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]].
