Jane Fonda fears career may be over!
Jane Fonda has been in such debilitating pain from an injured knee, she fears it will bring down the curtain on her legendary career.
The 71-year-old Oscar winner was relieved her Broadway play 33 Variations closed three days earlier than scheduled.
"Jane is terrified she’ll have to call it quits," revealed a pal. "The pain is crippling.
"She said, ‘I don’t know if I can do it anymore!’"
In her last few appearances in New York, the acclaimed actress was hurting, but she gamely hobbled onstage with the help of a cane.
Fonda underwent knee surgery and a hip replacement after years of demonstrating her aerobic routines, but she has put off an additional operation.
She recently revealed on her blog: "My knee went out during the Letterman Show (on May 19). I was supposed to have a knee replacement in January, but when I accepted to do the play, I postponed the surgery and got cortisone shots.
"You are allowed one shot every three months. The last one was only effective six weeks, but the doctor said I could get another one to tide me over till the surgery, which has been rescheduled for mid-June."
But Jane reveals she began experiencing terrible pain because the cortisone "isn’t working anymore" and adds that the "pain and limping are exhausting."
Shortly after her play closed May 21, the star had to ask for a wheelchair when she flew to her Atlanta home.
In October last year, The ENQUIRER revealed Jane asked ex-husband Ted Turner to lend her his jet to fly her to the Mayo Clinic’s Florida branch after her chronic hip and back pain became too much to take.
Said the pal: "Jane is a fighter, and it will take a lot to keep her down!"
