FONDA: 'I'VE BEEN FORGIVEN'

Sixties screen siren JANE FONDA insists she has won over Vietnam war veterans, despite being spat at by a former soldier at a recent signing for her memoirs.

The BARBARELLA actress incensed those who fought in the conflict after making a number of anti-American speeches and appearing in photographs sitting on a Vietnamese tank during a trip to Hanoi in 1972.

Many are still angry with Fonda - veteran MICHAEL SMITH, 54, queued for 90 minutes to spit into her face at a signing of MY LIFE SO FAR in Kansas City, Missouri, last month.

But the star insists others have found it in their hearts to forgive her.

She says, "There are still so many for who, I'm a lightning rod. But what makes me feel good is when I get letters from Vietnam veterans, which I do all the time.

"They say: 'I hated you, but I've come to realise you were right and want to ask forgiveness.'"
