Dolly Parton taught her the value of connecting with fans

Jane Fonda took behavioral lessons from her collaboration with Katharine Hepburn. Speaking to AARP The Magazine, Fonda explained that she learned how to treat people by doing the opposite of how Hepburn did on the set of 1981’s On Golden Lake.

“I was scared by Katharine Hepburn, this is certain. Oh my god. When we were filming “On Golden Lake” he made sure he was always the dominant dog and [να δείχνω] that I knew it. I think my friends will tell you that I really try to do the opposite and make people feel comfortable,” the actress said when asked if she has negative examples from celebrities.

Hepburn died in 2003 at the age of 96. She earned a total of 12 Oscar nominations during her Hollywood career, winning four times, including Best Actress for On Golden Lake. Fonda was nominated for Best Supporting Actress for the same film, and her father, Henry Fonda, won the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Elsewhere in her interview, Fonda shared a positive experience from another celebrity, saying that the Dolly Parton it taught her the value of connecting with fans.

“I grew up with a father who if anyone came up to him to ask for his autograph, he would literally run away. He could not bear to be reminded of his fame. But you know who taught me the importance of fans? Dolly Parton. “Talk to your fans!” she was saying… and seeing how she interacted, how she listened, how she really cared about her fans, I thought, “Oh my God, Dolly is right.” Our career depends on our fans! That changed me forever.”
