Jane Fonda shared her secret to staying vibrant and young Thursday in New York City when she told a reporter that the key was “good genes and lots of money.”
The 85-year-old actress, who looked glamorous at the recent Vienna Opera Ball, didn’t miss a beat when she joked about her response to a TMZ reporter who asked her about her personal fountain of youth while posing for photos outside the Ed Sullivan Theater.
The Oscar winner looked stylish in all black as she flashed a peace sign to fans waiting to see her ahead of her appearance at The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The fitness guru, who announced in December that she was in remission after chemotherapy for non-Hodgkin lymphoma, stepped out in high-waisted black pants and a simple black top with a blue and white collar.
He covered himself in a thick, knee-length black jacket.

Lily looked fresh in an all-white outfit as she sat next to her friend in her 40s.

When asked how she would describe the longstanding friendship with her Grace and Frankie co-star, Jane replied: “Almost intimate,” calling The Madness Within star “a genuine genius.”
When Lily tried to modestly ignore the compliment, Jane told her, “Don’t make fun of me, I mean it.”

The Emmy winner then described how she and Jane came to star in Moving On, revealing that it started with a simple phone call to writer-director Paul Weitz.
‘I said, ‘why don’t you write a movie for me and my friend?’ and he said, ‘sure.’ And he thought about it and wrote one.
Moving On opens in theaters on March 17.
