- Bridgette Andersen was born on July 11, 1975 to Teresa Andersen and Frank Glass in Inglewood, California and grew up in Malibu. She always considered it good luck to have her birthday read as 7-11 rather than as July 11th. She would always kiss the first two fingers on her right hand, then touch any digital clock that read 7:11. As a child star, she played in many films, most notably Savannah Smiles (1982). She became involved with drugs as a teenager; tragically, she died at 21 in May 1991 after overdosing on alcohol and heroin.

- Could remember her lines from any movie.
- Markedly closely related to author Hans Christian Andersen.
- For her part as "Young Mae" in the television production of Mae West (1982), she "picked up" dancing by wearing tap shoes non-stop for a week and watching Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain (1952). At the point she was assigned to a dance instructor, she was already so adept that she learned the routines in a few days.
- She learned U.S. sign language for the role of "Jill" in A Summer to Remember (1985).
