Bridge began her career as one of the first female color consultants to enter Hollywood in the 1940s. She assisted a great number of filmmakers to overcome the challenges associated with early films that made the transition from the black-and-white era to color, having over 76 credits in this role. These include her work on such acclaimed films as Moulin Rouge (1952), The Ladykillers (1955), and Invitation to the Dance (1956).[1]
But perhaps Bridge is best known for creating the costumes for more than 20 different productions.[1]
On her retirement from the film industry in 1980, Bridge moved to Totteridge and became a member of South Herts Golf Club where she was active player into her nineties.[1]
