    The actress retired from acting back in 2002 after appearing in several critically acclaimed films such as Tarantino’s 1997 film Jackie Brown and the thriller Single White Female.

    It is understood the film star decided to step out of the limelight so that she could focus on her family life at her lavish ranch in the sunny hills of Santa Barbra.

    Bridget is part of Hollywood’s famed Fonda Dynasty, along with her grandfather Henry, father Peter and aunt Jane.

    Earlier this week, she was captured wearing a comfortable oversized white sweater which she teamed with a pair of black trousers and navy-blue trainers.

    She accessorised her ensemble with a black leather crossbody bag which housed all of her essential items and sported a pair of black-rimmed glasses.

    Bridget pulled her silver tresses back into a loose ponytail as she embraced her natural beauty by going make-up free for her sunny day out.

    The shy actress could be seen holding a mobile phone in her hand with a stack of papers in the other as drove around LA in her silver luxury Land Rover.

    She appeared to keep her head down while walking past the paparazzi as she carried out her errands.

    The actress was previously pictured out and about back in September 2022 where she was spotted doing some shopping with her 18-year-old son Oliver.

    The pair had quite the shopping list in mind as they ventured out to a landscaping supply store together.

    Before she retired from acting, the film star managed to get a number of great films under her belt.

    Bridget’s breakthrough role came as she played a journalist in The Godfather Part III, who quickly received rave reviews following its release in 1990.

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

    Later that year, she also worked on romantic comedy Singles alongside actor Matt Dillon.

    In 1997, she, she bizarrely happened to be on the same flight as legendary director Quentin Tarantino who, after meeting her, offered her the role of leading lady Melanie in Jackie Brown.

    The star shared the screen with Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Pam Grier in the box office hit.

    Her other big acting credits include the drama Scandal, rom-com You Can't Hurry Love, comedy Shag, action movie Point of No Return, thriller flick Kiss of the Dragon, The Whole Shebang and TV movie Snow Queen.

    Bridget's final major acting role was in the hit role Kiss of the Dragon back in 2001 before she retired from acting.

    In 2003, the actress was involved in a serious car accident after she drove off an embankment in heavy rain.

    The star suffered from "a slight fracture of two thoracic vertebra" according to the BBC, but has since gone on to make a full recovery.

    Since then she has lived out her days on her family ranch with her husband Danny – who has two daughters, Lola and Mali, from his previous marriage to Geri Eisenmenger.

    In 2020, the happy couple sold their two adjacent mansions in Los Angeles for an eye-watering price tag of $14.6million dollars which they invested into their ranch.

    While the pair initially only planned to live on the ranch for a few months during the global pandemic, they ultimately decided to make it their permanent home.
