Fonda, Nicholson Among Latest Famous Californians

SACRAMENTO (AP) ― Hollywood stars Jane Fonda and Jack Nicholson are among the 2008 inductees into the California Hall of Fame.

First Lady Maria Shriver started the program to honor artists, sports figures and others who've helped shape the state.

Other new inductees include musicians Dave Brubeck and Quincy Jones, physical fitness guru Jack LaLanne, sculptor Robert Graham and chef Alice Waters.

"Dr. Seuss" author Theodor Geisel, photographer Dorothea Lange, architect Julia Morgan, scientist Linus Pauling and railroad kingpin and Gov. Leland Stanford will be inducted posthumously at the Dec. 15 ceremony in Sacramento.

Fonda's induction comes more than 29 years after the state Senate rejected her nomination to the California Arts Council because of her campaign against the Vietnam War.
