French Fonda


In 1963, Fonda returned to France to work on a film with director René Clément, "Les Félins" (1964) meeting and felling in love with Vadim, (fresh from relationships with Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot), a Parisian style leftist intellectual horrified by anything that smacked of the bourgeois who encouraged Fonda--whom he married in 1965--to rid herself of supposedly outmoded qualities like sexual jealousy by introducing her to ploygamous encounters and remaking her image into the type of "sex kitten" that populated his risque films.
