Jane Fonda, the 85-year-old famous Hollywood star, has had the honor of knowing many actors and artists during her career.
Lately, she decided to reflect on her experience with the iconic Michael Jackson.
Their paths crossed on the set of the movie “On Golden Pond,” in which Jane Fonda acted alongside her father, Henry Fonda.
The young Michael Jackson and the splendid actress Katharine Hepburn were also part of the film.
Surprisingly, Michael Jackson was only 22 years old at the time, already showing a deep love for the film industry.
Jane Fonda remembers how Michael Jackson was eager to learn more about the film industry and always approached her to seek advice.
However, it was Katharine Hepburn who genuinely captivated the young superstar.
Initially, Hepburn had prejudices due to Jackson’s skin color, but as she got to know him better, her opinion changed.
Recognizing his immense talent, Hepburn would have him sit down and share hours of instructive stories, which Michael absorbed like a sponge.
She advised him to always stay hungry and to maintain depth in his work.
During their time together on the movie set, Jane Fonda couldn’t resist sharing a special and slightly provocative event involving Michael Jackson.
On a beautiful moonlit night, the young Jackson suggested taking a swim in the lake. Without hesitation, he undressed in front of Fonda, who remembers him as a very thin person.
Fonda speculates that deep down, Jackson had a premonition that he would have a short life and perhaps expected that she would eventually reveal this juicy story to the public.
