Jane says Vadim
liked his chili 3-ways

Before she was Hanoi Jane, she
was Threesome Jane.
Actress
and aerobics queen Jane Fonda says in a "60 Minutes" interview set to
air Sunday that she engaged
in threesomes with hookers and strangers to satisfy her first husband,
French film director Roger Vadim.
"It was the '60s and whatever," Fonda said.
The
racy revelations come in an interview during which Fonda again regrets
posing for a photo at the controls of
an anti-aircraft gun used to target American pilots. The 1972 image
earned her the nickname "Hanoi Jane" and decades of scorn.
"The
image of Jane Fonda, Barbarella, Henry Fonda's daughter...sitting on an
enemy aircraft gun was a betrayal," Fonda said.
"The largest lapse of judgment I can imagine."
But as the autobiography "Jane Fonda: My Life So Far" hits stores, the 67-year-old Hollywood icon still is marked by her long-ago actions.
"Some
things can never be forgiven," said Joe Davis, a spokesman for the
Veterans of Foreign Wars, which has more
than 2 million members. "Jane Fonda falls into that category."
In the interview with Lesley Stahl, Fonda also opened up about her sex life with Vadim, a Frenchman who pressed her for threesomes.
"I know one thing: It really hurt me...and it reinforced my feeling I wasn't good enough," she said.
The
thrice-divorced Fonda - she later married politician Tom Hayden and
media mogul Ted Turner - admits she dialed up
call girls who could bring a little spice - and a third warm body - to
her and Vadim's bed.
The
pay-for-pleasure sessions had one upside for Fonda, who said she took
what she learned from the call girls into her role
as a prostitute in the 1971
movie "Klute." The role earned Fonda an Academy Award.
