Yes, she did. At that point people hated her. My error.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating.

No she did win. Didn't she? I have to Google it but I am sure that I saw video of her accepting the award.

She was so good. She should have received an academy award, but the stain of her Vietnam name faux pas still clung to her.

She did. The award winning moment was when snot dripped down her nose while she was crying.

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.

She certainly did. Definitely her most complex and fascinating performance in a film period.
You've seen Guy Standeven in something because the man was in everything.

Oh, definitely!
As good as she was scene-to-scene, the scene with the killer and tape recorder playing is terrifying and she plays it perfectly.
I thought this scene nailed her win down.

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.

Came on TCM very late last night.
I'm not a big fan of the movie, but Fonda, wow.
Deserved win.

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

I used to "work out" to them as well.

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, 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..

I was a bit sad when I heard Jane turned down The Exorcist but she says she doesn't like scary movies. Jane has turned down A LOT of films, sadly

And Jane Fonda also turned down Bonnie and Clyde and The Exorcist BTW. Can you imagine Streisand as Bree Daniels or Gloria Beattyplease.

"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"
