Jane Fonda's star-studded birthday bash supports GCAPP

Jane Fonda celebrated her 80th birthday in Buckhead Saturday night by gathering some of her closest friends to support the Georgia Campaign for Adolescent Power & Potential, which she founded in 1995.

The event at The Whitley, the hotel formerly known as The Ritz-Carlton, Buckhead, was themed "Eight Decades of Jane" and raised $1.3 million.

Media mogul and global environmentalist Ted Turner, the guy Fonda often calls her "favorite ex-husband," attended along with Rosanna Arquette, Catherine Keener, Pat Mitchell, Eve Ensler, Paula Weinstein, Sara Blakely and Troy Garity.
