Biography

American actress Elizabeth Berridge graduated from the Strasberg Institute. Her extensive stage work was followed by her breakthrough performance in the Oscar-winning Amadeus. As the wide-eyed wife of Mozart, Ms. Berridge was exquisite in her candy-munching scene with the duplicitous Salieri (F. Murray Abraham). Elizabeth Berridge has also appeared in such films as The Funhouse (1981) (her screen debut as a screaming teen), Five Corners (1988) and Montana (1990). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Elizabeth Berridge
Born May 2, 1962 (1962-05-02) (age 47)
New Rochelle, New York, U.S.
Occupation Actress
Years active 1979–present

Elizabeth Berridge (born May 2, 1962) is an American film and theatre actress. She is best-known as one of the stars of the award-winning 1984 film Amadeus.

Berridge was born in New Rochelle, New York, the daughter of Mary L. (née Robinson), a social worker, and George Berridge, a lawyer.[1]

Berridge is married to actor Kevin Corrigan, who played minor roles in the Martin Scorsese films The Departed and Goodfellas.

Berridge was called in to audition for the part of Constanze Mozart after filming had already commenced in Prague on Amadeus. The actress who had begun the role, Meg Tilly, injured her leg in a neighborhood soccer game and had to quit the project. Two actresses were flown to Prague, and after a week's auditions Berridge was given the part (supposedly because the other actress was "too pretty" to play the part of an innkeeper's daughter).[2] Berridge (and the other cast members) remained in Prague for six months to complete the onsite filming.[3]
