Remember These Female Action Heroes? Here’s What They Look Like Today

In Point of No Return (1993), Bridget Fonda plays Maggie Hayward, a troubled young woman given a second chance — as a government assassin. Forced into a brutal secret program, she learns deadly skills but ultimately fights to regain her freedom. It’s an intense, stylish remake of the French hit La Femme Nikita.

At that point, Fonda was one of Hollywood’s most promising rising stars. Coming from a legendary acting family, she balanced charm with edge, moving between comedies and thrillers. Point of No Return marked her transition into action territory, proving she could carry a complex, physically demanding lead role.
