Cindy Bridges is an American actress known for her roles in Meeting Daddy, The Lloyd Bridges Show, and The Loner. She is best recognized as the younger sister of acclaimed actor Jeff Bridges, widely celebrated for his starring role in the cult classic, The Big Lebowski.
Born Lucinda Louise Bridges in 1950, Cindy was raised in a family deeply rooted in the entertainment industry. Her parents were actress and poet Dorothy Bridges and veteran actor Lloyd Bridges. Cindy grew up alongside her three brothers, two of whom—Beau Bridges and Jeff Bridges—also pursued careers in Hollywood.
She is the aunt of Casey Bridges, Emily Bridges, Dylan Bridges, and Jordan Bridges, and an aunt-in-law to Carrie Eastman. Her sisters-in-law include Susan Bridges and Wendy Treece. She was previously the sister-in-law of Julie Landfield.
Cindy Bridges began her journey in acting with support and inspiration from her family, particularly her older brothers. During her career, she appeared in several television projects, including The Lloyd Bridges Show and The Loner—both of which reflect the family's strong cinematic lineage. Her most notable film performance came in 2000, in the comedy-drama Meeting Daddy, a sentimental and introspective film about family and aging.
Her brother Beau Bridges, a prominent figure in the industry as both an actor and director, significantly influenced her path. Known for his award-winning work, Beau has received three Emmy Awards, two Golden Globes, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Cindy’s elder brother, Jeff Bridges, is among the most versatile actors of his generation. While best known for his role as the laid-back Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski in The Big Lebowski, he has portrayed a wide array of complex characters, including Obadiah Stane in Marvel’s Iron Man.
In an interview with HuffPost, Jeff reflected on the challenges of balancing family life while working in Hollywood. He shared that his enduring marriage has been a result of continued connection and effort, crediting his wife for his sustained success. When advising Cindy, he emphasized the importance of staying emotionally engaged with loved ones during long absences—a common experience in their line of work.
"The toughest thing about making movies," Jeff said, "is being apart from your family. I always try to call my wife every day...even if it’s just small, everyday kind of stuff. That connection helps keep the bond intact."
