As Hollywood mourns the loss of legendary actor Robert Redford, actress Jane Fonda expresses a particularly deep sorrow. Their long-standing friendship and on-screen partnership spanned over five decades, from Barefoot in the Park to their last film together, Our Souls at Night.
Fonda revealed how much Redford meant to her, sharing heartfelt memories and candid emotions. On Instagram, she posted a photo from the set of Our Souls at Night, reflecting on decades of joy, laughter, and their close bond. “I fell madly in love with him” during their first film, Barefoot in the Park.
Despite their deep affection on and off screen, Fonda confessed one regret about their final film: their love scene felt too short. “I’m happy with the love scene. I’m unhappy because it was so short!” she joked.
Fonda also reminisced about how Redford’s charm would often make her forget her lines during intimate scenes. “I live for sex scenes with [Redford],” she said with a laugh.
Their affectionate relationship was marked by a unique chemistry on-screen, with Fonda admitting she “fell in love with him every time” they worked together.
Robert Redford in return praised Fonda as “a force” and admired her spirit and talent.
As fans reflect on Redford’s legacy, Fonda’s raw honesty offers a moving glimpse into one of Hollywood’s most iconic partnerships, marked not just by talent but mutual respect, love, and unforgettable moments.
