KANSAS CITY, Mo. Apr 20, 2005 — A man spit tobacco juice into the face of actress Jane Fonda after waiting in line to have her sign her new book, police said.

The man ran off but was quickly caught by police Tuesday night and charged with disorderly conduct.

Jennings said the actress never got up from her seat and continued autographing books after the tobacco juice was wiped off.

"The important thing is that she was so calm and so gracious about it," Jennings said of Fonda. "She was wonderful."

Jennings said that the man had a book to which the name "Jody" had been affixed as he approached to have it autographed. She said that when Fonda got the book, she looked up and said, "You're not Jody."

"At that moment, he turned his head quickly and spit a trail of tobacco juice," Jennings said. "He immediately jumped off the stage and started running down the aisle."

She didn't press charges. Earlier she had a standing ovation after her speech.

Rude, fat, sloppy man spits in the face of a woman 13 years his senior and runs away. She didn't press charges. Oh, yeah. She should be assassinated, according to some people who want you to see them as heroes saving the world from small poor people.

My husband was in Viet Nam and he moved on as soon as he got back, like other well-balanced people did.
