Jane Fonda can look back on many well-known admirers. Today she mourns the spurned Marvin Gaye the most.
Jane Fonda has spent 60 of her 82 years in front of the camera or in the spotlight. The sex symbol of the 60s and 70s has now demonstrated in a detailed interview with the "New York Times" that her busy life is rich in anecdotes. In it, the two-time Oscar winner also revealed her greatest regrets about her love life.
Many years ago, Fonda is said to have loudly stated that she regretted never having sex with the Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara (1927-1967). When asked about this, she now corrects her statement from then: "No, I don't think about him anymore. Who I think of instead and what I deeply regret is Marvin Gaye. He wanted it and I didn't. I was with Tom (Hayden , Editor's note) married. "
He had his eye on her
The American soul and R&B musician Marvin Gaye apparently fell head over heels in love with the blonde: "I read that he apparently had a picture of me on his fridge. I only found out later, after he was dead. " Gaye died in 1984, the day before his 45th birthday, from a gunshot wound inflicted by his own father.
Fonda also had brief, not exactly flattering words about her former co-star Marlon Brando (1924-2004). Although he was a "great actor", he was a "disappointment" in human terms. The two were seen together in the 1966 western "A man is hunted".
