"i read somewhere that the role was originally offered toyou may want to sit downbarbara streisand. gross!!! imagine barbara streisand in that shrink-fonda improv scene! (i shudder)"
Streisand says she tells Jane Fonda all the time if it hadn't been for her she wouldn't have a career because she turned down Klute, Julia and They Shoot Horses, Don't They? Streisand also says she's kinda sad she turned down Julia because Lillian Hellman said to her, "YOU should've played me" -

Yes, Streisand turned down the role and Fonda got the Oscar. But I can't see Fonda doing
Funny Girl
, can you? Among Pauline Kael's favorites was Jane Fonda and Barbra Streisand.
Both wonderful actresses in the right vehicles..

Jane Fonda winning for Klute in 1971 was one of the most deserved Best Actress wins in Oscar history. Bree Daniels is such a great character. Fonda was astonishing and painful to watch, in a good way. She simply blew me away.

Yes, not just tears but snot. Amazing scene, in a long unbroken take.

i thought the one of last scenes with her psychiatrist, when she tries to explain her sabotaging her relationship with Klute was pretty amazing, that and the first seduction (as well as the gutsy scene of her crying at the end) probably won her the Oscar.

The Oscars is overrated and meaningless self congratulatory garbage in an all exclusive club where the “winners” are picked on bias and not performance.
Jane is a terrible “actress” just like dear old and dead dad Henry.
