In 1972, Fonda visited Hanoi, and was controversially photographed seated on an anti-aircraft battery, which angered many American supporters of the war.  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.
