Jane Fonda, like many celebs, has lived some of her personal conflicts in the public eye. I do not envy her that! She's also noted in the past that her body self-image was a problem from the start -- she had an eating disorder. I don't think being cast for one's looks helped that situation.
As noted, when one's appearance is part of the reason for one's fame, it's no doubt tougher than ever to sort out the issues.
Yes, Mary, and two very beautiful faces, indeed. I found this interview with Jane Fonda very interesting. I liked what she said about deciding on the plastic surgery to look more as she felt. I believe this is important, to see the reflection of how you feel. Unfortunately, we not always can achieve this, and then we can feel trapped in our own body.
This whole issue comes with emotional and psychological issues, too, and I sense from some of her thoughts. See how her body lanaguage changes, and becomes on guard when she talks about here father.
I would like to read her book, and see what she says about how to do a life review. I have been thinking of how useful would it be to do a life review every five years.
True, Susan. But interestingly, I heard a couple of years back that Jane Fonda mentioned having "had work done" about 20 years ago, then decided against having more later, because she knew that if she did "she would never work again."
Presumably, the reason was that plastic surgery would make her unrecognizable as her original self.
It's happened: Meg Ryan being the best example. Once she overhauled her face, her career tanked.
All true, Susan. But in many instances, perfectly fine-looking people jump into plastic surgery based on a distorted self image. How many times have we seen a public figure with a changed face and longed just to see an older version of someone recognizable?
Thankfully, most average-looking folk don't have that much risk when it comes to extreme measures; but in entertainment, there must be incredible pressure to stay young, and the temptation to get operated on must be pretty strong. The key I suppose is to avoid anything extreme. Just a little bit of botox for the famous; maybe a tiny face lift.
"And I'm not sure society is always to blame. We all have a responsiblity to ourselves to resist the urge to cling to youth no matter what."
Yes, but it also hurts deeply when someone tells you you are old and ugly based on appearance. It leaves a scar in your heart and soul. Who is to tell what beauty is? Who is broadcasting the models of what we should consider as beautiful?
Excellent business advice. There's a certain judge on a reality talent show I don't watch that really should lay off the stuff. She looks insincere and over compensates by wildly yelling when someone does really well on the show.

Recently, the Obama administration has been of two minds where privacy rights are concerned. On one hand, you have an administration that vowed to veto CISPA and mandated open data for government websites. On the other hand, you have an increasingly out-of-control Department of Justice on a fishing expedition at AP and demanding legislation to let the FBI wiretap private, encrypted communications and levy fines if a company fails to comply.
The apartment and house sharing service, Airbnb, now requires members to verify their identities by demonstrating a presence on the web, and by either scanning a government ID or entering detailed personal details. Other enterprises should take a close look at Airbnb's verification policies.
Facebook advertising is a lightning rod. It seems neither brands nor consumers are 100 percent happy about the social media site's policies, placement, or procedures. But the real controversy about Facebook ads and promotions is over whether they work.
By now, you've most likely heard about the 3D-printed gun that Texas-based Defense Distributed demonstrated last week. But we haven't heard the last about the censorship war that began soon afterward.
New York's Metropolitan Transit Authority is conducting a pilot test of digital kiosks to guide subway users to where they want to go more efficiently and at lower cost.
The whole Amazon.reader debate is a double-stupid. It's stupid to think that there's any e-book buyer who doesn't know Amazon's URL, and it was stupider to let ICANN launch the whole free-form TLD initiative to start with.
While NFC's original goal was to enhance mobile commerce applications, it is finding its way into a number of other uses, which is creating both opportunity as well as challenges for IT departments.

Subsidized handsets, rather than locked handsets, should be the focus of regulators. We're not getting good deals, not fostering innovation, and weakening our power as buyers.
