Figures in film, television, video games and novels depicted as having osteogenesis imperfecta include:

  • Samuel L. Jackson's character Elijah Price in M. Night Shyamalan's 2000 film Unbreakable and its 2019 follow-up Glass, who was born with type I osteogenesis imperfecta.[61]
  • Asa Butterfield's character Gardner Elliot in the 2017 film The Space Between Us has with osteogenesis imperfecta due to being born on the planet Mars.[62]
  • Ivana Baquero's character Mandy from the 2005 film Fragile had osteogenesis imperfecta. Her nurse becomes obsessed with her and abuses her to keep her injured enough to not be discharged from the hospital, before eventually murdering her and committing suicide.
  • V.C. Andrews's character Vera from the 1982 book and 2015 film My Sweet Audrina had osteogenesis imperfecta. As a child, she sometimes intentionally broke her bones because after a break was the only time that her neglectful and abusive father ever showed her affection. As an adult, she dies from falling down a flight of stairs.
  • Jodi Picoult's character Willow O'Keefe from the 2009 book Handle with Care is born with type III. Her mother files a wrongful birth lawsuit against her doctor, because of it.
  • Jeff "Joker" Moreau, a pilot from the Mass Effect video game series. Due to the advanced technology in the series' science-fiction setting, Joker uses medication, braces and cybernetic implants that allow him to walk and dance, though not as fluidly as those without the disease.[63]
  • In Grey’s Anatomy, Samuel Norbert Avery, the son of Jackson Avery and April Kepner, had type II osteogenesis imperfecta. He was baptized and died within minutes.
  • The titular character of Frank Portman's novel Andromeda Klein has osteogenesis imperfecta, making her hard-of-hearing.
