NEED TO KNOW In an interview with The Times, Jane Fonda shared the unexpected item she wears to bed The actress also opened up about her personal style and gray hair Fonda first embraced her gray hair at the 2020 Academy AwardsJane Fonda isn't trying to impress anyone. In a style interview with The Times published on Saturday, July 19, the 87-year-old actress revealed what she wears to bed. 'A flannel nightgown — because I'm single,' she shared. 'I never wore them when I was with a man.' Fonda married French filmmaker Roger Vadim in 1965. During their eight-year marriage, the two lived in Paris and welcomed daughter Vanessa. The actress then wed activist Tom Hayden in 1973 and the two had son Troy Garity. In 1991, she found love again with CNN founder Ted Turner and the pair were married to for 10 years. She began dating record producer Richard Perry in 2009 and the couple split in 2017. While speaking with The Times, the Grace and Frankie star added that yoga pants are her most "treasured" item of clothing "because they are easy to put on and take off and they're comfortable." ! When asked to describe her style, Fonda used one word: "Simple!" However, she noted that her wardrobe has been more vibrant lately. "Since my hair has gone gray, I wear more color, including yellow and green," she explained. "Even I can look good in those colors, and not a lot of people can say that." Fonda first ditched her longtime blonde locks when she took the stage to present Best Picture at the 2020 Academy Awards sporting a gray pixie cut. She also wore a recycled crimson beaded Elie Saab gown she previously wore to Cannes in 2014.

A Pack of April Fools
Image Aretha Franklin, who was not known to suffer fools. Credit... Richard Perry/The New York Times Happy April Fools' Day, when you can't believe anything you read on the internet! Trust that this playlist is a prank-free space, though: We're just gathering up some of the many fools who have been immortalized in song over the years, by soul singers (Aretha Franklin), blues legends (Bobby 'Blue' Bland) and new wavers (Bow Wow Wow). Country and classic rock are in the mix, too — there's a little something for everyone who's ever fooled around and fell in love. So hit play, give those dubious corporate social media posts a miss and we'll try to ride this out together. Everybody plays the fool sometime, Dave Dionne Warwick sang this Burt Bacharach-Hal David theme song for a 1969 romantic comedy starring Jack Lemmon and Catherine Deneuve before Aretha Franklin covered it on her 'Young, Gifted and Black' LP three years later. The intro to the Queen of Soul's arrangement is giving 'Jingle Bells,' but it quickly settles into a soulful boogie with a soaring chorus where new love is trailed by doubt: 'Are we just April fools / who can't see all the danger around?' ▶ Listen on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube What a chorus on this one: Michael McDonald's blue-eyed soul swoops upward into a falsetto that's almost Bee Gees-level. Does it matter that absolutely no one can tell what they're singing on the high part? It does not. (For the record, it's 'No wise man has the power to reason away.') ▶ Listen on Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube My interest in Led Zeppelin has waxed and waned; I needed an extended post-high school detox after years of hearing the St. Louis classic rock station 'get the Led out' every afternoon at quitting time. But listening with fresh ears — and digging deeper than what you'd find in a Cadillac commercial — it's undeniable that Led Zep has dozens of slappers, like this cut from 'In Through the Out Door' (1979). Maybe I need to catch that 'Becoming Led Zeppelin' movie after all. Thank you for your patience while we verify access.
