Robert Redford, Jane Fonda’s on-screen companion for four films, “did not like to kiss” and “has an issue with women,” but the 86-year-old director of “Ordinary People” nevertheless “was in love with” her, the actress disclosed on Friday.
Italy’s Venice (AP) — At the Venice Film Festival, the elderly celebrities are dazzling the most and enjoying themselves immensely. Along with their late-life romance Our Souls at Night, a lively Robert Redford and Jane Fonda brought undimmed shine to the festival on Friday. They play widowed neighbors who develop a friendship in the Netflix drama, which was produced more than 50 years after they first appeared on screen together.
The awe-inspiring response from Venice viewers suggests that the chemistry that sparked one of their most memorable partnerships in the 1967 romance comedy Barefoot in the Park is still present. It’s wonderful, according to Fonda, “that these films bookend our careers.”
On “Barefoot in the Park,” she stated to reporters, “we played that young love just getting married and now we’ve played old people’s love — and old people’s sex.” “However, I feel that Ritesh ended the sexual scene too soon,” Fonda continued, addressing filmmaker Ritesh Batra. Her statement on Redford was, “I live for sex scenes with him.”
