Editing Jane Fonda (section)

===Health===
As a child, Fonda suffered from a poor self-image and lacked confidence in her appearance, an issue exacerbated by her father [[Henry Fonda]]. About that, Fonda said:
<blockquote>I was raised in the '50s. I was taught by my father [actor Henry Fonda] that how I looked was all that mattered, frankly. He was a good man, and I was mad for him, but he sent messages to me that fathers should not send: Unless you look perfect, you're not going to be loved.</blockquote>In another interview with [[Oprah Winfrey]], Fonda confessed, after years of struggling with her self-image, "It took me a long long time to realize we're not meant to be perfect, we're meant to be whole."<ref>{{Cite AV media|date=January 8, 2012|title=Jane Fonda on Perfection {{!}} Oprah's Master Class {{!}} Oprah Winfrey Network|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4AnHAwHQB4|access-date=February 25, 2021|via=YouTube|archive-date=March 19, 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220319122411/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A4AnHAwHQB4|url-status=live}}</ref> In adulthood, Fonda developed [[bulimia]], which took a toll on her quality of life for many years, an issue that also affected her mother [[Frances Ford Seymour]], who died by suicide when Fonda was 12. On the subject of her recovery from bulimia, Fonda said,

<blockquote>It was in my 40s, and if you suffer from bulimia, the older you get, the worse it gets. It takes longer to recover from a bout ... I had a career, I was winning awards, I was supporting nonprofits, I had a family. I had to make a choice: I live or I die.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.everydayhealth.com/eating-disorders/0809/jane-fonda-opens-up-about-her-decades-long-battle-with-bulimia.aspx|title=Jane Fonda Opens Up About Her Decades-Long Battle with Bulimia|work=Every Day Health|date=October 9, 2011|access-date=January 25, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170205153031/http://www.everydayhealth.com/eating-disorders/0809/jane-fonda-opens-up-about-her-decades-long-battle-with-bulimia.aspx|archive-date=February 5, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.lennyletter.com/politics/news/a311/my-convoluted-journey-to-feminism|title=My Convoluted Journey to Feminism|work=Lenny Letter|date=March 23, 2016|access-date=May 18, 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170406055257/http://www.lennyletter.com/politics/news/a311/my-convoluted-journey-to-feminism/|archive-date=April 6, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref></blockquote>
