FOREVER
JANE Icon Jane Fonda continues to defy age.
At 87 and no signs of stopping, she is committed to self improvement and accepts responsibility for her past mistakes. And she adamantly encourages other women on the far side of middle age to stay both active and fashionable in order to live their best lives. “We are, after all, the fastest-growing demographic in the world,” says the eternally youthful icon. I am so in awe of Jane and everything she has accomplished in her life.
