==Career==
Berridge was called in to audition for the part of [[Constanze Mozart]] after filming had already commenced in [[Prague, Czech Republic|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, [[Diane Franklin]], was "too pretty" to play the part of a landlady's daughter).<ref>as told by Berridge in ''Bonus Features - The Making of Amadeus'', disc 2 Amadeus DVD, Director's Cut edition</ref> Berridge (and the other cast members) remained in Prague for six months to complete the onsite filming.<ref>''The Making of Amadeus'', disc 2 of Amadeus DVD, Director's Cut edition</ref>
