Jane Fonda's Life Has Been Full of Wild, Whirlwind Love

In August 1965, Fonda married her first husband, prominent French film director Roger Vadim, per the Washington Post. They tied the knot in a small ceremony at the Dunes Hotel in Las Vegas. At the time, Fonda was 28; Vadim was 10 years her senior and known for being a womanizer (Fonda was actually his third wife).

By the time he married Fonda — who moved to Paris in the hopes of pivoting her reputation as the "girl next door" to more serious, sexier roles — he had already had previous romances with other beautiful actors like Brigitte Bardot and Cindy Pickett. He shared a son with French screen siren Catherine Deneuve, and a daughter, Nathalie, from a previous marriage with Danish actor Annette Stroyberg. Nathalie and Fonda formed a sweet bond, and the then-teenager considered her a strong mother figure.

One of Fonda's most high-profile roles is the sexy space traveler Barbarella in the 1968 cult classic of the same name. Based on a French comic series, "Barbarella" sent Fonda into '60s bombshell territory. The science-fiction flick was directed by Vadim, and in her 2005 autobiography, "My Life So Far," Fonda revealed how tense things got for them on the set. Vadim began drinking heavily during filming, and "his decisions about how to shoot scenes often seemed ill-considered." At the time, Fonda was also struggling with bulimia, and as "a young woman who hated her body . . . playing a scantily clad, sometimes-naked sexual heroine," she was insecure about her appearance during production and photo shoots.

In September 1968, the couple welcomed a daughter, Vanessa, who was named after the legendary actor and activist Vanessa Redgrave. The couple divorced in 1973. Vadim died of cancer in 2000, and Fonda — along with fellow ex-wives Bardot, Catherine Schneider, and Stroyberg — was in attendance at his funeral.

On Jan. 19, 1973, three days after officially divorcing Vadim, Fonda married antiwar activist and politician Tom Hayden in a casual ceremony at her home in LA. She was pregnant at the time, and that July, their son was born. The couple named their baby boy Troy O'Donovan Garity, after Viet Cong bomber Nguyen Van Troi and Irish revolutionary Jeremiah O'Donovan Rossa. They gave him his paternal grandmother's maiden name, Garity, as "Fonda and Hayden carried too much baggage," the actor wrote in her book.

Together, Fonda and Hayden — along with a young Troy and Fonda's daughter, Vanessa — traveled the country, championing civil rights and antiwar causes, and they founded the Indochina Peace Campaign. Fonda also made a slightly controversial visit to North Vietnam and Hanoi in 1972.

The couple eventually settled down in Santa Monica and even opened a summer camp for disadvantaged kids on a ranch in Santa Barbara, CA. It was there that the couple met Mary Luana Williams (known as Lulu), the daughter of Black Panther members. In 1982, they invited 14-year-old Lulu to live with them and adopted her, per Huffington Post.

Despite their happy blended family, the pair got divorced in June 1990. Troy is now a famous actor himself, with roles in "Soldier's Girl," "Bandits," the Barbershop films, and "Ballers." Hayden died in 2016 at the age of 76, per USA Today.

Fonda shocked damn near everybody when she began dating billionaire TV tycoon and CNN founder Ted Turner. The two were married at a ranch in Florida on Fonda's birthday, Dec. 21, 1991. She was given away by her son, Troy, who was 18 at the time.

The couple were married for 10 years before their divorce in May 2001. They have both opened up about the reasons for their split, with Fonda calling out Turner's need for constant attention. "He needs someone to be there 100 percent of the time," she told the New Yorker that year (via TV Guide). "He thinks that's love. It is not love. It's babysitting. We went in different directions. I grew up."

The two have remained close friends and have continued to meet up with their families and attend events together. During one scene in her HBO documentary, while visiting Turner at his ranch in Montana, Fonda calls him her "favorite ex-husband."
