Bridget Fonda, 59, reveals the real reason she’ll never return to acting in rare outing
One needs only go back to the ’80s and ’90s to find a period when the actress was regularly being cast in big productions. The world, it seemed, was at her feet, and she had the potential to become a household name in the vein of her famous father, Peter Fonda, and his father, Henry Fonda, before him.
Having made her breakthrough in the 21 Jump Street TV series (1989), she went on to appear in a handful of films before featuring in The Godfather Part III. Fonda would later land roles in such hits as Point Of No Return (1993), Jackie Brown (1997), and Lake Placid (1999).
Yet her burgeoning career abruptly came to a grinding halt in 2002 when the actress, then in her 30s, decided to take a step back from the limelight and leave the glitz and glam of Hollywood behind.

At the time, rumors regarding the reasoning behind her shock exit – after all, she’d appeared in one film a year for more than a decade – were abound.
The general consensus was that she wanted to focus more on her family with partner Danny Elfman – the pair married in 2003, one year after Fonda stopped making movies – but irrespective of the motive behind her departure from the entertainment industry, the now-59-year-old has no plans to return to her former profession.
According to reports, Bridget was recently spotted out in public with son Oliver on Monday, April 17 at Los Angeles International Airport.
