Bridget Powers

Early Life and Overcoming Challenges

Born as Cheryl Marie Murphy on October 11, 1980 in Boise, Idaho, Bridget Powers came into the world with a kind of dwarfism called achondroplasia. This condition would deeply affect her life and work. Her folks split up when she was just one year old, and from ages three to fourteen, she had many operations to fix her bent legs. After these surgeries, one leg was straight while the other pointed left which made her need to wear a knee brace for help. She stands at only 3 feet 7 inches to 3 feet 9 inches tall (about 109-114 cm) and weighs around 79-97 pounds (36-44 kg). Because of this, she has a slim build with sizes listed as either 28A-22-32 or 32-26-28 in different sources; she also has small natural breasts. Her brown hair and eyes along with white skin were often highlighted by many tattoos—like designs on both breasts and arms plus a black widow spider above her pubic area—and piercings in left nipple and tongue giving bold look.

Growing up in Idaho after her parents split brought some tough times, but Bridget showed great strength. She was found at a dark club by a makeup person working on a vampire movie for adults, which led to her start in modeling and acting. This lucky meeting when she was younger opened doors to the showbiz world, where her height turned into both a problem and an advantage. Before fully diving into adult movies, she tried out different scenes and gained confidence with live shows. In 1999, when she was about 18 or 19 years old, she began in hardcore adult films using the catchy stage name Bridget the Midget (or sometimes Bridget Powerz or Bridgette). This strong move showed a brave acceptance of her true self and sexuality, changing what people might see as a limit into a chance for expressing herself and making money. Her young years in Boise, full of health care needs and family shifts, built a hardy, bold spirit that shaped her way in the field and more.
