Monday Peach Buzz:
Jane dons jammies for charity
By RICHARD L. ELDREDGE
In
exchange for a $22,000 donation to her Georgia Campaign for Adolescent
Pregnancy Prevention, Jane Fonda donned a pair of men's flannel pajamas
Friday night. Jane Fonda joined donors to her pregnancy prevention charity
for a sleep-over Friday.
Fonda presided over a sleep-over party at a mansion in Duluth (formerly
owned by ex-Atlanta Falcon Chris Chandler and his wife, Diane) with the 22
women who ponied up a grand apiece in exchange for an opportunity to share
some girl-talk time with the activist-actress. The money was raised at the
G-CAPP fund-raising premiere of "Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya
Sisterhood" in June. Among those present were Atlanta publicist Meg
Reggie, Star 94 radio's Vikki Locke, TV reporter Karyn Greer and Atlanta
jeweler Molly Mednikow, who went all out for the occasion. She arrived
with props and a makeup artist to transform her into a geisha for the
evening, complete with black wig and white pancake makeup.
Fonda, meanwhile, dropped a small bombshell on Buzz -- that she intends to
resume an acting career. "I'm just like anyone else who thought her
retirement was set until the bottom fell out of the market this
year," said Fonda, who's amicably divorced from media mogul Ted
Turner. "I need to work again."
In fact, she has already pinpointed the role she'd like to play. But she
wouldn't go on record with specifics because the deal isn't sealed. (Buzz,
however, has consistently heard in the past few months that Fonda is
hungry to play the cancer-riddled protagonist in a big-screen treatment of
Susan Minot's novel "Evening.") "I want my return to acting
to be a walk-on appearance on a really hot [cable] TV show," Fonda
said. "And I want to play myself."
Watershed chef Scott Peacock was busy in the kitchen, whipping up batches
of his trademark fried chicken, greens, sweet potatoes and banana pudding
for the crowd.
Naturally, if you can afford to toss out a thousand dollars for a slumber
party, the elaborate environs of the Chandler estate may come off like a
Barbie townhouse compared with your digs. According to reports from within
the Chandler mansion walls (which apparently are equipped with both ears
and access to e-mail), at one point in the evening, one guest looked
around disappointedly and sniffed, "This house isn't that big."
