Following up on that last post, here’s my little YouTube time waster: actors talking about acting. I came across a video of Jane Fonda describing how hard it was to film her final emotional scene with her father in On Golden Pond.  Jane tells a great tale. It’s sad, funny, dramatic, and even features a cameo by Katharine Hepburn. There’s no date on the interview, but from the condition of her face, let’s peg it at 1993. Then, in the “related videos” column, I found a video of Jane Fonda appearing on “Inside the Actor’s Studio” in which she tells the same story about 13 years later. And when I say the same story, I mean the same story. As she unspools her yarn, it’s almost word-for-word identical to the earlier interview, but this time, with a live audience on hand, she’s even more, you know, dramatic. Great stuff. There’s a life lesson here: We each create our own personal mythologies. It’s up to us remember them and to maintain them. I’d love to know how many times old Jane has dined out on that story.
