I sat down with Jane Fonda at the Cannes Film Festival, the day after she took the stage at the Palais des Festivals alongside Gong Li, to declare the ceremony open. One of the festival’s highlights this year was the celebration honoring Jane Fonda for her 20th milestone anniversary as global ambassador for L'Oréal Paris. At 88, she reflects on becoming a L’Oréal Paris ambassador at the age of 68. She shares her insights on self-worth, as well as staying hopeful and active. I know, I know, this episode is short. I wish I’d had more time with Jane Fonda — but honestly, every minute with her is pure gold. Follow the podcast on Apple Podcast and Spotify and my Instagram @laureguilbault

I couldn't agree more.    In this episode, she talks about her collaboration with legendary photographers and designers, her commitment to the children of Rwanda and her zest for life.
