The Power of Female Friendship

"It's everything I imagined women's friendships can be," Fonda says.

We're friends and we love working together and we help each other when we need to."

Fonda's resilience and zest for life are not only inspiring but also a reflection of her inner strength and unwavering spirit. She continues to be a force to be reckoned with, both on and off-screen.
