Fonda based character on favourite ex-husband

Veteran actress Jane Fonda is grateful for the 10 years she spent with her third ex-husband Ted Turner - because it provided her with the perfect inspiration for her outrageous character Viola in Monster-In-Law.

The Barbarella star, 67, divorced the former media mogul in 2001, but still loves him for his hilarious habit of offending people, a trait she successfully emulated in the hit romantic comedy.
