‘Hanoi Jane’ Lashes Out At Fellow Actress For Taking Hostage The Memories Of Dead Actor Crush

Jane Fonda, known as much for hopping on an enemy tank during the Vietnam War than any movie she’s made, is aiming her guns now at Barbra Streisand.

Anti-war activist Fonda is sulking that Streisand hogged all her time eulogizing Robert Redford at Sunday’s Oscars.

“I wanna know how come Streisand was up there doing that for Redford?” Jane quipped to Entertainment Tonight on the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscars Party. “She only made one movie with him, I made four. I have more to say.”

Streisand’s eulogy for Redford, who died in September at 89, is being panned by others besides Hanoi Jane.

Other Oscar attendees reportedly are complaining that Babs made the farewell all about her rather than handsome Bob.

After her long eulogy, Babs sang a few bars from her iconic song “The Way We Were,” from the title of the film they made together.

Hanoi Jane starred alongside Bob in The Chase, Barefoot in the Park, The Electric Horseman and Our Souls at Night.

Jane and Bob, with whom she was in lust, were alike in spouting their liberal spewdom.

“He stood for an America we have to keep fighting for,” said the multi-millionaire Hollywood celeb who’s never had to fight for a thing in her life.

The biggest fight in Jane Fonda’s life has been her decades-long defense of her controversial hopping on a Viet Cong tank during the Vietnam War for a publicity stunt.

Military families across the U.S. who lost 60,000 relatives fighting in Vietnam have never forgiven her.

They still call her “Hanoi Jane” for her unpatriotic, stinging, hurtful stunt.

Fonda was forever branded with the derisive nickname after she was photographed seated on a North Vietnamese anti-aircraft gun during a war protest in 1972.

“If I was used, I allowed it to happen – a two-minute lapse of sanity that will haunt me forever,” she later wrote. “But the photo exists, delivering its message regardless of what I was doing or feeling.

“I carry this heavy in my heart,” Fonda added. “I have apologized numerous times for any pain I may have caused servicemen and their families because of this photograph. It was never my intention to cause harm.”
