The name Fonda is synonymous with acting, and Bridget Fonda jumped into her career early on.

Her career was initially disrupted by a scary car accident, which occurred the following year.

The roads were slick following heavy rain, and Bridget’s vehicle went careening off the edge and overturned.

In November of that same year, Bridget married Danny Elfman, a famous musician and composer.

In 2005, their son, Oliver Elfman, was born.

Other happenstance encounters occurred in 2023 and 2024, when Bridget and Oliver were spotted taking a trip together.

“I’m very work obsessed.

It’s how I define myself,” she acknowledged toThe New York Timesin 1992.

She was with country musician Dwight Yoakam at the time, with the celebrity couple splitting in April 2002.

Just over a year and a half later, Bridget tied the knot with Danny Elfman.

Once they became parents, Bridget appeared tochoose family over fame.

Sometimes, they were even the ones making the comparisons.

“To my father, acting was everything.

It was escape; it was therapy,” Peter Fonda informedThe New York Timesin 1992.

She attributed some of this dissonance to being a Fonda.
