Nicksay toldEntertainment Weeklyit was a “mutual decision” between her parents and producers.
… At that time she was a little girl who did not want to be on the show."
Here’s a look at what happened to the girls who played Morgan fromBMW.
Nobody could blame her for wanting to be a regular kid.
In other words, no rehearsals or reciting dialogue.
But in the years following herBMWdeparture, Nicksay continued working at a somewhat steady pace inTV and film.
All this before she was even a teenager.
In an ironic twist, another actress took over the Britney role in subsequent seasons.
Education seemed to become Ridgeway’s main focus over the next few years.
Between 2009 and 2013, she served as a substitute teacher in Perris, Calif.
Noticeably absent from that lengthyLinkedInbio: Any mention of her acting career.
Feel free to draw your own conclusions.
It could be the fact that she left Hollywood and became a student of the world.
And we’re not talking about a semester in Prague or a month-long backpacking trip across Europe.
Nicksay revealed during theBMWreunion panel at theATX Festivalin 2013 that she lived in Scotland for a whopping eight years.
“I went to high school up in the highlands of Scotland,” she said.
“And I sailed around Europe.
And I lived with the Karen tribe in Thailand for a month.
And I studied Latin and Ancient Greece [at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland].”
What does one do with a degree in Latin and Ancient Greek?
Maybe Ridgeway was busy?
And during theGood Morning Americainterview, Nicksay pointed out that she has a unique appreciation for the show.
“I feel like I have a foot in both worlds, kind of,” she said.
“I’m a part of the show but also an audience member.”
Her wedding took place at St. Salvator’s Chapel in Scotland, according to wedding photographerZoe Barrie.
And judging by the wedding photos, it doesn’t appear as though any of herBMWco-stars were on hand.
So who exactly was her kilt-wearing groom?
The young couple currently resides in Los Angeles.
We are, after all, in the midst of a nostalgia boom.
But that part ended up being more like a guest spot.
Nicksay appeared in theGirl Meets Worldseries finale in 2017 along with otherBMWalumni, including get this Ridgeway.
That’s right,both Morgans took part.
A brunette Nicksay started off as Morgan and then literally tagged in Ridgeway to complete the dialogue.
And she doesn’t just sing the U.S. national anthem either.
LoyalBMWfans probably won’t be too surprised to hear Ridgeway can carry a tune.
Apparently she has a real knack for it too.
This probably isn’t much of a surprise for those who have followed Nicksay’s career closely.
She earned an Ovation nomination in 2002 for Best Featured Actress in a Play forThe Wild Duck.
In 2017, Nicksay played the titular role in a production of Tennessee Williams’sBaby Doll.
Mr. Feeny would approve.
And now she and fiance Chris Baierl plan to get married in 2018, according to their wedding website.
we actually have it to thank for our relationship.
They now call Atlanta home.
Congratulations to the couple on beating the odds!
