Veteran actress Jane Fonda cannot believe she is still alive and working at the age of 77 after her wild past.

The co-star of a hit new Netflix comedy series, "Grace and Frankie", Fonda is very much back in vogue and even she is surprised she is still relevant, reported Contactmusic.

"I'm surprised I'm still getting opportunities because, for women, once you reach 40 or 50 it's very difficult to find work... Society values youth - and particularly so when it comes to women. It's not fair, but that's the way it is."

"I've always remained very physically active. You don't have to accept any limits beyond what your body allows. I've had hip and knee replacements but can still do an intensive workout. I believe that as you get older your mind can overcome a lot of the failings of your body by maintaining a youthful spirit and a passion for everything life has to offer," she added.
