PICTURED: Jackie Brown star Bridget Fonda, 59, looks unrecognizable as she’s seen on rare public outing 20 YEARS after she left the limelight to focus on family with Danny Elfman

Nineties actress Bridget Fonda looked nearly unrecognizable as she stepped out for a rare outing in Los Angeles, California, on Friday.

The former Hollywood starlet, 59, who retired from acting in 2002 after appearing in a number of critically-acclaimed films, sported a casual ensemble while running errands. 

Fonda – who was last seen in September of 2022 – donned a comfortable oversized white sweater along with a pair of black pants, and navy sneakers. 

The star – who also appeared in The Godfather Part III – accessorized with a black crossbody purse.

The mother-of-one wore her silver tresses brushed back into a ponytail, and sported black-rimmed eyeglasses. 

Throwback: The former Hollywood star shot to fame during the 90s when she appeared in a string of movies, including Quentin Tarantino’s 1997 film Jackie Brown (pictured) however she retired from acting in 2002

She appeared to go makeup-free while enjoying the sunny day out. 

Fonda held a cellphone in her hand and a stack of papers in the other as she ran errands. 

It was a rare sighting of the star, who was last pictured out in September of 2022, while doing some shopping at a landscaping supply store.

Prior to that she was seen publicly in January of that year, while running errands with husband Danny Elfman, 69, and their 18-year-old son Oliver.

Before that, the actress was last photographed in 2009 – more than a decade earlier – while attending the premiere of Quentin Tarantino’s World War II flick Inglorious Bastards.

It’s been said that Fonda stepped out of the spotlight so she could focus on raising her son, and the family has been living on a ranch in Santa Barbara. 

Fonda, who comes from a long line of famous actors – her grandfather is acclaimed movie star Henry Fonda, her dad is actor Peter Fonda, and her aunt is well-known icon Jane Fonda – began acting at the young age of four in the 1969 movie Easy Rider.

She made her mark on the acting world throughout the ’80s and ’90s after snagging key roles in a number of box office hits.

History: Fonda comes from a long line of famous actors – her grandfather is acclaimed movie star Henry Fonda, her dad is actor Peter Fonda, and her aunt is well-known icon Jane Fonda

The start: She began acting at the young age of four in the 1969 movie Easy Rider

She famously starred as fear-plagued protagonist Allison ‘Allie’ Jones in the classic 1992 thriller Single White Female. 

That same year, she appeared alongside Matt Dillion in the Cameron Crowe-directed romantic comedy Singles.

In 1997, Fonda graced the silver screen with Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Pam Grier in Tarantino’s crime-drama Jackie Brown.

Her other big acting credit include the drama Scandal, rom-com You Can’t Hurry Love, comedy Shag, The Godfather III (alongside Al Pacino and Diane Keaton), action flick Point of No Return, action thriller Kiss of the Dragon, The Whole Shebang in 2001, and TV movie Snow Queen.

In 2003, she was involved in a serious car accident after she drove off an embankment while it was raining heavily. 

She suffered from ‘a slight fracture of two thoracic vertebrae,’ according to BBC, but made a full recovery.

She then decided to end her acting career in order to start a family with her husband, Danny, 68 – who has two daughters, Lola and Mali, from his previous marriage to Geri Eisenmenger; the couple welcomed son Oliver in 2005.

In 2020, the couple sold their two adjacent mansions in Los Angeles for a combined price tag of $14.6 million and moved to a ranch instead.

While initially they only planned on staying there for a month during lockdown, they ultimately ended up deciding to make it their permanent home.
