She and Tomei are taking part in a series of world wide events organized by the nonprofit V-Day Foundation, led by “The Vagina Monologues” playwright Eve Ensler to raise money and awareness about violence against women. Fonda said that despite her film success, money and fame, she took the back seat in all three of her marriages. “Behind the closed doors of my marriage, I would give up all my power. I would silence my own voice to be accepted,” the 66-year-old said. “My whole life was about pleasing my man.” Fonda was last married to billionaire media mogul Ted Turner. They wed in 1991 and divorced 10 years later. Tomei, 39, described having performed in “The Vagina Monologues” in the United States as a liber ating experience. “It's important to honor the point of view of the other half of the population and hear the voices of those who are not normally heard,” she said. erning body in this Essex County community.
