During her run on Modern Family, Brigitte was represented by animal trainer Guin Dill, who owns Good Dog Animals, a Los Angeles-based company which loans animal actors to movies and television shows.[1] Dill has stated that Brigitte's grooming regime is pretty straightforward.[2] She enjoys playing with toys, in particular, those built so she can tug on them.[1]
Her best friend was another French Bulldog, named Beatrice (2010–2020),[3] who Sarah Clifford originally adopted to act as Brigitte's understudy on set. Clifford later allowed Dill to adopt Beatrice.
Career[edit]
The producers of the American Broadcasting Company television show Modern Family had indicated that they were looking for a French Bulldog to add to the cast,[1] in order to act as a rival for Gloria Pritchett.[3] Guin Dill took Brigitte in for an audition, but had to explain that she was new and completely untrained, with no experience as a dog actor.[1] Brigitte ran around the audition room, doing various puppy antics. Dill later explained in an interview that the producers called him fifteen minutes after the audition to say that they wanted Brigitte, saying 'She's just too cute, we have to have her'.[1]
Brigitte made her debut during the second season of Modern Family.[4] During the gap between filming the second and third seasons of Modern Family, Brigitte underwent formal training to give her the skills to act on screen.[1] This included teaching her to swim, something which was later written into the episode 'Little Bo Bleep'.[1][5] As well as being her owner on screen, actor Ed O'Neill and Brigitte are best friends off screen. Her trainer said of their relationship, 'Ed is very concerned about her all the time, and he looks out for her. She's really Ed's dog. I couldn't have asked for a better actor to work with.'[1]
She has been described by The New York Post as being the most famous dog on television since Frasier's Eddie, played by Moose and Enzo.[4]
It was announced in July 2012 that because of a dispute between the owner of Brigitte and the animal agency that hired her, she will no longer be appearing in future episodes of Modern Family (season 4). Instead, Brigitte will be replaced by her understudy, a dog named Beatrice. As reported on TMZ, the owner could not seek any legal damages against the agency because the owner allowed them to use Brigitte for the show without having a contract in place.
Awards[edit]
Brigitte attended the launch party, along with Lambchop from the TV show Suburgatory, for the first Golden Collar Awards, a series of awards founded by Dog News Daily to celebrate the achievements of dogs in film and television.[2] She went on to win the award for 'Best Dog in a Television Series' at the inaugural awards, beating her rival Lambchop.[6]

Early life[edit]
Marquardt was born Bridget Christina Sandmeier in Tillamook, Oregon. Shortly after her birth, Marquardt's mother moved the family back to California, where Marquardt was raised. Her parents divorced when Marquardt was in the fifth grade. Her mother remarried, and Marquardt and her younger brother Edward moved to their stepfather's ranch, where they later gained a half-sister, Anastasia.

In 2001, she earned her Master's Degree in Communications from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California.[2]
She later took a graduate level course in broadcast journalism through UCLA Extension, which was depicted on the first season of The Girls Next Door, most notably when she had to be absent from her first Playboy shoot in order to take her final exam.[citation needed]
Career[edit]
On the advice of friends who suggested she pose for Playboy magazine, Marquardt sent a letter to Playboy, inquiring how to become a Playmate, before enrolling at San Joaquin Delta College. In 1998, aged 25, she entered Playboy's Millennium Playmate search. In 2001, Marquardt moved to Los Angeles, California and did local modeling jobs and small acting roles.

She took an online paranormal course because of her interest in paranormal activity. On June 1, 2007, she started her Bridget & Wednesday Friday Show on Sirius Radio's Playboy station. In August of that year, she, Madison and Wilkinson appeared in the music video for Nickelback song 'Rockstar'. Later that October, Marquardt appeared as a contestant on the Fox Reality cable show The Search for the Next Elvira. She was one of the final six out of 20 contestants.[citation needed]
