Jane Fonda, 71, and fiance Richard Perry will tie the knot in a Christmas ceremony attended by two of her three ex-husbands.

Showing no signs of slowing down, actress Jane Fonda is planning to marry for a fourth time at the age of 71 and has invited two of her ex-husbands. Jane will marry Hollywood music producer Richard Perry, 67, who she was introduced to by her actress niece Bridget Fonda a year ago. According to reports Fonda will invite her second and third husbands, former politician Tom Hayden and media mogul Ted Turner, to the wedding, at which Troy Garity, her actor son by Hayden, will give her away. Jane has told friends she is planning an ‘unconventional union’. ‘She made the announcement during a dinner party at the Malibu home of Barbra Streisand and James Brolin, and now it’s the biggest open secret in showbiz.,’ said a friend.

The Oscar winner’s first husband, French director Roger Vadim, who turned her into an international sex symbol in the film Barbarella, died in 2000. A source close to her revealed: ‘After her divorce from Ted, Jane vowed she’d never wed again. ‘But at this point in her life she has learned to trust her gut instincts and her gut tells her that Richard is a keeper. ‘They fit like a glove, clearly love each other, and share a lot of common pastimes, in­- cluding a keen interest in politics.’ The source said: “The only sense in which she’s a ‘peacenik’ these days is that she wants peace to rule her entire family. So why not invite her two ex-husbands? She’s friends with both now and Jane wants them to share her happiness.
