Jane Fonda has slammed critics who criticise her as too old to act - branding their remarks "ageist".
The 71-year-old returned to Broadway this month (Feb09) to star in new play 33 Variations after a 45-year hiatus from the stage.
And Fonda insists she has no plans to call it quits.
She says, "Nobody I know that's older wants to retire. They're all looking for new adventures. I don't think my friends are all that unusual.
"I think it's a mistake of ageism to think that because you're older you're going to want to pack it in. Now's the time to really do things."
Fonda's controversial documentary opposing the Vietnam War is to be released on DVD - 37 years after it was pulled from cinemas and withdrawn from circulation.
The actress emerged as a prominent political activist in the 1960s, opposing the longrunning American conflict in the Southeast Asian country.
Fonda teamed up with Donald Sutherland and Fred Gardner in 1970 to form the FTA (Free The Army) tour, an anti-war road show, and their protests were filmed for the documentary.
The movie hit cinemas in 1972, the same week Fonda made a controversial trip to Hanoi, North Vietnam, visiting opposition forces.
A week after its release, the film was removed from theatres, with director Francine Parker blaming pressure from the White House for making the movie "disappear".
