ReplyMarch 26, 2020 at 4:29 pm #1203395979Why’d Jane Fonda beat Jill Clayburgh? I always found Fonda a little tense in Coming Home. (thought she was excelent and totally deserving in Klute though)
“Coming Home” was a movie that generally disappointed me when I finally saw it. Except for Bruce Dern’s performance I find the whole thing pretty damn phony and that goes double for Jane Fonda’s performance. Her hair getting frizzier over the course of the film does a lot of the work for her.
P.S. I also lover her performance in “Klute” and think it amongst the very top few best actress winning performances.
P.P.S. Jane Fonda also does a whole lotta nothing in “Julia” which is an even worse film than “Coming Home”.
