Childhood & Early Life

Jeff Bridges was born on 4 December 1949, in Los Angeles, California, United States. His father Lloyd Bridges was a popular American film and stage actor, and his mother Dorothy Bridges was an actress and writer. He had three siblings; one of his siblings died in infancy.
He made his first appearance in the film ‘The Company She Keeps’ when he was a toddler. Later, during his childhood, he made several appearances in his father’s show ‘Sea Hunt’ which aired from 1958 to 1960.
Bridges grew up in Holmby Hills in Los Angeles. He showed an interest in music during his high school days. In 1967, he completed his graduation from the ‘University High School,’ after which he enlisted in the ‘Coast Guard Reserves.’ He served there for a few years. Later, he went to New York City to learn acting at the ‘Herbert Berghof Studio.’

Marriage & Kids

In 1977 Jeff married Susan Geston, the two met while filming Ranch Deluxe. Together they have three daughters.

Along with other entertainment industry leaders, in 1984 Bridges founded the End Hunger Network, a humanitarian effort which aims to eliminate childhood hunger in the US by 2015. Along with his charitable work, Jeff is also known for his music and photography.

Cancer

Jeff Bridges returned to his blog Monday with good news: His cancer is now in remission, nearly 11 months after he revealed his lymphoma diagnosis. And his COVID-19, the disease you didn’t know he contracted back in January? That’s getting better too. Finally.

“Lots has gone down since my last installment,” Bridges revealed in his usual handwritten notes posted on his website. “My cancer is in remission — the 9″ by 12″ mass has shrunk down to the size of a marble.” That’s progress from when he reported in January that it had “drastically shrunk.”

Covid

Unfortunately, that same month, Bridges and his wife, Sue, were exposed to COVID-19 at his chemotherapy infusion center, he announced Monday as he published thoughts from March that he had held back until now.

“Soon after,” Bridges wrote on March 28, they both “share an ambulance to the ICU,” where she spent five days in the hospital, and he, with an immune system weakened by the chemo, was there for five weeks.
