 * Nope. She was named Jane Seymour Fonda, and her family called her Lady Jane as a nickname. The strange spelling of "Jayne" is not official. Bill Davidson wrote about this stuff in his 1990 book Jane Fonda: An Intimate Biography, and Michael Freedland said the same thing in the 1988 book Jane Fonda: A Biography. Peter Collier talked about this in the 1992 book The Fondas: A Hollywood Dynasty. Wikipedia relies more on WP:SECONDARY sources than on primary interviews.

Hanoi rumors
In the "Visit to Hanoi" section, the final sentences of the third paragraph:

"Her visits to the POW camp led to persistent and exaggerated rumors which were repeated widely, and continued to circulate on the Internet decades later. Fonda, as well as the named POWs, have denied the rumors, and subsequent interviews with the POWs showed these allegations to be false—the persons named had never met Fonda."

Wouldn't it be helpful to state what the rumors and allegations were? 2600:1700:B280:B1C0:315A:47E7:51DA:B2D2 (talk) 10:40, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * We have the worst of both worlds here, we have hand-wavy statements about something, but Wikipedia also doesn't repeat gossip or libelous allegations against living people.  Acroterion   (talk)   13:09, 13 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Since it is well-sourced, including, but not solely, by Fonda herself, I've added a brief summary of the alleged coercion by the North Vietnamese of prisoners to meet Fonda - which never happened. Fonda also was falsely accused of passing notes that prisoners had written to the Vietnamese, which also did not happen, but that's harder to integrate and is farther into the realm of rumor and libel (and has been extensively debunked).
