Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden – 16 Years Together

Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden were an unlikely Hollywood-activism mashup. They crossed paths in the early 1970s, both knee-deep in the anti-war movement. Fonda, the glamorous actress, found common ground with Hayden, the fiery activist.
By 1973, they were hitched, with Jane even crediting Tom with wanting a child.

They used their fame as a platform for their activism, even making anti-war films together. But after 17 years, even the strongest bonds can fray. A lot was said about Tom’s wandering eye, and in 1990, their romance ended. It wasn’t a fairytale ending, but for 17 years, they were a powerful couple who fought for what they believed in.
