"   Photo: Getty Images  74-year-old Jane Fonda proved she could keep up with the best of them at a special program co-sponsored by the Film Society of Lincoln Center and online journal Joan&amp;#039;s Digest in New York last night. Interviewed by journalist Hilton Als before a screening of her latest film, Peace, Love, &amp;amp;amp; Misunderstanding (which opens tomorrow and has Fonda playing a &amp;#039;60s-style hippie in Woodstock, New York, alongside co-stars Elizabeth Olsen, Chace Crawford, and Catherine Keener), the actress was elegantly coiffed, reed-thin, and smartly dressed in black slacks, boots and a zebra-patterned jacket. She told Als she attended the Cannes Film Festival last month not to meet filmmakers, but because &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m being paid very well by L&amp;#039;Oreal,&amp;quot; something she said covers her bills. &amp;quot;I love working for L&amp;#039;Oreal. Can you imagine a skincare company that has an ambassador who is 74 years old?&amp;quot; Speaking of age, when asked whether there is enough appropriate film work for her and her contemporaries today, Fonda pointed to Meryl Streep, whom she called &amp;quot;the new Harrison Ford.&amp;quot; Streep, who will turn 63 this month, can open a film in August and have it be a hit, Fonda said. Meanwhile, Fonda\u2014who won Oscars for her performances in Klute and Coming Home\u2014said that if young fans recognize her on the street today, &amp;quot;I know exactly what they&amp;#039;re talking about: Monster-in-Law&amp;quot;\u2014in which she plays the scheming, about-to-be mother-in-law of Jennifer Lopez\u2014&amp;quot;not Klute.&amp;quot; But she has a recurring role as the chief executive of a media empire in Aaron Sorkin&amp;#039;s new HBO series, The Newsroom, with her friend, actor Jeff Daniels\u2014her first role in a television series, she said. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s brave, it&amp;#039;s brilliant, I&amp;#039;m just so excited.&amp;quot; And then, before walking off the stage, she pulled out her iPhone and shot photos of the audience and screen behind her\u2014perhaps for her blog?
