Like it or not, Jane Fonda, as political activist, helped stop the Viet Nam War. Whether she thwarted our winning is of a lesser priority than her goal to stop the killing. Many vets remain purists and hate the fact that her intervention that led to her nickname 'Hanoi Jane' made them look bad, when they were there to fight and believed in what they had been trained to do. Before Fonda and Robert DeNiro were to start filming Stanley and Iris in Connecticut in 1988, 13 years after the war ended, a contingent of veterans opposed her working there, and in true renegade spirit Fonda met with them for what turned out to be an embittered discussion at an Episcopal Church in Waterbury on June 18 of that year. With fictional dialogue by Terry Jastrow and backed by actual screen footage of Fonda and news coverage of the period, Jastrow's play Jane Fonda in the Court of Public Opinion becomes riveting drama at the Edgemar Center for the Arts. Riveting due to tight direction from Terry Jastrow, his script that presents both sides of the argument evenly... and a dynamite ensemble of actors led by Anne Archer as Fonda.

According to the U.K. Times and other published reports, the1987 film Fatal Attraction, which famously starred Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, is being adapted for the London stage by writer Hames Dearden and is being primed for a West End run as early as the end of 2010. Dearden, who also wrote the original screenplay, will set the romance thriller in the present and there is talk that the Glenn Close character, 'Alex' may live in the end of this latest incarnation. It is expected that the stage version may be all-around less violent. However, the infamous 'rabbit scene' will remain, as Dearden tells the U.K.'s Sunday Times: 'Without it the audience might demand their money back.' The play is being produced by Robert Fox.
