Bridget Fonda looked much thinner than she has in recent years when she was spotted out in the Encino Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles on Monday.
The actress, who is best known for her films Single White Female and Jackie Brown, was celebrating her 61st birthday with a female friend as they went on a power walk through a suburban neighborhood.
Bridget showed off a smaller waistline and thinner arms in the rare public sighting on a sun-drenched winter day.
The niece of Jane Fonda wore a pale gray top and black slacks with black sneakers but later added a colorful top. Her light silver hair was worn up in a casual updo as she appeared to have little makeup on while sporting thin black sunglasses.
She also was not wearing her wedding rings from her husband, film composter Danny Elfman.
Fonda's appearance comes after Hollywood has been swept up in an Ozempic craze where stars who were usually full figured were suddenly looked slender.
Amy Schumer, Rebel Wilson, Tracy Morgan and James Corden have all admitted to using Ozempic in the past; some of them have stopped.

The '90s movie staple seemed to be in great spirits as she smiled. Her light silver hair was worn up in a casual updo as she appeared to have little makeup on while sporting thin black sunglasses
In past few years Fonda has not been seen much in public.
During her heyday in the 1990s, she was a blonde bombshell with a knockout figure.
In movies, she often showed off her fit physique in lingerie or bathing suits, or skintight dresses with high heels.
In one film, Single White Female, she even played the perfect woman who had both a beautiful face and sizzling body. Her roommate envied her so much she terrorized her.
In Singles, Bridget showed off her sculpted form when playing the love interest of Matt Dillon's character.
She has been retired from acting for over 20 years and has opted for a quieter lifestyle.
Bridget grew up in a famous family.
Her father is East Rider actor Peter Fonda who died in 2019 and her mother is Susan Brewer. Her grandfather is 12 Angry Men actor Peter Fonda who died in 1982.

And her aunt is Jane Fonda, 87, the star of films like Barefoot In The Park, Barbarella and 9 To 5.
The head-turner was also on the beloved series Grace And Frankie.
Jane was a known workout expert in the 1980s with her successful line of exercise videos that got women to do aerobics in their living rooms.
Bridget was last seen publicly in August 2024 with her son Oliver whom she shares with husband Elfman.
Bridget famously retired from acting in 2002 to focus on raising a family with her composer spouse.

There has been some bad news for Danny.
In July Elfman was hit with a defamation lawsuit by a woman who previously accused him of serving her a martini glass filled with semen.
Nomi Abadi, a 36-year-old composer, had previously sued Elfman for breach of contract after alleging that he had failed to pay her a portion of a settlement they had previously agreed to.
In a 2023 Rolling Stone piece, Abadi made the accusation involving the martini glass, which elicited a vigorous denial from Elfman.

But now Abadi is taking Elfman to court over his response to her claims with a new defamation lawsuit. She is suing the Oingo Boingo singer and songwriter — who was also been sued by a second woman for alleged sexual abuse — for denying her account, which she claims is tantamount to calling her a liar, according to the lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
DailyMail.com reached out to representatives for Elfman and Abadi but never heard back.
In Abadi's defamation suit, which was filed by the attorney Eric M. George, she reiterated her claims that Elfman gave her a martini glass filled with semen.
The two seemed to be in deep conversation as they got their steps in
She still had her good looks as she looked up; her glasses had pale gray lenses and a see-through frame
She had on no earrings or necklace as she went glam free

So far, Bridget has not addressed her changing figure with the press, nor should she have to as she is retired
Bridget has been married to film composer Danny Elfman since 2003. Lately she has not been wearing her wedding rings
She says she was invited to Elfman's studio in August of 2016, when she was allegedly presented with the martini glass bearing a whitish substance.
Abadi describes how she 'sat in silence, terrified, gagging from the putrid smell coming from ... semen ejaculate.'
She also claims that Elfman made a comment about former President Donald Trump, who was only a candidate at the time.
It's unclear what sentiment the Batman composer expressed, but Abadi says she responded by sharing her support for Democratic presidential candidate and Senator Bernie Sanders.
The sighting comes amid her husband Elfman's mounting legal woes; seen in 2009

Elfman allegedly responded, 'We can't have a Jew running our country,' though it's unclear if Abadi took his words to be a tasteless joke or a sincere statement.
The Rolling Stone report cited a police report filed by Abadi in November 2017, in which she claimed that Elfman had exposed his genitals and masturbated in her presence — without her consent — multiple times.
In the wake of the accusations, Elfman agreed to a 2018 settlement and nondisclosure agreement with Abadi.
But she sued the musician in 2023 for breach of contract for allegedly failing to pay all of the agreed-upon $830,000.
Abadi claimed he had failed to make two payments, one due in 2019 and one in 2021, which totaled $85,000.
'How do I respond to accusations so serious that being innocent is not a valid defense? It is excruciating to consider that a 50-year career may be destroyed in one news cycle as a result of vicious and wholly false allegations about sexual misconduct,' began Elfman's florid denial.
'Ms. Abadi’s allegations are simply not true,' he continued.
He also claimed Abadi had described him as her 'childhood crush' and that she planned to 'break up' his marriage to Bridget, who he's been married to since 2003.
Elfman claimed to have 'done nothing indecent or wrong,' and he said he had 'voluminous evidence that these accusations are false.'
A representative for Elfman later said that his 'limited interactions' with Abadi 'did not involve sexual contact' and 'were fully consensual.'
Film compose Elfman, 71, is being sued by the composer and pianist Nomi Abadi for defamation, TMZ reported. She had previously sued him for failing to pay all of an $830,000 settlement they had agreed upon
Elfman's representatives also claimed that the martini glass was not filled with semen, but instead was filled with the moisturizing cream Cetaphil.
A photo of the glass with a white substance was emailed to Abadi before her meeting with Elfman in which he allegedly presented it to her in person.
The representative said the martini glass and its contents were 'designed to be a stupid photo prop' for a photoshoot, and they said 'Ms. Abadi knew that.'
Now Abadi is suing Elfman for defamation and requesting unreported damages over his denials.
She says her statements to Rolling Stone were truthful, and she says Elfman's statements, which she characterized as lies, had damaged her career as a composer and performer and had led her to suffer health problems.
