Hollywood star Jane Fonda has told how a film director once asked to sleep with her “to see what my orgasms were like.”
The legendary actress made the revelation as she appeared on US TV.
In a section of ‘Watch What Happens Live’ called 'Plead the Fifth,' Fonda was asked to name one man in Hollywood who “tried to pick you up once who you turned down.”
The 85-year-old immediately answered: “The French director René Clément,” referring to the award-winning director of films including La bataille du rail (The Battle of the Rails) and the Oscar-nominated Jeux interdits (Forbidden Games)." Clément died in March 1996 aged 82.
Although Fonda did not name the film, she starred in Clément’s 1964 movie Les Félins.
“Was it a sloppy pass?” asked host Andy Cohen.
Fonda replied: “Well, he wanted to go to bed with me because he said the character had to have an orgasm in the movie and he needed to see what my orgasms were like.”
“Are you kidding me?” Cohen responded.
She replied: “He said it in French, and I pretended I didn’t understand.”
Cohen later asked: “After your decades working in the entertainment industry, who do you think is the biggest misogynist in Hollywood?”
“Oh my God,” Fonda replied in fake horror. “I plead the fifth.”
While on the show, the Oscar winner also revealed she had seen Michael Jackson and Greta Garbo swim naked.
She said: “He (Jackson) came and visited me when we were shooting ‘On Golden Pond’ and I had a little cottage on the lake.”
“It was a beautiful moonlit night,” said Fonda, who described him as having been “skinny” after undressing.
The actress then recalled how Garbo had dived into freezing cold water.
"She had the most athletic body,” Fonda said.
