 She
was born in Los Angeles on January 27th, 1964 in the family of the
renowned actor Peter Fonda and the actress Susan (Brewer) Fonda. She
is their oldest child. Bridget was named after Bridget Hayward, whom
her father was being in love with all the time. All the members of
her family are actors - her grandfather - Henry Fonda; her aunt -
Jane Fonda. In 1972 her parents split and her mother moves to the
Coldwater Canyon section of Los Angeles taking her children with her.
Far away from their father. In an interview concerning her life, Bridget
will share about her family and home: "When I was a kid, the
most important thing for me was my home. People would come and go,
and things would change, but that place wouldn�t. I loved it. I want
to have that for the rest of my life. I want to have a place ".
Bridget grows up as an independent child. She is committed to proving
that she is able to succeed beyond the shade of popularity of her
parents. She signs up to study actor studies at the New York University�s
celebrated Lee Strasberg Theatre institute where she enriches her
talent in the course of four years. Through the first years on the
theatre stage, she suffers the common for all actors stage fever and
the fact of carrying the burden of her famous name. She is anxious
about the fact that she would not be approved of, that she would not
manage to match the expectations of directors and people in general.
To a reporter for the People magazine she says: �When you�ve got all
eyes on you, people saying, �She�s not so hot,� you sort of with you
were a nobody,� She features in theatre performances �Aria� (1987)
and �Scandle� (1989). Namely, the latter performance leads to the
following job offers. She takes part in the movies Shag� and �Strapless
and participates in tv productions: Fox�s 21 Jump Street, HBO�s The
Edge, and PBS�s Wonder Works tale �Jacob Have I Loved�. Over the coming
several years she makes numerous movies but all of them are low-budget
ones. Her performance in �Single White Female� is qualified by the
critics as "expressive performance to date". In 1993 she
shoots the action movie "Point of No Return' followed by the
really hot �Singles� (1992), �It Could Happen to You� (1994), �and
�The Road to Wellville� (1994). Peter Fonda, himself, considers her
daughter as the most gifted actor in the family. As a recognition
for her indisputable talent, she is awarded for Best Actress for:
