More than just a movie, Klute marked a milestone in Jane Fonda’s career. 

Her long blonde Barbarella locks slashed into a brutal ‘shag’ cut, she deepened her voice and drew on her friendships with the hookers ex-husband Roger Vadim hired for threesomes.

All this to play heartless Bree Daniels, an actress whose sex-worker sideline helps the eponymous ’tec (Donald Sutherland) track a serial killer with a penchant for prozzies.

On her father’s advice, Fonda kept her anti-’Nam views to herself on the Academy podium, but later wept at the realisation that she had won an Oscar while Henry was yet to do so.

Greatest moment: The unrehearsed, unexpected weeping when her would-be killer plays the audio of her slain friend’s last moments.
