Jane Fonda is ending her 14-year retirement from acting to appear in a film opposite Jennifer Lopez.

Fonda will appear in “Monster-in-Law,” playing the difficult mother of Lopez’s fiance, her publicist, Pat Kingsley, said Thursday.

Fonda, 66, last appeared in the 1990 film “Stanley & Iris.” She retired from acting after marrying her now ex-husband, media mogul Ted Turner.

Fonda, a longtime political activist, has recently made public appearances to promote the nonprofit organization V-Day. The group is led by “Vagina Monologues” playwright Eve Ensler and campaigns around the world to combat violence against women.
