Bridget Fonda looks even slimmer now after her dramatic weight loss amid Hollywood's Ozempic craze
After working with a string of top-flight directors like Francis Ford Coppola and Quentin Tarantino, she suffered an accident in the 2000s and left movies behind.
Although she is married to Danny Elfman, one of the most famous composers in the entertainment industry, she has not acted since 2002.
She gained weight in the years since she started leading a more private life - but in more recent months, observers have noticed her reduced frame.
Her trimmed-down physique has set off speculation, given the Ozempic craze sweeping Hollywood, but fans have also theorized that she might have shed the pounds naturally by way of diet and exercise.
When she surfaced on Friday, the 61-year-old looked even slimmer than before, draping her lither figure in an olive t-shirt and black trousers with a flannel shirt.
Gathering her hair up into a bun, she could be glimpsed refreshing herself with an iced beverage amid the soaring summer temperatures in Los Angeles.
Bridget hails from an exalted Hollywood dynasty, as the granddaughter of Old Hollywood stalwart Henry Fonda and the niece of Jane Fonda.
She has not publicly commented on her weight loss, which many fans suspect may have simply been the result of lifestyle changes like altering her eating habits.
Meanwhile, a raft of celebrities have admitted to taking weight-loss drugs, from Meghan Trainor and Sharon Osbourne to Amy Schumer and Rebel Wilson.
Bridget and her husband, Hollywood composer Danny Elfman, have not been pictured together in years, fueling rumors about the state of their marriage.
However there has been no indication in the publicly available Los Angeles court records that the pair have gotten divorced.
In recent years Danny has denied a spate of sexual harassment allegations, including from a former protégée who claimed he served her a martini glass of semen.
Danny, who is particularly known for his longstanding professional collaboration with Tim Burton, married Bridget in 2003 and welcomed a son with her in 2005.
Publicly available court records in Los Angeles show no sign that Fonda has divorced her husband Danny Elfman, whom she married in 2003
In February 2003, during her engagement, Bridget fractured her vertebrae in a car accident on the Pacific Coast Highway.
The injury prompted her to withdraw from the entertainment industry and lead a life outside the spotlight, which she has done ever since.
After beginning her career aged five alongside her father Peter Fonda in the 1969 film Easy Rider, she last acted in a 2002 TV movie called Snow Queen.
In between, she was directed by such names as Francis Ford Coppola in The Godfather Part III and Quentin Tarantino in Jackie Brown.
A couple of years ago, when an interviewer asked her if she might ever stage a comeback, she replied: 'No, I don't think so, it's too nice being a civilian.'

Joey Lawrence reveals how he won back wife Samantha Cope after her divorce filing and THOSE affair rumors
Joey Lawrence shed light into his reconciliation with his wife Samantha Cope, five months after she filed for divorce in 2024. When asked about his decision to repair his marriage, the Melissa and Joey star, 49, urged others not to 'give up' without a fight. 'I think it's too easy,' he explained of why they got back together. 'As much you don't want to take an easy way out, or you think this will be the fix—it's not always the case. I just didn't want to do that. And she didn't either.' Ultimately, he said they both came to the realization: 'Wait a minute. There's something so special here.' 'Things take a lot of work and a lot of dedication and reworking and retooling,' the father-of-three continued. 'That's life, though.' Lawrence went on to stress: 'That's life, though. As brothers, with your parents, with friends, in business, that's it. Everything takes so much work. Whatever it is, just don't give up, because you never know.' Last August, it was revealed that Cope had filed for divorce from Lawrence. She requested that both she and her estranged husband not receive any spousal support. She cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split, and also asked for full custody of their daughter. Cope stated in documents obtained by Us Weekly that she will allow Dylan to stay with Joey two nights a week when she turns three. But in regards to Joey having extended visits with their daughter, Samantha stated that she wants to wait until Dylan is 'older and can consent to such visits.' Not long after she filed, Lawrence was accused of having an affair with his co-star and fellow actress, Melina Alves. The pair are set to appear in the upcoming film, Socked In For Christmas. In documents obtained by TMZ, Melina's estranged husband, Edward Rider - who filed for divorce in July - claimed that he discovered Alves and Lawrence were having an affair earlier this year in March. The affair allegedly took place in California as well as 'at various other times and places,' Rider claimed. At the time, a source told People that Lawrence 'love-bombed' Alves - which was something that he also did with Cope. 'Joey met Melina Alves on the set of their movie, where she was a producer,' the insider explained. Melina is also the writer and took on the role of Addy in the upcoming holiday flick,' the insider claimed. They also alleged he 'continued to date Melina even after Samantha found out about it and confronted him.' The source also expressed that Cope had wanted to attend marriage counseling, but Joey 'fooled their counselor' and would still 'get ready for dates with Melina while Sam watched, bawling her eyes out.' Cope and Lawrence first crossed paths in 2020 while on set of the Lifetime movie titled, My Husband's Secret Brother. The former couple became engaged in 2021, and said 'I do' the following year in 2022 during a ceremony held at the Temecula Creek Inn in California. At the time, Cope told People that her courtship with Lawrence was speedy: 'From day one, it was such a safe place to be myself. Two weeks in, I was like, "I will be with you forever."' She added, 'When you meet the right person, if you're lucky enough, it cuts to the chase so quick. I have somebody who is like-minded and has the same love language, and we communicate the same way. That's super important. And I am so thankful.' In January 2023, the couple welcomed their daughter, Dylan Rose, to the world. The Blossom actor was also previously married to Michelle Vella from 2002 through 2005. He later tied the knot with Chandie Yawn-Nelson in 2005 but the pair's divorce was finalized in 2022. They share daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
