Redford and Fonda Reunite on Netflix

Posted on July 18, 2016 at 3:00 pm

Jane Fonda and Robert Redford have great on-screen chemistry, as we’ve seen in two films, and can now look forward to in a third.

In Neil Simon’s Barefoot in the Park they play newlyweds living in a five story walk-up. Corey (Fonda), based on Simon’s first wife, is free-spirited and spontaneous and Paul (Redford) is straightlaced and responsible.

Then they appeared in “The Electric Horseman,” the story of a rodeo star turned corporate spokesman who runs away with his championship horse and is followed by an ambitious newswoman.

And now they are reuniting for “Our Souls at Night,” based on the novel by Kent Haruf about a widow and a widower who reach out to one another for compansionship. It will be wonderful to see them together again.

Trailer: Julie’s Greenroom

Julie Andrews has a new series for kid about the performing arts! I love that idea. STEM is important, of course, but the arts are what fuel the imagination and provide the satisfaction of creative expression. They also promote empathy and cooperation. Can’t wait for this!
