Angelina Jolie admired Jane Fonda when she was small for these reasons

When Angelina Jolie was small, she admired Jane Fonda. 

She tells her reason, "When Jane Fonda would show up, I'd always want to see what she looked like. I found her fascinating. "Well, being a woman, she looked a certain way — that is, she was beautiful, had a beautiful face and figure. I think my father had a crush on her, too. But it's always more interesting to see how women look, because we can vary our hair and clothes . . . all a man can pretty much do is a beard".

"But beyond that, it was Jane's courage and convictions, her standing up and speaking at a time when she was supposed to just keep quiet and look like a successful actress — that's what I admired about her then."
