Fondavision: On Golden Pond (1981)

b'Danita and Emily are back from their winter break and ready to backflip into Jane Fonda\'s filmography! In this new episode of WRLH! miniseries Fondavision, they revisit the movie that Jane made to get her estranged father, Henry, an Oscar: 1981 sappy smash On Golden Pond. Did Jane really have beef with Katharine Hepburn on set, or is this another Debra Winger/Shirley MacLaine situation? How does Norman and Chelsea\'s strained relationship (which includes him ignoring her, criticizing her weight, and being unafraid to tell her he doesn\'t like her) compare to Jane and Henry\'s? And can this movie, which asks a "self-conscious" woman to forgive a grumpy old man who should know better, still stir up the same emotions today, when so many daughters of fathers have gone to therapy?'
