This isn’t the first time Jane Fonda has apologized for the infamous 1972 photos that earned her the nickname “Hanoi Jane.” But it seems her apologies have fallen on deaf ears. Her latest mea culpa, in which she calls the photo “a huge, huge mistake,” comes in response to an incident in Maryland on Friday where 50 veterans, protesting her appearance at the Weinberg Center for the Arts, carried signs that read “Forgive? Maybe. Forget? Never.”

That’s right, 43 years later, protests still follow Fonda wherever she goes. There are, in fact, several Facebook groups dedicated to targeting Fonda at every public event. This past Friday, Fonda said she understood the anger and has tried several times to make amends:

Whenever possible I try to sit down with vets and talk with them, because I understand and it makes me sad. It hurts me and it will to my grave that I made a huge, huge mistake that made a lot of people think I was against the soldiers.

Back in 2012, during an episode of Oprah’s Master Class, Fonda tried to explain the context of the photos which depicted her laughing, smiling, and sitting on an anti-aircraft battery:

I was an emotional wreck by [then]. I don’t know if I was set up or not. I was an adult. I take responsibility for my actions. . .These soldiers sang a song; I sang a song in feeble Vietnamese. Everyone was laughing. I was led to a gun site and I sat down. And I was laughing and clapping, and there were pictures taken. . .I understand the anger about that.

Fonda may have regrets about those photos in particular, but she’s never regretted her political activism. In 2005, she defended her choice to visit POWS in Vietnam, saying:

There are hundreds of American delegations that had met with the POWs. Both sides were using the POWs for propaganda. It's not something that I will apologize for.

And on Saturday, the day after Fonda made her most recent apology, the actress appeared on the Italian chat show Che tempo che fa and gleefully demonstrated how her grandson was born with his fist in the air.

A chip off the old block.
