Bridget Fonda has been spotted out in California this week in a rare outing.

She was said to have been seen for the first time in over a decade last year following her apparent retirement from acting 20 years ago.

The former actor, 59 - who starred in films like Single White Female (1992) and Jackie Brown (1997) - was seen out in Los Angeles on Thursday. Bridget is said to have been visiting a friend in the area and was photographed on the outing.

She had opted to wear a grey t-shirt that depicted Mickey Mouse on the front, which she accompanied with a pair of dark pants. Her outfit for the trip also included grey trainers and she accessorised with a pair of gloves.

She was spotted carrying a patterned bag and a cup that featured a sticker of a minion from the animated film Despicable Me (2010). The photos of the former actor showed her sporting a pair of glasses whilst out in the city this week.

It comes after Bridget - who's the daughter of the late actor Peter Fonda - was reportedly seen for the first time in a decade last year. She's been described as 'reclusive' in recent years following her decision to retire from acting.

Bridget - who dismissed the idea of returning to acting when approached about the possibility earlier this year - hasn't been in a film or TV show for more than two decades. Her last appearance was in the film Snow Queen (2002).

Over the course of her career, she starred in films like Single White Female, in which she played the lead role of Allison Jones. She later appeared as the character Melanie Ralston in the film Jackie Brown, among other high-profile projects.
