Yes, but you aren't related to Barbarella. She has awesome genes. You and I don't. So it's disappointing when someone who has such a leg up in life still falls down to our level.

This was Jane at 58

Count Dooku

Hell . . . this is her at 80

Jane was into those workout videos back in the 80's. Bridgett could take after her mother's side for all we know. But let's not blame it on genes.

I’ve never wanted to be a microphone so bad in my life.

Except that she still looked great in 2009. So whatever happened/changed, it was in the last 12 years... probably within the last 5-8 years is my guess.

Daytripper

I haven't laughed that hard in weeks. Thank you for that.

Her dad Peter Fonda passed away not that long ago in 2019 and maybe his health problems added stress to her life

I bet girls might be saying the same things discussed here about Brendan Frasier and Russell Crowe her peers who have not aged well.

I wonder what 90's actress who has not worked in a long time will be outed and photographed next by the paparazzi?

I bet Sarah Michelle Gellar hired extra security this week.

That's really shocking. At first I couldn't believe it was her but if you look at that one high-res profile picture and cover everything but the eyes nose and mouth I do see a resemblance. Damn.

Count Dooku

I see what you were trying to do, but SMG has an IG account and posts pictures of herself all the time.

The original La Femme Nikita, Anne Parillaud, still looks damn fine at age 61.

philo

It makes me wonder if there's mental health issues. The scarcity of pictures over so many years, was she a recluse? It's one thing to stop making movies. It's another to shut yourself away from daily life. They have tons of money. There's personal trainers, dieticians, chefs. For someone to let themself go to that degree is not just about walking away from the pressures of Hollywood. And it's not body shaming to be concerned about someone's physical deterioration which invites a whole bunch of risk factors including diabetes and high blood pressure. It's alarming on many levels.

Before the horrendous plastic surgery.

The car accident in 2003, her father's death from cancer a few years ago - are a couple of things I can think of that may have effected her mentally. I will point out that she looks pretty pale in her recent photo, so it doesn't look like she gets much sun.

philo

I doubt it was the accident. There's photos of her and Danny at different events in 2009 where she looked lovely as ever. I was trying to pinpoint exactly when her public appearances stopped. My brief search didn't turn up anything past 2009.

Daytripper

I think Jane looks great and has for the past 30+ years. She didn't go overboard like Meg Ryan or Madonna. It just looks she's been getting upkeep work over time. And it's very subtle.

I am struggling to find any features on that older woman that suggest that is truly Bridget Fonda.

Toddarino

Same here. The “disappearance” if you will does make the photo more intriguing. It’s also totally possible to change your appearance that drastically in 13 years. I’m just struggling to believe it.

cultshock

I dunno, her nose looks almost the same in both photos. But even with that, I'm shocked by the photo, I had such a crush on her in the 90's.

Artman

I feel like I can pretty clearly see her facial similarities... it's everything else that's unrecognizable. Obviously aging happens differently for everyone, some of it's genes, but I would assume most it's lifestyle. And as someone pointed out, there is no class issue here... she could afford whatever she wants for help.

GoldenJCJ

Maybe the real, still smoking hot, Bridget Fonda will come out of hiding to dispute the Daily Mail story.

At least, that’s what I’m hoping for…

movieguru

She looks a lot different, but you can't expect any celebrity to look close to the same as they did thirty years ago. She reminds me of one of the tabloid photos of Yasmine Bleeth when she was having her downfall. So as someone else pointed out, she could be having some kind of mental health issues. But she is also approaching sixty and aging like anyone else. Just think of all the frumpy sixty year olds you see out there in public now, might have been total hotties thirty years ago and now you wouldn't give them the time of day.

Daytripper

Although they are still in front of the camera, I can think of a few actresses around the same age who look pretty close to what they did thirty years ago. And don't look like they've had any work done. Elizabeth Shue immediately comes to mind. Julianne Moore, Marisa Tomei, Elizabeth Hurley and Michelle Pfeiffer are a few others. I truly hope Bridget is o.k., and happy. She was always one of my favorites.

Count Dooku

Let's be frank. If this is her, then the answer to the question is: something awful.

The idea that this is just normal aging is ludicrous.

-------------This is 2009, and she is 45. Still a thin and beautiful woman.

--

-------If this is her at 58, she has more than doubled her body mass in less than 13 years.

Yes, people do age, even movie stars. Hair gets gray, wrinkles appear, and weight gets gained. But this is absolutely NOT normal aging, as some people are saying.

She comes from a famous family of rail thin movie stars. Her aunt is one of the world's most famous fitness fanatics. SHE IS RICH! That means she has access to the best nutrition, life support, and medical care in the world.

She removed herself from the public eye, and her life is hers to live, but any notion that this is normal or just natural aging is crapola.

Daytripper

I could not agree with you more. Seeing her like this truly upset and depressed me. I was hoping this was a hoax and not her. And I am genuinely concerned.
