Jane Fonda Set for CONVERSATIONS WITH COCO at L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center Tonight

For the seventh installment of the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's ongoing series, Conversations With Coco, Miss Coco Peru's series of live, unscripted interviews with celebrated performing artists, the L.A. drag legend welcomes the legendary actress Jane Fonda to the Center's Renberg Theatre. Like her previous get-togethers with Lily Tomlin, Lainie Kazan, Charles Busch, Lesley Ann Warren, Karen Black and the late Bea Arthur, Miss Coco has prepared a multi-media presentation featuring highlights of Ms. Fonda's storied career, as well as ample opportunity for the kind of casual yet in-depth conversation audiences have come to relish at Coco's table.

Blending fascinating discussion, revealing stories and a multi-media survey of her guests' careers, Conversations With Coco have proven to be among the Lily Tomlin/Jane Wagner Cultural Arts Center's most popular offerings. "In case you don't know," says Miss Coco, "Conversations With Coco is sort of like Inside The Actors Studio, only it's much more fun, and I'm prettier than James Lipton-sort of."

Conversations With Coco, with special guest Jane Fonda, is set for tonight, April 20, at 8 p.m. at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's Renberg Theatre (200-seat capacity), located at The Village at Ed Gould Plaza, 1125 N.
