martinca, yes! That's exactly what my daughter and I said, that she looks like Carol Burnett. Not that there's anything wrong with it, just different.

Did you know that she is no longer buying clothing (Because of environmental harm). The dress she wore last night she wore before to the Oscars (2014).. I’ve always been a fan of hers.

She's made a lot of good movies. We watch The China Syndrome last week-end, which I had recorded from TCM. Any Wednesday and Barefoot in the Park are two more favorites, plus Barbarella. We did not watch the Oscars last night, however.

Grace & Frankie is on its 7th season, so been around a while. Love it! Jane Fonda has had a lot of work done on her face. She does look great for her age in spite of the 'stretched' effect. She's always been a blonde. Her new gray pixie cut is what made her look like Carol Burnett.

Jane Fonda starts at 82, no longer buying clothes because of environmental harm? Sorry, that is just funny to me. LOL

She does look great for 82 though! I wondered if that was a wig or not.

Grace and Frankie is my favorite show, mainly because of Frankie...and Sol and Robert-love them! I absolutely love Sol and Roberts house! I am thinking about adding color (getting rid of my all white walls that everyone has now) to my similarly style (southwestern-ish) house now.

olliesmom, the fashion pages are commenting on the choice of 'gray short wig' and previously worn dress. Mostly favorable.

Not a wig. Her stylist claims to have spent 7 hours achieving her new gray color, which she chose as a 'surprise' for those who would see her at the Oscars.

I thought she looked different last night than she does on Grace and Frankie--I didn't recognize her for a split second. She was definitely more plastic-like. I assumed she had more work done. I don't think she looked older though.

Oh, I loved her hair! It was just so different than what she’s been wearing. She has always tried to look much younger, is all. I didn’t like the dress, but to each their own.

I was wrong... Season 6 of Grace & Frankie just released. Season 7 will be it's last.

I liked the dress but not the cape draped over her shoulder and then her arm. I thought she might be planning a quick exit.

I wonder how they will incorporate her new "do" into Season 7. Or, maybe it's already complete? Grace is already having problems about her aging with her new hubby! I mean, she can't even get off the toilet without help LOL

It looks like a wig. i don’t care whether it is or not, but it definitely looks like a wig. And she wears a wig in Grace and Frankie. There are episodes in which she takes it off on camera.

Toby, the jacket/wrap draped over her shoulder was distracting and we couldn't see the reason for it. Couldn't she leave it backstage?

This morning I've seen enough shots of her hair from last night with scalp naturally peeking through to convince me it was not a wig. Either that or it was an extremely clever wig that intentionally reveals scalp.

“Her colorist Jack Martin shared some of the thinking behind the decision in a lovely Instagram post.

“I had the honor and the pleasure to transform the legendary actress @janefonda hair specially for the 2020 Oscar. Spending 7 hours with this amazing Hollywood star and witnessing her energy, beauty, strength and femininity was so inspiring,” he wrote. “For straight 7 hours while I was working on her hair she was writing chapters in her due soon book, and memorizing her lines in the famous tv show Frankie and grace [sic] that she is shooting the 7th season now, answering emails and reading her newspapers plus communicating with me and her team with the sweetest, humblest soul, she made me feel ashamed to complain of being tired.””

Kswl, I have watched every episode and have not seen her take of a wig.

That quote from her stylist above is what I was referring to. Although -- seven hours?!? Yikes. That's a VERY long time to have a colorist work on one's hair, is it not?

I liked it! I don't think 7 hours is a long time to get that grey. I mean, yes it's a good length of time, and more time than I spend for a root touch up and cut, but I've been looking into transitioning to grey lately and it's a really lengthy process to get the color just right if you want to skip growing out the roots.

I’ve spent over 3 hours getting my color right and I was just going to the grocery store.

She has worn the red coat at every protest where she's been arrested. She announced it was the 'last article of clothing' she will ever buy.

I had to go back twice, after getting a wild hair to get my hair totally bleached out about 3 years ago. It took a lot of time! And, I have blonde hair.

I agree Bluebell that 7 hours doesn't seem that long if they were processing her haircolor to grey. If I choose stop coloring my hair one day, I might look into how that works and the cost.

eld - the episode kswl is referring to is the one where Grace took off all of her beauty enhancements to demonstrate to her new younger man what he was in for if he chose to be with her. Not sure if it was a full wig or hair pieces but it definitely included hair. At least that's how I remember it.

ETA: Found it - the episode is The Real Me

I think it was when she was dating that cowboyish contractor guy and it turned out his wife was still alive but suffering from Alzheimer’s? He slept

over and there was something about her hair. I don’t even remember what season it was, but at some point she acknowledged a hair piece or

something. My mother and all her friends are in their eighties and I can definitely say their hair is not as plentiful as Jane Fonda’s looks on tv. They don’t have hairdressers fussing over then for hours at a time but most still go to a professional stylist, I think that’s probably the last thing they’d give up.

I couldn't remember where she took off a wig. I do remember the hairpieces now, but that's not a wig. I've always remembered Jane Fonda with a great head of hair.

Kswl, I have watched every episode and have not seen her take of a wig.

It was hair extensions, not a wig.

I thought she looked gorgeous last night!

I haven't seen all her films but I like her as an actress and Cat Ballou is worth a journey back for.

Her hair has been gorgeous at almost every stage of her life. Check out these photos of her throughout her career:

I enjoyed that Kswl. Most could even be worn today.

I loved watching Grace and Frankie and have admired Jane Fonda's style. As a matter of fact in a previous post about clothing and style I mentioned Jane Fonda. I love the way she dressed in G&F the collared shirts and tailored pant or jeans. She looks terrific with the" new do "!!

She’s got one heckuva plastic surgeon is all I have to say. She looks a lot more natural than women 1/2 her age who have had work done imho. Have always admired her outspokenness and her movies.

She must have a good plastic surgeon. I didn't notice a pinched look when seeing pictures of her at the Oscars. I was surprised at her hair. Grace &Frankie is a show so it makes sense her 'hair' on the show isn't her everyday look--wig or not. There is an episode where she pokes fun at BAD plastic surgery and we get a peek at what she could look like. Maybe she is answering the question "At what age should one just let go and go gray?". hahaha I think On Golden Pond is the only movie of hers I've seen. Her voice quality intrigues me. She's had a life time of privilege & fortune thus the ability and time to push her agendas. Not much REAL WORLD but I guess I can respect her for doing SOMETHING with her time.

Her hair on G&F always looked like a wig to me.

OT - speaking of wigs - Julianna Margulies, the actress from The Good Wife was on one of the late night talk shows and mentioned her wigs. She said that with her natural curly hair it would have required hours of hair styling repeated throughout the day to make her hair look the way they wanted it. Her hair looked perfect on that show so I've begun to suspect there are a lot more wigs out there then I ever suspected.

I have never quite been able to get on the Jane bandwagon. Although she has always been on the forefront of whatever is being protested at the moment ( protested for good reasons), I get the feeling she is promoting herself as much as being a protester. Also, she once declared she would never have plastic surgery and look at her now.

Didnt love the gray hairstyle on her. I do see the resemblance to Carol Burnett, who strikes me as a more genuine person, although also a victim of too much plastic surgery.

My bff is the spitting image of Jane, sans surgery. I wish I could post a picture of her but she’d kill me. She even has the same body build as Jane but her boobs are real.

I think Jane is a very good actress although her characters all have a certain nervous similarity. Loved On Golden Pond and adore Grace and Frankie. Funny I was watching G&F last night and thinking that Grace’s hairstyle looked so dated next to the others in the show. mary Steenbergen’s hair looked great and she is not young. Jane has to be wearing a wig.

I've only seen On Golden Pond and then the most recent one was The Book Club. I loved that movie-very lighthearted romantic comedy-my kind of movie, BUT I didn't like Jane Fonda's character in that movie at all. I liked it because of Diane Keaton and Candace Bergen. And, I know I'm old now, because I have a crush on Andy Garcia.

This is Jane with her own line of wigs on, she definitely wears them. The gray one is a wig of hers too. https://www.bing.com/search?q=jane%20fonda%20with%20a%20wig%20on&FORM=AFTD01&PC=AFTD Here's an article where they state she is wearing a wig. https://pagesix.com/2020/02/10/jane-fonda-re-wears-dress-to-the-oscars-2020-after-vowing-to-quit-shopping/

I am sure they must be human hair as opposed to acrylic or whatever they make wigs from.

She doesn't have her own line of wigs and I doubt that she wears a wig.. All of those "Jane Fonda wigs" are named so because the manufacturers copied her hairstyles, her look.

She is the winner of two Academy Awards herself. I have never seen a "nervous quality" in all of her characters, other than when she was portraying someone who was, as in On Golden Pond. She was, in real life, extremely anxious during the whole film shoot, having to perform with her hypercritical and mostly estranged father.

I didn't see her Oscar appearance although based on the photos I much prefer her 'natural' (LOL) soft blonde color a la Grace and Frankie. I always think her hair looks great on the show, very soft and the tone is perfect for her coloring. I've noticed on this season she is moving stiffly although I think that's a plot point rather than her natural gait. I just love the show and I"m so sad it will end after its next season. It's truly remarkable how great not only Jane Fonda looks but also Lili Tomlin who is only a few years younger. For a couple of 80-year olds they still bring all the charm, talent and beauty one could ever expect from actresses!

HBO had an excellent documentary on Jane Fonda last year, and if you find her interesting it is well worth watching.

Thanks for that link, I will try to watch it with my mom this weekend.

Her hair colorist explains the process he used to transform her hair. She wanted to surprise everyone that night and asked for "silver icy blonde".

A girlfriend told me that Sharon Osbourne just went grey so I looked for photos. I have been contemplating the same transition so I pay attention to these things! Apparently she was coloring weekly and became tired of it. I think the grey is a much better look for her, although she is overly made up - or has probably had a lot of cosmetic work done. (This transformation supposedly took 8 hours.)

Goodness what a lovely change for Sharon Osburne! Sort of proves the adage that lighter works better with mature features. That dark hairdo, which I think she's worn a long time, seems so harsh against her features.

It’s also the lighting. So many before pictures show a person scowling, in bad light and sloppily dressed!
