Jane Fonda took aim at the blockbuster Paramount-WBD mega-merger and what she described as government efforts to silence free speech on Sunday night (June 14) at the all-star Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert For the First Amendment event at New York’s Town Hall. The gathering organized by the Committee For the First Amendment — a group originally formed in 1947 during the McCarthy Red-scare era that included Fonda’s father, actor Henry Fonda — featured a fiery speech from the 80 For Brady actress, as well as performances from Bette Midler, Rufus Wainwright and Patti Smith.
