Jane Fonda's tribute to Ted Turner has drawn renewed attention following his death. At a 2001 charity auction, the same year their marriage ended, Fonda reportedly spotted Turner and called out, "My favorite ex-husband!" according to People. Fonda later spoke candidly about her feelings. In a CNN interview, she said, "I will never love anyone like I love him," reacting to Turner's 2018 disclosure of his Lewy body dementia diagnosis.
