Biography |
Bridget Hall was born December 12, 1977, in Springdale,
Arkansas; she was later raised in Dallas, Texas. After
moving to Dallas at the age of four with her brother Josh
and her mother, she became enamored with the idea of
modeling at a very early age. She signed her first modeling
contract at the age of nine with a company called The Kim
Dawson Agency in Dallas.
Due to her wild side and her out-going and liberal nature,
she was nicknamed "The Wild Child." She dropped out of
school at the age of fifteen to pursue modeling full-time.
She also happens to be one of the most impatient people you
will ever meet, always wanting to live for the moment. Her
motto is to live by the hour, because you never know when it
might end.
Bridget continued her pursuit of modeling stardom over the
next few years. In 1992, the Hazel-eyed blonde signed with
the Ford Modeling Agency, which helped catapult her to the
top of her domain. In fact, she was listed in Forbes
magazine as one of the top ten best-paid supermodels in the
world.
Remaining true to her nickname, she was kicked out of Ford
Models President Eileen Ford's home for her excessively wild
behavior. This five-foot-ten model has graced the cover of
every major fashion magazine in the world; she has worked
for many big companies such as IMG, Why Not and Ford.
Her recent advertising work includes ads for Gucci, Ralph
Lauren, Versace Couture, Valentino, Pepsi and Maybelline.
She also did widely recognized work for Guess, Bill Blass,
Patek Phillipe watches, Polo Sport and Christian Dior.
She has become one of the most favored cover girls in the
industry, mostly due to her striking lips, natural beauty
and athletic yet feminine style. She has graced the covers
of Allure US, Elle Italia three times in 1996, Elle US,
Esquire Marie Claire and Glamour.
In 1997, she did covers for Allure, Flare Canada, Glamour
and Zest UK. 1998 was her busiest year appearing on covers
for Arena UK, Cosmopolitain US, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie
Claire Duetsch, The Face UK, Frank UK, Vogue Espana, and
Vogue UK. In 1999, she was seen on Marie Claire Italia and
US magazines.
She has been extremely busy on the runways over the past few
years. It seems as if a fashion show just isn't a fashion
show unless Bridget Hall makes an appearance. She has been
the first choice for countless designers, all of whom
thoroughly enjoy working with her. It is known in the
business that once Bridget works for you, there is a good
chance she will always work for you.
She appeared in the Spring/Summer 1999 Ready to wear shows

Hall also appeared in a 1997 movie called Scratch the
Surface, starring Whitney Houston, Phoebe Cates and Brooke
Shields. She has her own company called Bridget Hall Inc.,
and came out with her own calendar in 1996. She also
appeared in the Pirelli calendar of 1999.
Going back and forth between New York and Dallas, she has to
juggle her schedule to find time for some of her favorite
hobbies, which include playing pool, jet skiing and
swimming. She is also an expert snowboarder, and spends a
considerable amount of time in Vermont and Telluride, where
she prefers to snowboard. A big fan of rap music, Bridget
also enjoys reading, drawing and playing volleyball.
Being from Dallas, she is a huge Cowboys fan, and she
attends the University of Nebraska. Although she is
unmarried, she had been dating actor Norman Reedus for some
time a few years back. Her goals for the future are to
continue her modeling career, and she would also like to try
her hand at acting. |
