Why Jane Fonda Dropped James Franciscus
Copyright (c) 2006-2023 Paul Kyriazi
Jane Fonda met, soon to be star, James Franciscus in her college drama class. As she wrote in her autobiography, My Life So Far, "James was movie star handsome, smart, literate, and had a sense of humor." He became her first real love.
She goes on to say that Franciscus had a great passion for his epic drama that he was writing. Reading what he had done so far, Fonda said, "It was heroic and profound."
However, two years later, Jane became bored with him. The main reason, she states, was that he hadn't finished writing his drama.
I tell this story to the men in my "James Bond Lifestyle" class to illustrate just how important it is to have a passion for a project. However, once you start a project, be it a book, a trip plan, a new addition to your house, getting a new car, or going to college. After you announce it, be sure to finish it.
There are too many men trying to impress women with, "I'm writing a novel." After having said it, you'd better have it finished in a reasonable amount of time. You'd better have it printed up and hand it to her, before she get's bored like Fonda did with Franciscus turning down his marriage proposal.
James Bond Lifestyle rule, "If you say you'll do something, do it."

mega-star Britney Spears and her husband, rapper Kevin Federline.

couple; his older brother Sean Preston turned one-year-old just
days after Sutton's birth. While the birth of the baby certainly
makes Spears and her family deliriously happy, high-end gift
retailers are probably thrilled, too. You see, the latest trend
in gift giving is to give extravagant gifts at the birth of a new
baby.
