Jane, who turned 71 this year, started blogging at JaneFonda.com and using Twitter (@janefonda) on January 5th has already gained a following from fans who enjoy her authentic and honest approach to writing. As a new and passionate blogger, she has even blogged in between acts backstage from her "33 Variations" dressing room. On February 9th she states, " We're half way through the second act. I have a 15 minute break between my scenes and I can't resist telling you how much the audience seems to be loving the play."

When asked about why she started blogging Fonda replied, "It was the beginning of the year and I met a tech person in Atlanta {James Andrews} who persuaded me to do this and I thought well I'm about to start this play it would be interesting to take people through this process and it turns out I'm enjoying it a lot."
