A dish called Fonda! Evergreen Jane looks great at 78 as she attends theatre benefit at New York University
It is just shy of 50 years since she floated around in the nude on the silver screen in Barbarella.
And Jane Fonda was looking almost as good as ever as she graced the red carpet at a New York University theatre benefit on Monday.
The actress was looking great at 78 as she flaunted her feminine figure on the red carpet of the Tectonic At 25 event at the NYU Skirball Centre.

The Klute star looked in fine form indeed cream trench coat,trousers and classy silver stilettos.
At one point she took to the stage to address the audience, where she no doubt delivered an uplifting speech.
Also in attendance was Sex And The City Cynthia Nixon, 50, who showcased her figure in a blue dress before delivering a monologue to the thrilled crowd.
Jane was appearing following the death of her left wing political activist former husband Tom Hayden last month. They were married in 1973 and divorced in 1990.
It's been 44 years years since she shocked the American public by straddling a Viet Cong anti-aircraft gun during the Vietnam War.

She wrote in her 2005 autobiography that she'd been tricked into that gesture and has since apologised for her radical stance.
In 1972, she visited Hanoi, Vietnam, where she spoke out against the U.S. military and was photographed seated with Viet Cong soldiers wearing one of their helmets.
In a 1988 interview with Barbara Walters, Fonda expressed regret about some of her comments, but many more conservative Americans have never forgotten.
A highly publicised appearance on QVC was axed in 2011 after the cable shopping channel received complaints from customers threatening a boycot due to her anti-war stance.
