This may be the biggest senior-citizen return to show business since Betty White – Jane Fonda, award-winning actress and ’80s fitness guru, has just come out with a whole new series of fitness DVDs geared toward the silver set. Â In addition, the 72-year-old has said that she’s ready to get back into acting full-time, voicing her desire to find a cable network that could put her in a starring role for a dramatic series that she has in mind.
Jane announced recently that she’s just come out the other side of a battle with breast cancer, and I guess there’s no need to guess who was the victor – she looks fantastic, and clearly she’s healthy and feeling more like her old workaholic self again.
Barbara Walters has announced nine of her “Ten Most Fascinating People” for 2010, and the names on it, with a couple of exceptions, are enough to make you wonder if Walters has succumbed to a sudden bout of dementia.
Man, Betty White is everywhere these days, and it’s not just the entertainment industry that has caught on to her gigantic comeback.  The U.S. Forest Service has made White an honorary ranger, in a ceremony  in Washington earlier this week.
Finally there’s some justice in the universe – Tina Fey, SNL veteran and star of 30 Rock, was awarding the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor at the Kennedy Center last night. Â That Fey is still so young and has had a relatively short career is a testament to her comedic genius, as most humorists and comedians who receive this prestigious award have been in the business for many decades, and are usually closer to 80 than 40.
