Jane Fonda Movie Trivia

Actress Jane Fonda was on Letterman last night, promoting a new movie in which she stars alongside Lindsay Lohan. Most of the trivia one might dig up concerning Jane Fonda would probably focus more on the 60's and 70's than the 80's. But then, the band name Duran Duran did come from the movie "Barbarella." And who can forget Fonda and her leg warmers, appearing in the series of Jane Fonda workout tapes that spanned the 80's?

Fonda's film work in the 80's was less intense than in previous decades, but she had a few hits and otherwise notable appearances. In fact, Jane Fonda and her father Henry Fonda were the only father daughter acting team to both receive Oscar nominations in the same year. The year was 1981, what was the name of the film?

Bonus Question: In 1980, Jane Fonda starred along with Dolly Parton and Lilly Tomlin in the hit comedy "9 to 5." One of the other members of the cast of "9 to 5" also appeared in the mystery film mentioned in the trivia question above. Who was it?

The answer to the Trivia Question (Jane Fonda and her father Henry Fonda were the only father daughter acting team to both receive Oscar nominations in the same year. The year was 1981, what was the name of the film?) was "On Golden Pond."

The answer to the Bonus Question (One of the other members of the cast of "9 to 5" also appeared in "On Golden Pond." Who was it?) was Dabne Coleman (he played Fonda's husband in "On Golden Pond," he was the boss in "9 To 5.")
