if you want to comment so badly of your false need to hate her based on what you think you know and go there. She's talking about aging here.
Just because I seek understanding of something doesn't mean I'm seeking agreement with it. Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer. And thinking she's a traitor is one thing, knowing she is, is another. She even went on Barbra Walter's show and apologized for what she did to our POWs. Do you know the story? Do you know she manned VC anti aircraft weapons and fired at American troops? These are all verifiable facts of history. At the time she did them she was proud of her actions and flaunted them where ever she went. She has the nickname of "Hanoi Jane" for that very reason. Look into it, it's absolutely appalling.
I have looked into it, thank you. I've also looked into her progression and the fact that it was over 40 years ago. I mean, really, you're living in the past. And you clearly haven't looked into when she first got back from her trip as being "Hanoi Jane" when she stated very clearly that she had no sympathy for Vietnam soldiers. She said, and I quote "it's impossible to have sympathy for them. I had sympathy for our soldiers". We lost that war. Get over it, man. And we had no business being there in the first place-- that's clear. So her being against the war automatically makes her a traitor? I mean, really? I'm against the Iraqi war and the Bush administration-- does that automatically mean that I am a traitor or that I am not in agreement with some of what our government is doing? Is it not the first amendment that freedom of speech is allowed? If this is a free country then shouldn't "Hanoi Jane" or "third act Jane" be allowed to have a different opinion than you?
and, by the way, what exactly about your statement that she's a "traitorous whore" is intelligent and/or educated? It just seems like that is a childlike way to argue your point. And it seems as though you've forgotten that, since the 1920's, women have been able to vote and... Oh my god, women can wear pants and drive and have an opinion. Oh, and women can also challenge ideas and fight for equality because if I'm made to do the same exact job as you, then I should get paid the same. Now, if you're going to have a real intellectual conversation about Jane Fonda or about any woman that you want to tear down-- make sure that you actually stop the most unintelligent form of arguing-- Name Calling. You can do better. Would you call a man a whore if you just disagreed with them and figured them for an enemy?
and, by the way, you're not keeping her close at all. You're just watching her over the internet like everyone else. You have no idea where she lives and you don't interact with her directly, so that is actually a very moot point.
There is no statute of limitations on war crimes. Do you think people should stop hunting Nazis?
The only moot point is your bind support of this traitorous scamp
Outstanding Jane...Great Job!
you didn't listen to the speech..we make the choices that got us to our third acts... she said to forgive others and especially yourself for the choices you made... she did forget to say, " be grateful for what you have, no matter how small it may seem.." gratitude gives you a sense of well-being...and ultimate happiness that money cannot buy... i know, i'm poor, but oh..so rich in happiness.. much good health to you..
our soul purpose here is to get over the illusion of separateness...!
For me , at 65 , I get to finally relax , do what I want , when I want ....or not ....I am so content and happy with my life right now ....just so different from any other time in my life ...
When i hit 40 i came to realize this and started asking questions and got to know my grandmother more and then understood my mother and everything was so much clear and finally forgave them and forgave my self and now that i hear fonda talk about this i feel so happy i am in the right path.
WOW THIS MADE SO MUCH SENSE. TO ME - I'M JUST 26! I'm gon watch it many times ik that, it has more sense than i could grasp in one go. ily gurl Jane
So true. Same was the case for Stephen Hawking, so accomplished despite physical decline
I love her!!!
Moni ru yes me too
💐💐💐💐💐You’re my hero...... I love your strength and energy.... you’re one of the people that really inspire me. You got my attention when I watched Jane Fonda in 5 acts. Thank you for being such a strong woman!!! Loads of love. I do hope you’ll read my comment. 💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐💐
Thank you!! Thank you!! Inspirational and powerful 😍👏👏👏🙌
Dear Lady Jane, you are the best example of someone who has had all the beauty and fame and yet grown into the third act with grace and wisdom and dignity..I am in my fifties now and didn't know how to describe this new life period, I feel like Picasso said growing younger and stronger in mind..but also feel I have so much to offer which I also do just around me..understanding now that I don't have to be confused but just know ok, I am in my third act..thank you, you are such a beautiful being
I appreciate your point of view
What an astounding, brilliant, beautiful human being.... my my my....
What a great president for USA she would be!!!
Jane, you are truly an inspiration to many women.
Hi Joann hope you're okay?
@@dannyhuffman I’m fine, thank you
@@joanncanete7904 you’re welcome it’s my pleasure meeting you, by the way how is the weather over there now??
God bless Jane Fonda. Always learning and growing. That, for me, is why we are here...what Life is all about. Go Jane!
Jane Fonda really is a gift to humanity!
mtbruss, It"s doubtful that many US Vets would agree with that.
Regardless of one's 'reality', happiness IS a choice. It's sounds cheeky and cliche but it really is what is possible. All the best to you . . .
Beautiful speech! Thanks a lot! Thanks to Jane Fonda, and to TEDx Talks, and to CZcams.
Brilliant woman. Well done, Jane. Thank you.
Wow this is everything I needed to hear at just the right time...I'm not quite in my 3rd act but always believed reflection is the key....go Jane x
Hi Stephanie hope you're okay?
Thank you Jane Fonda 💕
Hi Kerry hope you're okay?
Jane F. Thank You for shining so bright for the rest of us!
Shame on you!!!!!
Love it..so wise and inspirational. :)
I really admire Jane Fonda and I'm only in my 20s. She is an awesome role model for women of all ages!
She looks absolutely fantastic... and she is so articulate and intelligent - not that the too are mutually exclusive....
The makeup is good and the frames are a good camouflage but don't you think the wig is too far forward?
She does look good, but I just wish it was placed a little further back. I found that a bit of a distraction.
Is it a wig?????
Cc OB NOT a wig.
Brian Eduardo
I love her! She did finally decide to get another facelift in her 70's.
Hey, I would do it if I could.
Great message. Very real.

Very inspirational!
well done!

Спастбо за чудесное видео Джейн Фонде, боль иногда вспоминается и приходит с теми мыслями что я могла все сделать как надо и сохранить правду жизни но надо стремиться и идти дальше
Amazing how she kept her looks..
She's had cosmetic surgery.
Jane é o máximo😍😍😍
Jane a woman of depth , wisdom , strength and I believe a big heart . Always curious and learning and never dull . Impossible to not just love you , for all your fame you have a fragile self consciousness that comes through that makes you endearing . Not sure how you are able to rub shoulders with all the pretension in Hollywood. I’ve heard you’ve become Christian . I hope it’s the one true Christ who is the sovereign God ,Creator and Savior you’re having a relationship with. He that died for all of us was buried and rose again. My heart would burst with joy if this were true. Thank you for doing something you don’t have to do , sharing wisdom and encouraging others.
Well-spoken. This was a very timely video to come up on my feed.
Thanks for sharing , Jane you are a wise woman 💖
She is such a brilliant speaker
