I hear Jane became a Christian...
Yes it's true. Jane's reflections with Oprah:

O: I recently read that you were converted to Christianity by your chauffeur, who took you to a black church. True?
JF: No. I have become a Christian, but it had nothing to do with a driver. And I do go to a black Church.

O: You do?
JF: Providence [Missionary] Baptist Church.

O: I grew up in a black church, and when whites would come, it was a big deal. So are you a big deal there?

JF: Uh-huh!
O: There's Jane!

JF: I haven't joined any church - that's the church I've been to a number times. I go to other churches too. I'm on a quest. I grew up in secular environments on both coasts - either in New York or Hollywood - and the only people I knew who had faith were Jewish. Most of the people whom I did organizing work with were lapsed Catholics, including both my previous husbands.

O: So you grew up with no faith? I was raised a Christian in the church and I'm always fascinated that there are people who never had faith. I don't know how you exist without it.
JF: My father was agonistic. Once when I was about 13, I wanted to go to church on Christmas Eve. I wanted to go hear the Christmas carols, and my father said I was a hypocrite - that was the environment I grew up in. And yet for 15 years, I have felt guided. I interpreted that in a secular way in the beginning, but then I heard Bill Moyers say, "Coincidence is God's way of remaining anonymous," and it unleashed my need to be spiritual. This was about ten years ago. I began to pray. I felt the hand of God on my shoulder. When I got on my knees and touched my fingers to my forehead and prayed - and I always have to do it aloud - I felt this incredible connection to God, or to what I call the Holy Spirit. That only happened once, when I moved to Atlanta because it was the first time that I had spent time with people of faith - those who go to church and read the Bible. Ted has read the Bible cover to cover, twice. He can quote scripture better than most preachers.

O: The same Ted who had been quoted as saying, "Christianity is for losers" - that Ted?
JF: That's right. Ted is a fallen angel. He was going to be a missionary. He was saved seven times, he says. He felt betrayed by God when his sister died horrifically from lupus when he was about 19. And it turned him hostile - and it's not hard to be hostile to the church. Because you can go through history, the Crusades and the inquisitions, and the formal church had a lot to apologize for.

O: Amen.
JF: But that's facile. And Christianity or any religion doesn't necessarily have to be about a church. You carry your God inside you.... it's difficult, because when you're famous and the word gets out that you're Christian, every church is saying, "even Jane Fonda." People come up to me in airports and through their arms around me.
