Jane Fonda, one of the most famous and enduring actors of our time, will be gracing Kiwi fans with her presence when she touches down in the country this week.

Fonda spoke about her film Book Club which is currently showing in cinemas in New Zealand.

The 80-year-old two-time Academy Award winner will be holding a one-night-only show to talk about her extraordinary journey as an actress, writer, activist and fitness guru after rising to prominence on screen in the 1960s.

The ageless Hollywood star has starred alongside acting greats Anthony Perkins, Katharine Hepburn, Robert De Niro and Robert Redford during her decades-long career, and received seven Oscar nominations for her work.
