Can someone help me here VANITY (Kerry-Fonda connection)

[bigghurtt]

Hey, I've been a poster here for a little while, but haven't really started threads much, so correct me if I'm doing this the wrong way.

I have no problem sifting through photos, and I was wondering if any of you have used the "corbis" image service much...if so, can anyone give me search hints for this service...I would like to go through and see if I can find any more images from the VVAW era that would be helpful to our cause against Jean Cheri...any suggestions would be appreciated. Once again, I'll do the boring part and look through the mountainous amount of photos sure to be rendered by any search, I just need a little help as to how to refine my search to find things more beneficial. Thanks in advance for any help.

also, if you know of any other such sites, this would also be helpful.

thanks again.

Good gallery.

[visualops]

where did the second one come from?

[hmmmmm]

In picture #8, who is next to commie jane? It looks like Donald Sutherland.

[Jaxter]

It is Donald Sutherland. That's right around the time they made the movie 'Klute' in which she played a slut. Type casting, you might say.

[hmmmmm]

*L* That's some type-casting. It's more proof that while some things (apparently not the GOOD things) change, others remain the same.

No matter how much I think about it, I can't begin to imagine a thought process that would make me even lean in the direction these "people" would wish. If only the majority of the press weren't a mouthpiece for the DNC.

The man behind sutherland's arm could be hanoi john...the hair is about right.

That picture was taken in Manila (Philippines) when Fonda et al were there doing anti-war show.
This interesting "liner note" from Country Joe and the Fish sheds some light on events leading up to the Manila shows:

In 1971 my daughter Seven Ann’s mother Robin Menken became friends with Jane Fonda. Jane sent her daughter Vanessa to the Blue Fairyland Nursery School in Berkeley. The Blue Fairyland was run by the leftist commune the Red Family. I worked in the nursery school as a volunteer and Seven went there for several years. So Jane Fonda became a regular in our life at the time.

She, along with Robin Menken and Nina Serrano got this idea for a show called "Free The Army" or FTA, after the GI Movement saying "Fuck The Army" -- in underground code, FTA. Since I had a history of EPs in the past it seemed natural to make a 7 inch EP for the occasion and as a benefit fund raiser for Jane Fonda’s organization in Los Angeles raising money for her anti-Vietnam War activities.

My mouthpiece and partner Bill Belmont coordinated the recording of the three songs with local San Francisco Bay Area musicians. We recorded in the Haight-Ashbury at Funky Features. a recording studio run and engineered by "Funky Jack" Leahey.

Memory now is fuzzy but Bill Belmont’s cousin Chris did most of the art work on the envelope sleeve except for the cover design which I developed from the helmet fist design from a GI anti-war newspaper. Jane Fonda was over at the house the day of working on the cover design talking about the FTA shows with Robin and asked if she could do some inking in of the design; I said sure and she did. I then wrote "cover design by Jane Fonda" below the helmet. I had a feeling that some day in the future Jane would want to distance herself from her anti-Vietnam War activities and wanted it in writing that she did it. She didn’t seem to mind.

I went out with the FTA show with Jane Fonda, Donald Sutherland, Ben Vereen, Robin Menken, and Nina Serrano at several GI coffee houses: Mt. Home Idaho, The Olio Strutt (which mysteriously burned down after we left with some of the records inside) …. Kileen, Texas outside Fort Hood was another show I remember. I played also in Seattle at a GI coffee house, and perhaps a few others. Jane and I got into a fight over her concept of "GIs are just working class guys who don’t know how to spell" and I, being one of those, left the show.

The cast, plus a teen-age Holly Near and others, went on to the Philippines and Japan and made a movie titled FTA! which after a brief opening disappeared from commercial venues and exists only now as a legendary bootleg video.

Nah, that's a black guy. Enlarge the image and you can see that it's an afro.

[BunnySlippers]

"The man behind sutherland's arm could be hanoi john...the hair is about right."

LOL

Yer Honor, that's him, I'd know his hair anywhere

[G.Mason]

"Nah, that's a black guy. Enlarge the image and you can see that it's an afro."

Yep, and I won't even mention that his arm is that of a black man.
