The actress is having a moment, with two movies, a hit Netflix show, and, this May, an HBO documentary about her life. On the heels of Fonda’s 80th birthday, longtime friend and biographer PATRICIA BOSWORTH marks the star’s special place—artistic and political—in the firmament
I’m on my way to a storage bin,” Jane‘ Fonda laughs, in a rush. It’s early morning in Hollywood. And Fonda likes to get up at the crack of dawn. She’s looking for a few odds and ends as she decorates her new house in L.A. “[It has] an elevator and no his-and-her bathrooms,” she explains. “Just hers. I’m living by myself again and I love it. I have my health and my work.” She adds, “I never expected an old fart like me could last so long or be so lucky.”

Another Country- Searching for James Baldwin in the South of France
Since James Baldwin's death nearly 40 years ago, the literary lion's final home, in the South of France, has drawn a procession of acolytes to the Provençal community of Saint-Paul de Vence, where he spent the last 17 years of his life.The 300-year-old villa in which he resided no longer exists: By 2019 developers had converted the site into a luxury apartment complex. But that hasn't deterred generations of admirers, inflamed and enlightened by Baldwin's prose, from making a pilgrimage. Including me. Seizing the occasion of the writer's centennial year, I paid a visit in April. My first stop was a table at a Baldwin hangout, the Café de la Place on Place du Général de Gaulle, for a croque monsieur and a double espresso.
