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 group Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW).  She was also a vocal supporter of the [[Black Panthers]].

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." In her 2005 autobiography she claimed she had been manipulated into posing in the photographs.
