Jane Fonda Remembers Michael Jackson
Actress Jane Fonda may not be the first person that comes to mind when you think of Michael Jackson's long list of celebrity friends, but according to Fonda's blog she and Jackson were close friends, "during the time before he did "The Wiz" and up through 'Thriller.' "
In her blog post, Fonda admits that she tried, but never could fully understand Jackson and his odd habits. She also recounts a time when the two took a walk around her Santa Barbara ranch together.
"I pointed to a spot where I told him I wanted to be buried," Fonda writes. "Michael had a meltdown right then and there when he heard this. He shrieked and bent over and said, 'No, no, no.' "
When she asked him what was wrong, Jackson answered, "Don't ever talk about your dying. Don't ever think about it."
Fonda, like the world, was shocked by the death of the pop star, but she is thankful that he passed quickly.
"Massive heart attacks that you don't recover from are quick. You don't know what hit you," she writes. "That's probably the kindest death for Michael. It's hard to imagine him being happy as he aged."
