Her father served in the Navy during World War II.

Henry Fonda tacked mostly left in his young adult years, but never as far left as his starring role in The Grapes of Wrath might imply. By the time his daughter was embarrassing herself and her family on the world political stage, he had tacked quite a ways back to the commonsense conservatism of his Nebraska youth. He once said to Jane, according to her own report, that he no longer believed the leftist vision of the world, and thought communism was specious nonsense, or words to that effect.

I think a good part of Jane Fonda's acting out over the decades is a manifestation of a deep electra complex, a psychodrama more about her own family than about any honestly and competently held political beliefs.
