WWW- In her 2005 memoirs, “My Life So far,” Jane Fonda acknowledged engaging in threesomes with her first husband, French movie director Roger Vadim, in the early 1970s.
But a soon-to-be-published book claims the 68-year-old Oscar-winning actress was similarly occupied 20 years later- in the early ’90s, with her third husband, media mogul Ted Turner. And this time, the book says, it was on videotape.
“Prisoner of X,” Allan MacDonell’s account of his experiences as an editor at Hustler magazine, describes a purported video in which Fonda, Turner and an unidentified brunette have sex on camera.
MacDonell’s description is too graphic for a family newspaper. Suffice it to say that the purported Fonda is allegedly wearing artificial equipment to pleasure the alleged Turner while he services the brunette and asks the camera operator, “Are you getting this?”
(The racy content was corroborated yesterday by two former Hustler colleagues who say they screened the tape, former editor Mike McPadden and another ex-editor who asked for anonymity.)
Yesterday, Fonda flack Pat Kingsley told me her client was hyping her book in Australia and was hard to reach. The 67-year-old Turner, who divorced Fonda in 2001 after a decade of marriage, was also traveling and “unavailable for comment,” said his spokesman, Phillip Evans.
Hustler publisher Larry Flynt – who, MacDonell writes, unsuccessfully tried to buy the video in 1994 – told me: “I really don’t have any comment on the so-called Ted Turner videotape. Ted Turner and I have been friends for 30 years. I knew Ted before CNN.”
Flynt added that a Turner sex video, if it existed, wouldn’t fascinate him that much anyway: “It’s not like capturing a hypocritical congressman in the sack.”
Never mind, then!
