Veteran actor Jane Fonda has announced that a sequel to her hit 1980 comedy "9 to 5" might happen soon. The 80-year-old actor said her co-stars from the original, Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton, will also be back for the sequel, reported Entertainment Weekly. "My role is as an executive producer, and I'm working with the writers, with Lily, and talking to the writers," Fonda told reporters.

"Right now, Dolly, Lily and I are all intending to be in it," she added. The actor was promoting the upcoming HBO documentary "Jane Fonda in Five Acts" which will debut on September 24. The sequel has been long in the making and earlier this year, Rashida Jones came aboard the project to co-write a script with original screenwriter Patricia Resnick.
