Outspoken actress Jane Fonda opened up to Oprah Winfrey about her recent battle with breast cancer.
In a new interview that will air on OWN Sunday, April 14, the 75-year-old called this phase in life her "third act," which she finds to be "exhilarating."
Fonda explained, "I think it's wonderful. The fact that I made it and I'm all in one piece. You know a couple years ago I got breast cancer, and that was a good test, because I always said I'm not afraid of dying. And I wasn't. I mean, I felt, god, I've just joined a family of millions of women who have gone through this. And how interesting. What a journey this is going to be. [I thought], you know, maybe I'll make it and maybe I won't. I didn't get scared. I hope I don't die. But I'm not scared of dying."

At "73 and a half," Jane Fonda still looks fabulous. In the September issue of Harper's Bazaar, the Oscar-winning actress, author and fitness guru talks about the release of her latest book, "Prime Time," -- and how she finally learned to love her body.
