"I never pictured 30," Fonda told People
magazine in an interview published on Wednesday.
"I assumed I wouldn’t live very long and that I would die lonely
and an addict of some sort. I didn’t think if I did live this
long, that I would be vibrant and healthy and still working. I’m
grateful," she added.
Fonda's mother committed suicide when she was 12 years old and
the same year her actor father, Henry Fonda, remarried. She has
spoken in the past about suffering from bulimia, taking
hallucinogenic drugs and being abused as a child.
Fonda won her first Oscar in 1972, at age 35, for the movie "Klute"
and went on to win her second for the 1978 Vietnam War drama
"Coming Home." She became an anti-war and women's activist,
launched a fitness craze with her 1980s workout videos, married
three times, and is nominated at January's Screen Actors Guild
awards for her lead role in TV series "Grace and Frankie".
The actress turned 80 on Dec. 21.
"I’m thankful that I’ve gotten better over the 80 years," she
told People. "I’m less judgmental. I’m forgiving. It wasn’t
always true. I’ve really worked hard to get better as a human
being."
