Melissa Hayden (actress)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Melissa Hayden (born November 13, 1969 in Pacific Palisades, California) is an American actress.
She is best known to soap fans for playing the role of Bridget Reardon Lewis on Guiding Light from May 21, 1991 to June 18, 1997, in which she spawned some of the show's most-remembered storylines.
For example, Bridget's hairdryer caused the "Springfield Blackout" of 1992. That same year, ambitious Nadine Cooper (played by Jean Carol) kept Bridget locked up in her attic while she pretended to be pregnant, hoping to pass off Bridget's baby as her own.
After she left Guiding Light, Hayden has dropped out of the public eye for many years and is retired from acting.
In 1994, Hayden won a Daytime Emmy Award for her role as "Outstanding Younger Actress" on GL.
Hayden also played the character of Mouse on General Hospital.
