It was her July 1972 trip to Hanoi in particular, when a now-iconic and misunderstood image of her sitting on an anti-aircraft gun surfaced, that earned her the name “Hanoi Jane,” and led critics to call her a traitor to her own country.Personal products and non-commercial presentations

Although she did not say she regretted the trip itself, which earned her the nickname Hanoi Jane, she did tell the Television Critics Association’s Summer. The talk show host then fired back at Fonda by harkening back to her earliest days as a celebrity activist, when she engaged in protests against the Vietnam War and other causes. Actress Jane Fonda has issued a new apology for one of the most infamous aspects of her 1972 trip to North Vietnam during the Vietnam War. Nor am I in the market for a lesson for Jane Fonda on what is and what is not appropriate.” But I have no regrets about that question. “Look, I gave her the chance to empower other women, young and old, on a subject she purports to know well, and she rejected it,” Kelly said. To this, Kelly noted that it seemed odd that she was ridiculed for asking a question Fonda had seemingly so readily responded to in previous interviews.

On Monday, Kelly fired back at Fonda, calling her out for what she dubbed the “poor-me routine.” It showed that she’s not that good an interviewer.” The Jane Fonda in Five Acts star told Variety in an interview published Saturday that she was “stunned” by the question, and thought it was “so inappropriate. At that time, over 60,000 American soldiers had lost their lives, and almost one million Vietnamese. In July of 1972, she made two trips to Hanoi which earned her the nickname Hanoi Jane. At the time, Fonda looked offended by the question, and responded with a dismissive, “We really want to talk about that right now?” Daughter of legendary Henry Fonda, actress, and activist was one of the most outspoken people against the Vietnam War at the age of 34. Last September, Kelly asked Fonda, who was a guest on her show along with Robert Redford promoting their new film Our Souls At Night, about what she thought about plastic surgery. Megyn Kelly stood by her decision to ask Jane Fonda about her plastic surgery during a segment of her show Monday, bitingly reminding her audience that the Oscar-winning actress and activist’s name is “synonymous with outrage.”
