Rarely seen star Bridget Fonda, 59, reveals she’s quit Hollywood career for good and will never return to acting
FORMER Hollywood siren Bridget Fonda has revealed she has quit the movies for good and will never return to acting.
The 59-year-old actress, famed for roles in Jackie Brown and Single White Female, said she has surrendered to her “civilian” life.
When asked by paparazzi whether she’d reprise her career in Hollywood, the 90s starlet said: “No.”
Asked if there was any possibility of her returning to the screen, she replied “no” again and explained: “I don’t think so.
“It’s too nice being a civilian.”
Bridget has opted for a quieter existence with her husband Danny Elfman and their son Oliver since her last acting role in 2002 and she has since settled into life as a stay-at-home mum.
Her final film role was in the 2001 movie The Whole Shebang.
Her final role overall was the title role in the TV movie Snow Queen in 2002, and she has not appeared on screen since.
However, she returned to the red carpet in 2009 when she attended the premiere of Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Bastards.
Bridget is part of the famous Fonda family, which also includes her grandfather – Oscar-winner Henry Fonda of Once Upon A Time In The West – and actress and fitness icon Jane Fonda, 85, who is Bridget’s aunt.
But it didn’t take long before Bridget’s career took off with speed as she starred in The Godfather Part III in 1990.
In 1997 she played Melanie in Quentin Tarantino’s action caper Jackie Brown, landing the role after sitting next to him on a plane.
She was photographed for the first time in over a decade last year and was unrecognisable from the Hollywood star fans may have remembered.
Last week the star, who how has silver hair, was seen in a white jumper with black trousers and navy blue shoes as she headed to her car.
