Jane Fonda Visit

Michael Jackson, “Rock & Soul” magazine (October 1983)

Jane Fonda is my friend. I realized how much we had come to like each other the night her father Henry died. I called her up to try and say something consoling, and she asked me if I'd like to come over and hang out with the family and friends. There was a time in my life that I could never have done that. But I went there and it was a very special evening.

August 20, 1982 Interview:

Michael Jackson: The night that Henry Fonda died, I went over there and I was with the family. They were talking and watching all the different news pieces. Although her father died, Jane was still able to show an interest in my career, asking me have I gotten the film yet, and I thought that was very sweet. I think that they had been expecting him to die for so long. Months and months and months ago she was talking as though it was going to be any day. It happened and there were tears sometimes and laughter sometimes and they ate a little.
