But not close enough.by James Conrad
[TheMix] The Hollywood star Jane Fonda is opening up in a new interview about how she is “closer to death” at the age of 85.
‘I’M CLOSER TO DEATH’
“I’m super-conscious that I’m closer to death,” Fonda said, according to Fox News. “And it doesn’t really bother me that much.”
“What bothers me is that my body is, you know basically not mine!” she added. “My knees are not mine, my hips are not mine, my shoulder’s not mine. You’re looking at somebody who’s only me from here up.”

“The fact is if you’re alive and relatively healthy at an older – I mean, I’m almost 85,” she continued. “The fact that I’m still alive and working, wow, who cares if I don’t have my old joints? And I can’t ski or bike or run anymore? … You know, you can be really old at 60, and you can be really young at 85. Health!”| My mother is doing fine at 96, though she gave up her car keys a few years ago. I’m not at 60. A lot of it appears to be luck beyond genetics and environment. |
