Jane Fonda thanks the audience after accepting an Oscar for Best Performance by an Actress, at the 44th annual Academy Awards, at the Music Center. The Yves Saint Laurent couture pants suit Ms Fonda worn in 1972 while accepting an Oscar for her role in “Klute.” “I bought this Yves Saint Laurent suit right after I gave birth to my daughter in 1968,” Ms. Fonda said. “I decided to wear it to the Oscars when I won for ‘Klute’ because I felt it suited the somber times. Besides, I wasn’t into buying fancy dresses when the Vietnam War was still being fought.”
