Bridgette Wilson is stunningly beautiful. She quickly
spalshed onto the Hollywood scene, sweeping up roles
and a more-than-famous significant other (Pete Sampras).
Bridgette Wilson was raised in Oregon. She had her
sights set on stardom early, and was awarded Miss Teen
USA in 1990. But, she didn't want to earn her fame through
modeling, and set out the next year for Hollywood, where
she began acting classes as soon as she got into town.
As many, many celebs will painfully admit, Bridgette
got her foot in the door through the soaps, landing
a role on Santa Barbara. Luckily, she ducked out of
soap operas and turned instead to the big screen. She
landed the role of Arnold Schwarzenneger's daughter
in Last Action Hero, a film that went on to decent box
office success.
Her first significant role was in the Adam Sandler
comedy Billy Madison. Needless to say, the film didn't
garner much critical praise, but it did help to give
Bridgette a world of exposure, as the film had a significant
amount of success at the box office and enjoys a healthy
'video-rental' life even now.
A number of other roles followed, including Nixon and
I Know What You Did Last Summer (unfortunately, she
was killed very early on). She made a independent film
Love Stinks, which was a very interesting film, that
put Bridgette in the role of absolute superbitch.
In her 'spare' time, Bridgette is also an accomplished
singer. She's quietly released two albums, "Gimme
a Kiss" and "I Only Want to Be With You."
She's also a fairly active humanitarian, working with
MADD, American Oceans Campaign, and in support of AIDS
prevention and treatment.
Unfortunately [guys], she's married. She hitched tennis
legend Pete Sampras. The two got engaged right after
Pete lost the French Open. She has taken his last name,
becoming Bridgette Wilson-Sampras.
Besides the song and movie career, she is also an avid
supported of MADD, American Oceans Campaign, and several
AIDS organizations.
