Like her idols, Jane Fonda and Cher and Dolly Parton, Rinna plans to keep powering on for decades. “My husband’s working with Jane Fonda right now, and she said to him, ‘Harry, I’m 85 years old and I’m doing more movies than I’ve ever done in my career.’ I mean, if that doesn’t give you hope to keep going, and not sell yourself short, I don’t know what does!”
