Jane Fonda (85 years old) stars in the movie Joy House with stars Alain Delon and Lola Albright, according to Variety .

Actress Jane Fonda, who visited Vietnam in 1972, further explained, "He wanted to go to bed with me and said that the character had to have an orgasm in the film. He needed to know how I felt. René spoke in French and I pretended not to understand."

René Clément was 51 at the time of the production of Joy House , while Jane Fonda was only 27. Clément was one of France's most successful filmmakers of the 1950s and 1960s, winning five awards at the Cannes Film Festival during his career. He died in 1996, aged 83.

The MGM-backed Joy House stars Jane Fonda as a woman who falls in love with a gambling kingpin while on the run from American gangsters.

Jane Fonda's shocking revelations come as the French film industry continues to be under fire for its longstanding sexual abuse record. Portrait of a Lady on Fire actress Adele Haenel wrote an open letter this month announcing her retirement from the film industry. She criticized the Cannes Film Festival and cited the stories of filmmakers such as Roman Polanski and Gerard Depardieu.

Cannes Film Festival promoter Theirry Fremaux dismissed Haenel's claims, telling reporters at the 2023 Cannes Film Festival: "If Haenel thought it was a festival of rapists, she wouldn't be here listening to me, nor would she be complaining that she couldn't get a ticket to the cinema."

Jane Fonda is currently promoting her latest film Book Club: The Next Chapter , written and directed by Bill Holderman.
