Biography

Bridget Michele Levin, the eldest child of Henry and Judith Levin, was born into a family of entrepreneurial spirit. Her father, a self-made millionaire, built his fortune through his manufacturing and distribution enterprises, including Triple L liquor supplies and Snak King. From a young age, Bridget was drawn to the world of competitive ice skating, with a dream to compete in the Olympics. However, a knee injury in her early teens forced her to abandon her skating aspirations and redirect her focus towards acting.

Bridget made her television debut in the 1983 TV movie "Two Kinds of Love," alongside Lindsay Wagner and Ricky Schroder. She went on to become a series regular in the short-lived TV series "FTV" (1985),where she played various characters parodying popular music videos.

In 1987, Bridget landed her most iconic role as Diane Foley, a fashionable and attention-seeking blonde, in the NBC musical comedy drama "Rags To Riches." Set in the early 1960s, the show starred Joseph Bologna as Nick Foley, the head of Foley Foods, who adopts five orphan girls to boost his public image. Despite its popularity, the show was canceled midway through its second season, concluding in January 1988.

Following her stint on "Rags To Riches," Bridget made a few more appearances, including a brief role in "The Elevator" (1996),written by Gabriel Bologna, the son of her "Rags To Riches" co-star Joseph Bologna. Her last acting role to date was in the 1996 film "Santa with Muscles." Since then, Bridget appears to have retired from the acting world, bringing an end to her brief but memorable career in Hollywood.
