Jane Fonda regrets not being 'a better parent'

Hollywood legend Jane Fonda says she wishes she had been a better mother to her children.

The two-time Oscar-winning actress has three children, Mary Luana Williams, 49, who she adopted as a teen, and Vanessa Vadim, 48, and Troy Garity, 43, from previous relationships.

The 79-year-old star, in an interview with actress Brie Larson for Net-a-Porter's The Edit, says she is still trying to earn her children's love, said The Hollywood Reporter.

"I regret that I wasn't a better parent. I didn't know how to do it. But you can learn, so I studied how to be a parent. It's never too late. I am trying to make up for what I didn't know before. When I die, I want my family to be around me. I want them to love me and I have to earn that. I'm still working at it.
