| Biography |
Bridget Fonda was born in Los Angeles on January 27th, 1964 to actor Peter
Fonda and Susan (Brewer) Fonda. She is the older of two children.
She was named after Bridget Hayward, who her father was in love
with at one time. She is a descendant of notable actors, her grandfather
(Henry Fonda), her aunt (Jane Fonda), and her father (Peter Fonda).In
1972 Peter and Susan divorced and their mother in the Coldwater
Canyon section of Los Angeles reared Bridget and her brother,
Justin. During this time the children had little contact with
their father or any of the Fonda family for that matter. Bridget
recalls in an interview that “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.”
Although she came from a long line of actors, Bridget resented
the implication that acting was in her blood. She not only refused
to solicit acting tips and advice from her famous relatives, she
worked hard to learn her craft. She studied method acting at New York University’s celebrated Lee Strasberg Theatre institute for four years.
