Elizabeth Berridge (born May 2, 1962) is an American film and theatre actress.^[2] She is known for her roles as Amy Harper in the horror film The Funhouse (1981), Constanze Mozart in the period biographical drama film Amadeus (1984), Charlotte in the TV sitcom The Powers that Be (1992–1993), and Officer Eve Eggers on The John Larroquette Show (1993–1996).

Early life and education[edit]

Berridge was born in New Rochelle, New York, the daughter of George Berridge, a lawyer, and Mary L. Berridge (née Robinson), a social worker.^[3] 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.^[4]

Career[edit]

Berridge was called in 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 and had to withdraw from the film. 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).^[5] Berridge and the other cast members remained in Prague for six months to complete the filming.^[6]
