More info on gidget, she died from a stroke on Tuesday. When Gidget was not working she enjoyed hiking and laying out in the sun, but when it came to working Gidget was very professional.

"One time, I kid you not, she actually pushed her stand-in out of the way because he was still there when she arrived on set," Chipperton said. "Gidget always knew where the camera was."
