VIENNA (AP) — American actor Jane Fonda said Wednesday she accepted an Austrian building tycoon's invitation to attend the Vienna Opera Ball because he offered to “pay me quite a bit of money.” The 85-year-old Academy Award and Golden Globe winner said at a news conference with her date, 90-year-old Richard Lugner, that she needed the money to pay her bills and to support her grandchildren. “I support a lot of people,” Fonda said. The opera ball is one of the highlights of the social calendar in Austria and known for a guest list that includes many celebrities.
