What was Jane Fonda's last film before her 15-year hiatus?
Jane Fonda won an Oscar for "Klute," worked with her father in "On Golden Pond," and convinced America that leg warmers counted as fashion. Then she married a billionaire and vanished. Over a decade later, "Monster-in-Law" was the exact comeback she needed to remind people she existed. What was her last film before that 15-year hiatus?

Correct Answer: Stanley & Iris
(Source)Considering she was about to marry one of the richest men in the world, I don't blame Jane Fonda for taking a break after a string of disappointing movies. How can you pair Fonda with Robert De Niro, get a score composed by John Williams, and then make one of the most boring movies ever? "Stanley & Iris" was supposed to be a heartwarming story about teaching an illiterate cook to read, but its tagline, "Some people need love spelled out for them," is all you need to know about it. Critics and audiences hated it, and it was her second film in a row to lose more than $10 million. If it were me, 15 years wouldn't have been long enough.
