As part of the new AARP Magazine cover story (Fonda and her “80 For Brady” costars Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field appear) and Fonda detailed her time with Hepburn on 1981’s “On Golden Pond.”
Fonda’s answer was in response to if she’d ever been starstruck.
“I was intimidated by Katharine Hepburn, that’s for sure. My God. When we made ‘On Golden Pond,’ she made sure that she was always top dog – and that I knew it. I think my costars will tell you that I really try to do the opposite and make people feel comfortable,” she said.
