Fonda's exciting big screen return

Actress Jane Fonda is yearning for cameras on her new movie to start rolling - because she's desperate to see how the film-making process has evolved during her 14-year break.

The veteran Barbarella star, 66, is teaming up with movie beauty Jennifer Lopez in Monster-in-law, and Fonda admits she's eager to test her acting skills after such a long spell away from film studios.

She says: "I didn't miss it. I am a very different person than I was curious about how that would translate to the screen."

In the movie, Fonda plays a TV newswoman and mother thrown into turmoil when her show is axed.
