Fonda told her fans that she’s been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, but added she’s not giving up yet because “80% of people survive” this illness. She’ll be undergoing chemo for the next six months and she’s handling the treatments quite well.

“Cancer is a teacher and I’m paying attention to the lessons it holds for me. One thing it’s shown me already is the importance of community… The cancer, along with my age – almost 85 – definitely teaches the importance of adapting to new realities,” wrote Fonda on social media.

The Oscar-winning actress also reflected on her privileged position, acknowledging the fact that she has access to the best doctors and treatments that most other people in America don’t have. She also stressed the importance of eliminating harmful chemicals that can lead to cancer, such as fossil fuels, adding she won’t let her diagnosis interfere with her climate activism.

Fonda bid farewell to Netflix’s long-running series Grace and Frankie earlier this year and finished several projects before revealing her diagnosis. Her upcoming films Moving On, Book Club 2: The Next Chapter, and Eighty for Brady have all entered post-production.

Written and directed by the Oscar-nominee Paul Weitz, this project centers on two old friends who reconnect at a funeral and decide to exact revenge on the widower who wronged them decades before.

We won’t have to wait for too long to see it since the production is set to kick off this fall in Los Angeles. The film is also set to star Malcolm McDowell and Richard Roundtree, while the rest of the cast is yet to be announced.

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda were no strangers to working with each other long before this project rolled around. They first joined forces on the iconic 80s comedy 9 to 5 and have stayed friends ever since. They currently star in the first episodes of season 7 of Grace & Frankie, which is airing on Netflix.

This life-achievement award is reserved for individuals who have made a lasting impact on the film industry. The HFPA president Ali Sar said Fonda is a worthy recipient thanks to her undeniable talent and unwavering commitment to evoking change.

“For more than five decades, Jane’s breadth of work has been anchored in her unrelenting activism, using her platform to address some of the most important social issues of our time,” said Sar in an official statement.

Jane Fonda is no stranger to winning Golden Globes awards—she took home seven awards in the past, and her most recent nomination came in 2015 when she received a nod for her supporting performance in Youth. Fonda is also a recipient of two Oscars for her performances in Klute and Coming Home.

Fonda currently stars in Netflix’s Grace and Frankie, and she’s expected to start filming its final season later this year. Her most recent movie roles include romantic comedy Book Club and Netflix drama Our Souls at Night.

The news of its cancelation came with a silver lining – after a 16-episode order for its final season, Grace and Frankie became Netflix original with the most episodes, breaking the record previously held by Orange Is the New Black.

Netflix’s vice president of original series, Cindy Holland, bid farewell to Grace and Frankie in an official statement and praised this show for shining the light on the issues no other program explored with so much humor, understanding, and grace.

“Since its premiere in 2015, Grace and Frankie has expertly and hilariously demystified the experience of growing older and given a voice to the fastest-growing segment of our population. Jane, Lily, Sam, and Martin have become role models for fans that span generations around the world, and we are so proud to have been a part of the show’s journey from day one,” said Holland.

Grace And Frankie follows two women whose lives are turned upside down when their husbands decide to leave them because they’re in love. Despite their many differences, the two women somehow manage to find comfort in each other and form an unusual friendship.

This series stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, whose careers blossomed again after they accepted the titular roles. Hollywood usually isn’t kind to actors their age, and Fonda said she really enjoys having a regular job at the age of 81 – especially since she gets to do it with Tomlin.

“I keep pinching myself. I just love having a steady job—going through those studio gates every day is so great… I feel guilty that it is so much fun. I am having so much fun that it is hard to even call it work. I love Lily. I deeply admire her. I go to work every day with a genius,” said Fonda.

Actor’s dad Kirk Douglas was one of the people attending the ceremony, and he grew pretty emotional while addressing him. He also gave shout-outs to wife Catherine Zeta-Jones and son Cameron, but his tribute to the 101-year-old acting legend proved to be the most touching part.

“It means so much to me that you’re here today. Thank you for your advice, inspiration, and I’ll say it simply and with all my heart: I’m so proud to be your son,” said Michael Douglas.

One of the people in attendance was actor’s friend and colleague Jane Fonda, who met him on the set of The China Syndrome. She paid him a tribute during the ceremony and said it’s surprising it took him so long to get the star since he was always ahead of his time.

“If you had told me when I was 20 or 30 that I would actually still be acting, still active at 80 on a show like this, I would have said, ‘You’re out of your mind. There’s no way,'” said Fonda during her appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show on Friday. “No, I didn’t think I’d live this long. Every day I get up, and I want to pinch myself. I feel very blessed, but I’ve worked for it.”

The actress then proceeded on to explain exactly what she was thinking will happen to her when she was young.

“I thought I’d die lonely and probably from alcohol or something like that,” she explained. “The fact that I’m not an addict, and I’m 80 and I’m working—it’s just a miracle to me.”
