* “Any Wednesday.” Warner. $59.95.

In 1966, three years before she got an Oscar nomination for “They Shoot Horses, Don’t They?” and well before she plunged into political activism, Jane Fonda played one of the most empty-headed, hysterical ingenues in screen history--and did it badly! Fonda’s “Barbarella” was Betty Friedan compared to “Any Wednesday’s” Ellen, a young woman who is seduced by bouquets of balloons into becoming the mistress and corporate write-off of philandering millionaire Jason Robards. Invite your conservative friends over and watch them laugh their heads off.
