Fonda’s breakthrough came with a brief but notable role as a journalist in The Godfather Part III (1990). She followed this up with starring roles in a string of successful films throughout the early 1990s. These included Barbet Schroeder’s psychological thriller Single White Female, Cameron Crowe’s romantic comedy Singles, and the action-thriller Point of No Return (1993), in which she played the lead role.
Her performance in Point of No Return was well received; a reviewer in The New Yorker noted her portrayal as both assertive and provocative. In Quentin Tarantino’s Jackie Brown (1997), Fonda played Melanie Ralston, a stoner girlfriend, after accepting the role during a conversation with Tarantino on a plane flight. She also provided the voice for Jenna in the 1995 animated feature Balto.
At one point, Fonda was offered a role in the television series Ally McBeal but declined to focus on her film career. In 2003, she was involved in a serious car accident in which she suffered a fractured vertebra. In the same year, she became engaged to composer Danny Elfman, the former frontman of Oingo Boingo and a prolific film and television composer. The couple married and have one son, Oliver.
