Megyn Kelly discusses Jane Fonda's own challenging origins, including her mother's suicide and a distant relationship with her father, Henry Fonda. She notes that Fonda's role in 'On Golden Pond' was deeply biographical, reflecting her own experiences. Kelly highlights Fonda's transformation from a Hollywood star to an aerobics guru, maintaining a remarkable physique.
