Jane Fonda Not Afraid Of Dying, 'Oprah' Interview Reveal After Cancer Scare [VIDEO]
During an interview for Oprah’s Next Chapter, Jane Fonda said she has learned from her past experiences with cancer to appreciate life and not be afraid of death.
The two-time Academy Award winner found out she had cancer when a small tumor was discovered during a routine checkup back in 2010.
"[I thought], you know, maybe I'll make it and maybe I won't. I didn't get scared," she said in the interview with Winfrey, which aired on Sunday. "I hope I don't die. But I'm not scared of dying."
But the cancer was non-invasive and the following November, Fonda underwent a lumpectomy and made a full recovery.
“[It] was a good test, because I always said I'm not afraid of dying. And I wasn't," she added. "I mean, I felt, God, I've just joined a family of millions of women who have gone through this. And how interesting. What a journey this is going to be.”
Fonda has been nominated for seven Academy Awards and won twice. She received the award for Best Actress in a Leading Role in 1971 for Klute. She then won an award in 1978 for her lead role in Come Home.
The actress will be playing in the upcoming films Better Living Through Chemistry, The Butler and This is Where I Leave You, according to IMDb.
