Page "Jane Fonda" Paragraph 12

Through her production company, IPC Films, she produced films that helped return her to star status.

The 1977 comedy film Fun With Dick and Jane is generally considered her " comeback " picture.

She also received positive reviews, BAFTA and Golden Globe Awards for Best Actress, and an Oscar nomination for her portrayal of the playwright Lillian Hellman in the 1977 film Julia.

During this period, Fonda announced that she would make only films that focused on important issues, and she generally stuck to her word.

She turned down An Unmarried Woman because she felt the part was not relevant.

She followed with popular and successful films such as The China Syndrome ( 1979 ), about a cover-up of an accident in a nuclear power plant ; and The Electric Horseman ( 1979 ) with her previous co-star, Robert Redford.
