A collaboration with Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, Inc.

In 1962, Lincoln Center initiated a program to commission posters by prominent artists for the then newly-built performing arts complex. The brainchild of philanthropist Vera List and her husband, the poster program expanded in 1970 to include limited-edition, signed, and numbered fine art prints. The exhibition presents a selection of posters and prints from the program’s past 50 years by renowned artists Helen Frankenthaler, Roy Lichtenstein, Robert Motherwell, Robert Rauschenberg, and Andy Warhol, among others.

An exhibition organized by the Kent State University Museum.

Katharine Hepburn knew the importance of costume in defining character and drawing the audience into a story. She had a sure sense of what would work for her. Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen includes costumes Katharine Hepburn kept in her personal collection of performance clothes, wardrobe which she wore for publicity, and examples of “rebel chic” from her casual and rehearsal wear. Augmented with film stills, posters and playbills, the exhibition spans her long career in theater, film, and television. Wonderful designers are represented with stage costumes by Valentina, Howard Greer, Cecil Beaton, and Jane Greenwood, as well as film costumes by Walter Plunkett, Irene, Muriel King, and Margaret Furse. The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts presentation will also include costume research, sketches and comments from Hepburn’s correspondence, and scripts and notebooks in the Katharine Hepburn Papers of The New York Public Library for the Performing Arts.

The Private Life of a Public WomanJane Fonda

P A T R I C I A B O S W O R T H

Bosworth goes behind the image of an

American superwoman, reveal ing Jane

Fonda — more power ful and vulnerable

than ever expected — whose struggles

for high achievement, love, and success-

ful motherhood mirror the confl icts of a

generation of women.

In the hands of this seasoned, tenacious biographer, the evolution of one of the century’s most controversial

and successful women becomes nothing less than a great, enthralling American life. Jane Fonda emerged from a heart-breaking Hollywood family drama to be-come a ’60s onscreen ingénue and then an Oscar-winning actress. At the top of her game she risked all rising against the Vietnam War and shocking the world with a trip to Hanoi. Later, while becom-ing one of Hollywood’s most committed feminists, she financed her husband Tom Hayden’s political career in the ’80s with exercise videos that began a fitness craze and brought in millions of dollars. Just as interesting is Fonda’s next turn, as a Step-ford Wife of the Gulfstream set, marrying Ted Turner and seemingly walking away from her ideals and her career. Fonda’s is a story of the blend of deep insecurity, magnetism, bravery, and de-termination that fuels the most inspiring and occasionally infuriating public lives. Finally here is Fonda and all the lives she’s led.

PAT R I C I A B O S W O R T H, a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, has known Fonda since they were students at the Actors Studio and has been writing about her since 1968. Bosworth has also written acclaimed biographies of Mont-gomery Clift, Diane Arbus, and Marlon Brando. She lives in New York.

“Watching Jane Fonda wrestle with her many passions has been one of the most fas-cinating stories of the past fifty years. Brilliant, beautiful, achingly vulnerable, self- wounding, Fonda is one of the greatest film stars to ever appear on the screen. Her life deserves to be reevaluated as it is in Patricia Bosworth’s Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman.” — Alec BAldwin

“Jane Fonda was born with beauty and talent. Now she’s blessed with a biographer who knows Hollywood and understands the human condition. Nothing about Fonda’s life (her obsession with her looks, her lovers, her husbands, her money, and her elusive father) escapes the keen eye of Patricia Bosworth, who tells the life story of one of the most intriguing women of our era. You will be enthralled.”

— Kitty Kelley, author of Oprah: A Biography

“Patricia Bosworth’s brilliant detective work has unearthed so much about Jane Fonda that I didn’t know — so much feeling, so much courage, so much hurt. It reveals Fonda as the archetypal woman of her generation: a woman torn between love and work, family and accomplishment. Bosworth’s book is far from another Hollywood biogra-phy; it is a human portrait and, at the same time, a major American life. Reading this book, living Jane’s life along with her, is an adventure and a pleasure.”

— williAm mAnn, author of Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn

“Far more than a spellbinding biography. Jane Fonda sweeps the reader into a cultural history of the ’60s, ’70s, and ’80s, when this icon helped define the causes of the era. The access gained by Bosworth is impressive — lovers, stepmothers, and ex-husbands share their secrets, adding to what will certainly become the definitive portrait of a woman conflicted, torn between ferocious ambition, family, and feminist causes. Bosworth’s rendering of Fonda’s interior chaos becomes a revealing probe into the female psyche.” — GAil Sheehy, author of Passages

“Patricia Bosworth has written an irresistible biography of the accomplished, contro-versial actress whose roles onscreen and off helped define a generation. Whether you love Jane Fonda or abhor her, Jane Fonda: The Private Life of a Public Woman is a detailed and generous exploration not only of the contradictory world Fonda grew up in but of the many people who shaped her.”

— JeAnnette wAllS, author of The Glass Castle
