Her mum is the hugely talented Jane Fonda, and it seems to have rubbed off.

Bridget Fonda is one of my favourite actresses, not just because she looks beautiful, which I think she does, she has a gorgeous smile, but because of sheer talent.

The first time I really noticed her was when she played Maggie in The Assassin (1993), the Hollywood remake of Luc Besson's classic Nikita, where she played an ex-junkie recruited into a shady government organisation and trained as an elite killer. Her acting in that just blew me away and totally lifted the film, although I'll always argue that the original French version made 3 years earlier was done with the flair and panache that only Luc Besson can master which therefore made it better.

She really hit the bigtime with SWF (Single White Female), where she played Allison Jones, a woman with a SERIOUS roomate problem. In the end the film was a good one, the usual 'psycho goes bad' fare, but it was her talent for acting once again that stood out more than anything else.

For some reason, she doesn't really get the leading roles in any other movies, although she was in The Godfather, Lake Placid and Jackie Brown (not for long though, but that's Tarrantino for you...).

Maybe it's because she's 37 years old now, and Hollywood have found better actresses to bring in the revenue? For me though, if she's in a movie, no matter how small the part, I feel that it's probably a safe bet to get it, and there's not a great deal of other actresses I can say that about with hand on heart.

She's in A Simple Plan - have you seen that? Rather good wee film. Think I remember reading in this months Empire that it has just been re-issued on video for £5.99 - worth it.
