Fonda had a crush on the stage manager, James Franciscus, who became the star of the television series "Mr. Novak." Franciscus walked her out to the end of a pier and kissed her.

Fonda narrated that the stars began to whirl, and the pier started shaking. Her knees gave way, making her slide down to a pile at Franciscus's feet. She confessed, "I've never had a kiss like that ever since."

This is not the first time Fonda revealing details of her love life. During an interview in Harper's Bazaar's April issue, she expressed her desire to no longer be in a sexual relationship.

The actress said one of the painful things she realized in her 80s is that she is not really capable of intimacy, adding that if a guy came along and asked her to show up, she would run away scared.
