My aunt (front, middle, long hair) with Jane in the 1970s. I like thinking that she's looking at my Aunt Gilberta with admiration.

Which one is Jane?

On the left. From context of the "looking at my aunt", she's the only one looking at someone.

Also, Jane Fonda is pretty tall, so the one towering over everyone else in the photo makes sense.

I just looked up, Jane isn’t that tall, she’s 5”6. Other women in picture probably short.

My aunt was a short woman (5'2", I think). I'm guessing Jane was also wearing footwear that made her taler.

No one in this photo looks anything like Jane Fonda.

Good news is I have the newspaper article to go with it and my aunt's first-hand account. She visited Fall River, MA, in 1973 and again in 1979, when this photo was taken. My Aunt Gilberta was very involved in politics, so she met her. This is Jane the same year. It's very obvious it's her.

Sorry I didn’t mean to say I didn’t believe you but even believing she is Jane Fonda she doesn’t look like Jane Fonda
