Bridget Fonda was born on January 27, 1964 in Los Angeles, Calif., USA . Acting was in the blood of Bridget Fonda. She is the granddaughter of Henry Fonda, daughter of Peter Fonda, and niece of Jane Fonda. However inspite of coming from such strong lines of acting she did not use the name of her family to establish her career rather set out to acclaim success in her own right. At the age of five she accompanied her father , Easy Ride to acting schedules . However her parents divorced even when she was very young. Fonda went to live with her mother, actress Susan Brewer, in Los Angeles.
The first acting experience for Bridget Fonda came when she was cast in a school production of Harvey. Sustaining her interest in acting through her teenage years, Fonda went on to study drama at New York's famed Lee Strasberg Institute. Although she suffered severe stage fright during her first two years, she was able to overcome her fears, and, upon leaving the institute two years later, she began to find work on the stage.
She set her foot in acting with a non speaking role in the 1982 comedy Partners. Later Fonda appeared in the critically-acclaimed film A Simple Plan, opposite Bill Paxton and Billy Bob Thornton, and in Quentin Tarantino's Jackie Brown, with Robert De Niro, Samuel Jackson and Michael Keaton.
A self-avowed film fan who loves all movie genres, Fonda has purposely chosen roles in a wide variety of films.
She made her feature debut in Franc Roddam's segment of Aria, a 1988 film composed of short works directed by ten filmmakers. Soon after, she starred in the comedy Shag, with Phoebe Cates, and in 1989, she earned critical acclaim and a Golden Globe nomination as Best Supporting Actress for Scandal, the story of the Profumo Affair which rocked the ruling party of Great Britain in the 1960's.
Fonda's other credits include City Hall, The Road to Wellville, Strapless, The Godfather Part III, Doc Hollywood, Single White Female, and Singles. She also starred in Touch, It Could Happen to You, Little Buddha, Point of No Return and Bodies, Rest and Motion.
