The family settled in Larchmont, New York, where she attended Chatsworth Elementary School. There she began to perform and sing. Due to her acting commitments, she earned her diploma through an independent-study program at Mamaroneck High School.

She met actor Kevin Corrigan when they worked together on the film Broke Even. They married in 2001 and have a daughter.

Career

Berridge was called to audition for the part of Constanze Mozart after filming had already commenced in Prague on Amadeus. Meg Tilly, who was originally given the role, injured her leg in a soccer game forcing her to withdraw from the film. Two actresses were flown to Prague, and after a week's auditions Berridge was given the part. Berridge and the other cast members remained in Prague for six months to complete the filming.
