Jane Fonda penned a heartfelt tribute to her late co-star and ex, Donald Sutherland, following his death at age 88 in Miami after a long illness. The pair worked together on the 1971 film "Klute," where they played Bree Daniels and John Klute, respectively, and dated during that time. This collaboration earned Fonda her first best actress Oscar. Fonda shared a black and white photo from the set, reminiscing about their time together and various adventures they shared. Sutherland, who confirmed in a 2018 interview that they were lovers for a few years, leaves behind a legacy of over 200 TV and film credits, including roles in "M.A.S.H." and the "Hunger Games" franchise. Survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren, Sutherland is remembered as one of the most important actors in the history of film, leading a life well-lived.
