Fonda, Tomei to take the stage in
Bombay version of ‘Vagina Monologues’
TOMEI
BOMBAY, India (AP) — Jane Fonda and Marisa
Tomei are joining Indian and Pakistani actresses in
performances of “The Vagina Monologues’’ on a
Bombay stage to mark Monday’s International
Women's Day, the movie stars said.
“Violence comes in many forms and affects women
all over the world,” said Fonda, who is to appear in
three performances.
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.

He and his wife, Jean, moved here four years and have restored a
1906 Georgian mansion in the township's Upper Montclair section.
Strahan has been active in several local and national charitable caus

Society, and Housing Enterprises for the Less Fortunate.

Several decades into music, Bowie to

BOWIE
TOKYO (AP) — David Bowie, pushing 60, says he’s
headed for another experimental phase.
Speaking in Tokyo to start this week’s Japan leg of
his world tour, Bowie said he’s stripping down his act
to try out some new approaches.
“I’m heading for another period of experimenta
tion,” he said. “(I’m at) a time when I’m collecting
myself before I break all my own rules.”
The iconic artist has gone through various per

American Film Institute honors Keaton
with AFI Star Award for comedy
Former NFL star to vie for seat on Essex
County Township Council
MONTCLAIR, NJ. (AP) — New York Giants defensive end Michael
Strahan has a different kind of victory in mind: a seat on the local
Township Council.
Strahan, 32, said Sunday that he'd seek an at-large seat on the gov
Ziggy Stardust, the Thin White Duke, Philadelphia soul man, avant-
garde rocker.
Now, he said, he wants to focus on his songwriting and singing.
“It's probably the simplest tour that I’ve ever done,” he said, dressed
in gray cargo pants and a hooded sweat shirt. “This is very stripped
down. It’s really not working with theatrics at all.”
The tour is Bowie’s first world tour since 1995. He released his latest
album, Reality, last September.
The 57-year-old said it's harder to get his music heard these days,
especially on radio stations, because of his age. But he added that he
enjoys seeing life get simpler as he ages.
“I was quite scared of getting old in my 40s,” he said, “But as I
approach 60 ... you learn to embrace getting older.”
