Tune in alert for the season 2 premiere of "Oprah's Master Class" airing this Sunday.  The premiere episode will feature actress Jane Fonda.

Jane Talks About her Controversial Visit to a Vietnamese Military Site:

"I made one unforgivable mistake when I was in North Vietnam. And I will go to my grave with this.  On my last day, I was taken to a military site.  It’s not something I wanted to do. I was an emotional wreck by now. I don’t know if I was setup or not—I was an adult, I take responsibility for my actions."
Jane Talks About Divorcing Ted Turner:

"And I remember, when I was 62, and I had done something that was very, very, very, very painful and difficult. I had left Ted Turner, my third husband, who I loved very, very much. But I knew that I couldn’t be… I knew that I would die—married, rich, but not whole."

In the episode Jane shares intimate details about her rise to stardom, her decision to divorce Ted Turner, her controversial visit to North Vietnam, overcoming her struggles with body image,  and learning to let go and find self-acceptance.
