Whatever Happened to Bridget Fonda?

So, I'm scouring over the plethora of images coming from James Cameron's epic eyeball-fucking masterpiece Avatar, when I came across this peculiar image depicting Sigourney Weaver and her "avatar".

(For those not in the know, "avatar" is short for Giant Blue CG Allegorical Creature That Is Supposed To Be Photorealistic But May Or May Not Be Depending On How Big The Screen You See It On Is.)

Anywho, I'm looking at this picture, and a few thoughts pop in my head.

Thought number one: Ripley got old as shit.

Thought number two: That avatar looks nothing like Sigourney Weaver.

Thought number three: That avatar looks just like Bridget Fonda.

And that got me thinking. What the hell happened to Bridget Fonda?

Back in the late 90s, Fonda was popping up everywhere, working with the likes of Quentin Tarantino and Sam Raimi. She appeared in everything from Kiss of the Dragon with Jet Li to Lake Placid with Bill Pullman. And to boot, she's got Golden Globe and Emmy nominations to her name.

But then...nothing. Fonda hasn't appeared in a film since 2001.

Here we have the attractive, moderately talented daughter of Hollywood royalty working upward through the starlet ladder...only to completely fall off out of the blue. It's crazy. Wherefore art thou Bridget Fonda?
