Inside the September issue of MiNDFOOD

COVER STORY: JANE FONDA

The original queen of reinvention, Jane Fonda’s life is nothing short of fascinating. At 77, she’s in the limelight again with hit show Grace and Frankie. Fonda chats to MiNDFOOD about her thoughts on mortality and how finding love in her 70’s has given her a happiness she never expected to feel.
