| # | Fact |
|---|---|
| 1 | She is buried at Fir Grove Cemetery, Lane County, Oregon. |
| 2 | Bridgette tested for the lead in the 1984 movie Firestarter (1984), but ultimately lost the role to Drew Barrymore. Producer Dino De Laurentiis arranged for the test after he saw Bridgette on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962). |
| 3 | Her room-mate reported that, at the time of her death, she was struggling to stay clean. |
| 4 | She learned U.S. sign language for the role of "Jill" in A Summer to Remember (1985). |
| 5 | Siblings: one sister, and also actress, Angelica Andersen; two brothers, Dean Glass and Mark Ballan. |
| 6 | Markedly closely related to author Hans Christian Andersen. |
| 7 | Collected stuffed animals as a child, and had over a hundred of them. |
| 8 | At two years old, she said to her father: "I'm an actress, you know!" Within six months, an agent had accepted her as a client and she began a three-year period of fashion modeling, T.V. commercials and bit parts in a dozen T.V. shows, including King's Crossing (1982) and Washington Mistress (1982) with Lucie Arnaz. |
| 9 | 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. |
| 10 | She had a staggeringly high I.Q. and had been reading since she was two-and-a-half years old. With a wide range of reading interests at the age of six years, Hemingway was her favorite writer and "Old Man and the Sea" her favorite book. |
| 11 | Got her start in show business by modeling. |
| 12 | Could remember her lines from any movie. |
| 13 | Liked watching L.A. Kings hockey games. |
