Bridget read voraciously from an early age, frequently receiving books from her local library and book mobile (books delivered in small vans to children's homes where they could be signed out as if the child had gone to the library). Her literary interests pleased her parents and she was encouraged in her artistic pursuits. She was emboldened by her mother Anita who promoted dance, piano, theater and modeling. Her parents regarded education as an important element in life. Bridget attended the University of Missouri St. Louis where she studied general subjects before setting her sights on a nursing career. She became a Registered Nurse in 1984 and returned to college where she received a Baccalaureate's degree in Humanities with an emphasis in English Literature at Columbia College in St. Ann, Missouri.

Bridget moved to Los Angeles, California where she pursued a career in modeling and acting throughout the 1990's. Bridget Morrow:File:Bridget pict.JPG(477x428
