Bridget Fonda first became interested in acting after appearing in a high-school production of Harvey" At 18, Bridget studied method acting at New York University's celebrated Lee Strasberg Theatre institute for four years. During Bridget's first two years at the theatre, she suffered from stage fright and self-consciousness that were exacerbated by the extra scrutiny she experienced because of her name. In her third year, Bridget Fonda learned to subordinate her concern for others opinions to her desire to do what she thought was best. After gaining work on a small time opera anthology Aria (1987) Bridget landed a role in Michael Caton-Jone's acclaimed Scandle in 1989. A review in the New Yorker stated she had "...a provocative, taunting assertiveness". Furthermore, Rolling Stone said that Fonda was "a comic delight". Bridget Fonda quickly found work and pumped out two other movies that same year, namely "Shag" and "Strapless". Bridget also stared in three television sequences namely "Fox's 21 Jump Street, HBO's The Edge, and PBS's Wonder Works tale Jacob Have I Loved. In 1992 Bridget was cast in the lead for Single White Female. After that part Bridget Fonda became one of Hollywood's busiest actresses. The years after that Bridget has turned out a fist full of movies and has played each character with uncanny believability. When staring in 1993's Point of No Return, Bridget convincingly essayed the virtually unplayable part of an evening-gowned political assassin effortlessly. She has also showed how the Fonda family predilection for razor-sharp comic timing in films like Singles (1992), "It Could Happen to You" (1994), and The Road to Wellville (1994). Peter Fonda, believes Bridget is the most talented member of their family including his father. To the New York Times she admitted "I'm never completely happy with what I do on screen,". "What comes out is never as good as I think it will be, or hope it will be." Bridget also said that "You can't count on fame or popularity." "There are people who work their whole lives because they pace themselves, and that's the way I want to be." |
