The organizers of the Basque film festival Fantasiazko eta Beldurrezko Zinemaren XXI Astea, aka the Twenty-First Fantasy and Terror Film Festival, have borrowed a couple of iconic characters from the classic erotic space adventure Barbarella for their 2010 program. The two models above don’t look nearly as good as John Phillip Law and Jane Fonda did in 1968, but then again, who does? The festival starts today in Donostia-San Sebastian, Pais Vasco, Spain.

Assorted covers of the French nudie mag Paris Flash, with Mylène Demongeot, Jane Fonda, Catherine Jourdan and others. 

Two covers and assorted interior images of American actress Jane Fonda from the pages of Triunfo, Spain's most popular counterculture magazine during the dark years of the Franco dictatorship. Triunfo and the University of Salamanca have combined to put most of the magazine's extensive catalog online, and you can check it out here.

Five Screen covers with, top to bottom, the always wonderful Ann-Margret, followed by Jane Fonda, Urusula Weiss, Elke Sommer, and lastly, someone we don't recognize. Concerning Miss Weiss, we found no references to her anywhere online, but we did find two actresses named Ursula—not Urusula—Weiss. One acted in the 1950s, so she’s out as a possibility, and one acted in a film in 2000, which would make her an egg when this 1977 cover came out. We’ll keep looking. Not knowing won’t keep us up nights, but it’s always good to fill in these blanks. If you know anything, feel free to drop us a line.

Above: a great promo shot of Jane Fonda in the sexy space suit from her film Barbarella, 1967, shot by British photographer David Hurn. They don't make movies like Barbarella anymore. It's outrageously fun, a little dumb, and aimed at adults. It was based on a hit French comic series of the same name by Jean-Claude Forest, which we'll have to get our hands on one day. This is Fonda's second appearance as one of our femmes fatales, and what an appearance. 

This nice issue of Ilustrovana Politika, or Illustrated Politic, was published in the former Yugoslavia. During that unpleasantness known as the Cold War the country was communist ruled but non-aligned, a political stance that resulted in an influx of both Soviet and Western European influences. Movie stars such as Sofia Loren, Brigitte Bardot, and Virna Lisi were featured on hundreds of Yugoslav magazines. American stars snuck in too. This particular cover, featuring Jane Fonda, appeared forty-two years ago this month.

What would sci-fi be without Jane Fonda? Just watching her overheat Dr. Durand Durand’s Excessive Machine is enough to get your juices flowing. We have several Barbarella posters, but we’ll save those until their premiere dates. Meantime, here’s a promo shot from Barbarella. Jane Fonda turns 61 today.
