Jane has just returned from the Cannes Film Festival in France, where she presented the coveted scroll for the Palme d’Or to director Justine Triet for her winning film, Anatomy of a Fall.
At the airport, the Barbarella star sparkled in a black jacket over a purple sweater and black pants.
She matched with a pair of black shoes, sunglasses and black face mask.
Jane clutched a small loungefly-styled bag on her lap.
The two-time Oscar winner sat comfortably as she was wheeled around the busy airport, pointing the way and barking out directions for her helpers.
CANCER DIAGNOSIS
Jane, who recently starred in the ensemble film 80 for Brady, announced last September that she had been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
“This is a very treatable cancer. 80% of people survive, so I feel very lucky.”
Fonda detailed part of her treatment plan, explaining how long she’d be receiving chemotherapy.
She also shared that she’d be continuing with her activism.
“I’m doing chemo for 6 months and am handling the treatments quite well and, believe me, I will not let any of this interfere with my climate activism,” she said.
Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma is a type of cancer where lymphocytes grow abnormally, which can result in tumors forming throughout the body.

Fonda has had a history of cancer that dates back years.
In 2010, she battled breast cancer and had a lumpectomy.
Then in 2018, Fonda shared that she’d had a cancerous growth removed from her lower lip.
REMISSION
Fortunately, just a few months after revealing her battle, the former exercise guru announced she was in remission.
She shared the good news on her website, calling the update from her oncologist the “best birthday present ever!!!”
Jane celebrated her 85th birthday on December 21st.
“Last week I was told by my oncologist that my cancer is in remission and I can discontinue chemo,” she wrote in a blog post.
“I am feeling so blessed, so fortunate.
“I thank all of you who prayed and sent good thoughts my way.
“I am confident that it played a role in the good news.”
Fonda shared that while her first chemo treatments were simple, the last session was “rough and lasted 2 weeks making it hard to accomplish much of anything.”
She said that the effects of the chemo wore off once she was in Washington DC, at the Fire Drill Fridays rally, where she did some lobbying and spoke about climate change.
