Megyn sat down with Oscar-winning screen icon Jane Fonda on Wednesday, and in an ill-advised and poorly convinced move, decided to ask the 79-year-old actress to detail the plastic surgery she has had done over the years.

Glancing at today’s headlines, you would be forgiven for feeling a sense of numbed and weary resignation. British actor Alan Rickman, beloved for his roles in movies like Die Hard and the Harry Potter series, is dead of cancer at the age of 69—mere days after we already suffered another tragic death in David Bowie, also of cancer, also at the age of 69.
