Where to Stream Jane Fonda's Most Popular Movies
Whether you're in the mood for something sci-fi, something dramatic, or something hilarious, there's a Jane Fonda movie that fits the bill. The iconic actor and activist has appeared in dozens of films over her decades-long career, but if you're just beginning your journey into the FondaVerse—or simply looking for your next great movie night—these are her most popular movies. Here's where to stream them right now:
On Golden Pond (1981)What it's about: Fonda stars alongside her real-life dad, Henry Fonda, and Katharine Hepburn in this drama about a semi-estranged family reuniting on the titular pond. Anyone who has dealt with an aging parent will connect with this story of difficult love.
Where to watch: Stream now on HBOMax.
Barefoot in the Park (1967)What it's about: A touchstone of the hippie generation, this romantic comedy follows a carefree flower child (Fonda) and a conservative lawyer (Robert Redford) as they try to make their marriage work. Sort of a lighter, happier The Way We Were.
Where to watch: Stream now on Amazon Prime.
Barbarella (1968)What it's about: This campy sci-fi flick is a little hard to explain and probably more fun to watch the less you know going in. But suffice it to say Fonda plays a sexy space babe who saves the galaxy. Directed by her then-husband Roger Vadim.
Where to watch: Stream now on Amazon Prime.
9 to 5 (1980)What it's about: Fonda, Dolly Parton, and Lily Tomlin (now Fonda's costar on Grace and Frankie) play working women who decide to get revenge on their sexist boss by any means necessary. Yes, it's what the song is from!
Where to watch: Stream now on Hulu.
Monster-in-Law (2005)What it's about: As an overbearing mom threatened by her son's new girlfriend, Fonda battles it out with Jennifer Lopez in this silly romantic comedy that's probably a little too relatable to some of us who don't exactly gel with our significant other's parents.
Where to watch: Rent now on Vudu.
Happy viewing, Jane Fonda fans!
