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.

    Appeared in a 1996 Pepsi commercial which aired during Superbowl XXX. It is the one where the Coca-Cola vendor tries to sneak a can of Pepsi out of the cooler, and all the cans fall. Bridgette is standing in the background watching this happen. Because the commercial is supposed to be viewed from a security camera and therefore is in black and white, as well as Bridgette's distance from the camera, she is hard to see.
