I've long suspected Megyn Kelly is a closeted lez, and after recently seeing her two husbands, I'm fairly sure she is. Not that this is any excuse for her being an asshole, but I'm spitballing that she may be incredibly sexually frustrated, since both of her husband's looked gay. Maybe I should go on her show and ask her if she's secretly gay, that would be about as appropriate as asking Jane Fonda about her face.

The Pentagon Papers make her a hero.

How many times does Fonda have to talk about her damned cosmetic surgery? (She's a lot more open about the procedures and her reasons for getting them than some people one could mention.) J.F. has integrity and good politics--oh, yes, and talent--and Kelly should be grateful to be in the same effing room with her.

Look up "They Shoot Horses, Don't They?" and "Klute" and any of her movies from around that time; Jane was compared, rightly, to Bette Davis. She can do comedy as well. (My late mama, who used to see Henry Fonda around town when she was a young working woman, would tear up at the sight of Jane, because she was so like her gorgeous dad.) Gives away a lot of money, too: https://www.insidephilanthr...

Nouveau biche.

I can get how she'd think she'd be good at it, because her entire career has shown an outstanding lack of self awareness. But how anyone else who's seen her show thought she'd be good is an open question.

Thanks, $5F. Had I been wealthy, famous, and older back then, they'd have called me Hanoi Zyxomma, I suppose. I'm glad I'm almost completely unfamiliar with Megyn Kelly. Do you think the weird spelling means "I'm a girl?" (Me+Gyn)

ETA: I saw something funny Jane F posted, and looked for it. I thought it was on Twitter, and failed to find it. Apparently, it was Instagram (to which I don't belong). Here it is: https://www.mirror.co.uk/3a...

Looks like she's already had work done.

Actually, she was NOT asking if Fonda had had work done, she was confirming that Fonda had said she "wasn't proud of it," which I took to mean, "I wish I didn't have to be vain/go under the knife to keep working at my age."

So well said, moth. Perfect.

My enemies are the villains who got us into Vietnam, and thus Jane Fonda is my ally.

So sad. We had hopes for Megyn Kelly. They were misplaced.

Soooooooooo, you know we get a lot of Russian trolls and bots here right? If you want to sell something to Americans, the first step is to get someone to localize your sales pitch. Google Translate is not the same thing.
