I saw Jane Fonda on the "Colbert Report" just lately, promoting her new movie. Anyone who saw it, knows what I'm talking about when I say that she got the best of Stephen Colbert during the interview.
While watching this program, I began to wonder what it would be like to meet Jane and her husband Ted Turner during the time when they were married from 1991 to 2001. They are both such independent and strong-minded individuals.
Over the years, I have read books on Jane Fonda's life, but not much on Ted Turner's - besides newspaper and magazine articles.
CNN: the Inside Story, by Hank Whittemore, is a good introduction to understanding Turner's personality.
TBS, the Superstation, was just getting a good start when Ted Turner started brainstorming about an all-news cable television station. Willing to gamble everything, he set out to accomplish this very goal when people said it wouldn't fly. Those naysayers were proven wrong.
CNN: the Inside Story is on the second second floor under the call number 070.433 WHI.
