Bridget Fonda doesn’t care about keeping up with the Kardashians — or even her aunt Jane Fonda — judging from the first public photos of her in 12 years.

These photos, seen today on her 58th birthday, show the once-svelte and glamorous star, who retired from acting in 2002, looking very different from her red carpet heyday.

I know, right?

[Reily]

Thanks!
I am not adept with the ‘text messaging’ shorthand.

Oh please, Jane Fonda is a surgical botoxed artifact.

[Trailerpark Badass]

She has 3 hands?!

[Valpal1]

Lol, Shatner is a sexy beast with a dad-bod. I’m going to love him forever.

[GOPsterinMA]

IIRC, she was in a very bad car accident, which caused her to retire.

She was…pretty, spunky, sweet.

Happy birthday and here’s to her good health!

I read she quit movies to raise kids but she’s let herself simply collapse ....geez

Same age my wife on my homepage ....the difference is stark and my rib has never been a star

[wardaddy]

Lotsa of Kitty reaction on this thread from both angles....

Hmmm

[wardaddy]

Lol

Boo hoo

[wardaddy]

Amen amen amen and amen again

And it’s likely the number one issue most posters on this forum live in denial over.

[wardaddy]

I guess no one remembers the American version of La Femme Nikita ...

[wardaddy]

Normal folks are not 2-3 times normal bodyweight

Well except maybe here

[leaning conservative]

I read that she was in a very serious car accident about 12 years ago. Might be steroids & other meds. She seems a quiet & private person.

I don’t think anyone would have guessed that was her. I hope she’s happy.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Here’s a hanky to dry your tears.

[LouAvul]

You people crack me up. Better than cliff claven on cheers.

[LouAvul]

She’s also a dike.

[heavy metal]

ain’t fonda that no more...

[Widget Jr]

Definitely. Stress plus finding a way out, either another occupation or a truly compatible spouse, has lead to many in Hollywood getting out of the industry and avoiding publicity.

[Drew68]

She wants to be a normal person and is not demanding attention. Good for her.

Yep. She retired from acting 20 years ago and has been married to film composer Danny Elfman since 2003.

And I doubt this was the first time she's been out in 12 years. Probably just the first time someone recognized her and snapped a photo.

[Drew68]

She supposedly had a bad injury to her back, gave birth, and retired (not necessarily in that order). People should be kinder.

Yep. She broke her back in a car accident in 2003 and is probably lucky simply to be walking.
