Ted and Jane meet

Today's Beautiful Moment

There are a few other more personal notes in the Barbara Walters interview with Jane Fonda on PBS. Ted Turner's first words on his first date with Fonda are a little bizarre: "We got in the car. His first words to me was, ‘some of my best friends are communists. I’m thinking, ‘did he say that because he thinks I’m a communist, and it won’t get in the way’?" He named Gorbachev and Castro as his close friends.

Walters told Fonda "We all though that was a marriage that was pretty special." She asked "What broke it up? The rumor was that you became spiritual. You found religion. He didn’t like that." She also mentioned that Turner had adulterous relationships. -  "Fonda Recounted Ted Turner's Atheism and Boasting of Communist Friends"

Ted Turner has a 19,000 acre ranch near Bozeman, MT. There were a number of restaurants in Bozeman that refused to serve Jane Fonda when she walked in the door.

That's why Ted divorced her, he could not eat out when he was at his ranch.

I want it to be true -- Is that verifiable? Or from your own experience ?

The fact that she was refused service in Bozeman is common knowledge in that city.

The speculation that it was the reason for the divorce is mine alone.

I love hearing a restaurant refused to serve Hanoi Jane. That makes my day.
