First coming to prominence in the late '80s - well, unless you count an uncredited appearance from an infant Fonda in 1969's Easy Rider - Bridget Fonda became one of the most prolific actors of the '90s. And then, just like that, she disappeared.

To be specific, Bridget was last seen on the silver screen in 2001 with The Whole Shebang, while she'd then appear in the made-for-TV Hallmark special, Snow Queen, the following year. Since then, though, the Jackie Brown, Single White Female and The Godfather Part III standout has steered clear of the entertainment industry.

After marrying famed composer Danny Elfman in 2003, Fonda ultimately retired from the movie business in order to focus on starting a family. The two would welcome a son into the world two years later, and Bridget has yet to make an acting return in the years since.

It's also worth adding that 2003 was the year that Bridget Fonda had a nasty car accident that left her with a fractured vertebrae, and one could speculate that maybe that also influenced her decision to step away from acting.
