The science-fiction film ''Barbarella'' (1968), directed by Frenchman Roger Vadim, her first husband, established Fonda as a [[sex]] symbol. Her marriage to Vadim, which lasted from 1965 to 1973, brought her into contact with [[left-wing]] intellectuals and may have had a role in her political radicalization.  She supported the [[Civil Rights]] movement and opposed the [[Vietnam War]], particularly through involvement with the [[front group]] [[Vietnam Veterans Against the War]] (VVAW).  She was also a vocal supporter of the [[Black Panthers]].

In July-August 1972, Fonda visited [[Hanoi]], where she spoke out against the war. Her detractors labeled her "Hanoi Jane", comparing her to war propagandists [[Tokyo Rose]] and Hanoi Hannah. She was controversially photographed seated on an anti-aircraft gun, which angered many American supporters of the war. The following is a sample of what she had to say while in Hanoi:

In a 1988 interview, she said, "I will go to my grave regretting the photograph of me in an anti-aircraft gun, which looks like I was trying to shoot at American planes. It hurt so many soldiers. It galvanized such hostility. It was the most horrible thing I could possibly have done. It was just thoughtless."<ref>http://www.lib.berkeley.edu/MRC/pacificaviet.html#aftermath</ref> In her 2005 autobiography she claimed she had been manipulated into posing in the photographs.

Fonda married political activist [[Tom Hayden]] in 1973 following her divorce from Roger Vadim. She and Hayden had a son, Troy (born 1973), and they also unofficially adopted the teenage daughter of members of the [[Black Panther]]s.  Fonda divorced Hayden in 1989, and married [[CNN]] founder [[Ted Turner]] in 1991. They divorced in 2001, after Fonda declared her conversion to [[Christianity]].
