Bridget Fonda showed off her slimmed down physique as she stepped out to run errands in on Thursday.

The 62-year-old former actress, who reportedly over the course of a year, looked casually confident in black trousers and patterned blouse over a light-colored tank top.

Fonda, who married film composer Danny Elfman in November 2003, stepped back from the spotlight . The crash left her with two fractured vertebrae and a wrecked vehicle.

After welcoming the couple's son in 2005, she continued to fade from Hollywood to focus on recovery and motherhood.

Back in 2023, she stated there was no chance of returning to film work, 'I don't think so, it's too nice being a civilian.'
