Jane June: ‘They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?’ and ‘Coming Home’

With a new month comes another punny way to celebrate one of our favorite Best Actress winners, Jane Fonda! In They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?, her first Oscar nomination and a film that still holds a Best Picture record today, she competes in a timeless, yet horrific Depression-era dance marathon. Then, in Coming Home, she befriends an old high school colleague, Luke, while volunteering at a veterans’ hospital and her husband is off serving in Vietnam (28:22). Listen to Nick and Sophia dive into these critical hits, sharing favorite moments and performances while highlighting the importance these roles had for Fonda’s career.
