    Jane Fonda says nothing will ever top her first kiss

    The ‘Grace and Frankie’ star had her first ever kiss while she was performing summer stock in Hyannis Port, Maine, where she locked lips with the stage manager James Franciscus, who later went on to star in ‘Mr. Novak’


    And Jane admitted the kiss – which took place at the end of a pier – was the best she’s ever had.

    She recalled during an appearance on ‘The Tonight Show starring Jimmy Fallon’: "I had a crush on the stage manager, whose name was James Franciscus.

    “He walked me out to the end of a pier and he kissed me. The stars began to whirl and the pier began to shake, and my knees gave way and I slid down to a pile at his feet.

    “I've never had a kiss like that ever since.”

    Jane is no stranger to openly discussing her love life, and recently revealed she’s done with “sexual relationships”.

    She said: “I don’t want to be in a relationship, a sexual relationship, again. I don’t have that desire.”

    But the 83-year-old star – who has been married three times, to Roger Vadim, Tom Hayden, and Ted Turner – also revealed she does “fantasise” about sex, and thinks she would be willing to get intimate with a man if she could find a “younger man” who wants to be with her.

    She added: “Do I fantasise? Yes … That I meet a professor or a researcher, somebody in that line who is really capable of loving, of cherishing a woman, so that I could test myself and see if I could show up.

    “I think maybe now I could, but the problem is that, like a man, I would want a younger man. Isn’t that awful? It’s a thing about skin. I would want a younger man, and I’m too vain.”
