Biography |
Holly Madison (born December 23, 1979) is an American
glamour model and television personality, best known for
appearing as Hugh Hefner's #1 girlfriend on the reality TV
series The Girls Next Door.
Madison was born Holly Cullen in Astoria, Oregon. Her father
traveled around due to work in the timber industry, and from
age 2-11, she grew up on Prince of Wales Island, Alaska,
near Ketchikan. Her family then moved back home to St.
Helens, Oregon. In 1999, Madison moved to Los Angeles to
attend Loyola Marymount University, where to make money she
competed to become a Hawaiian Tropic model and worked at
Hooters. This led to invitations to the Playboy Mansion, at
a time when Hefner had seven other girlfriends. Madison
moved into the mansion and became one of Hefner's official
girlfriends in August 2001, after more than a year of
visiting the mansion. In February 2002, after all but two of
his girlfriends left, Madison became Hef's "#1 Girl" and
moved into his bedroom at the mansion. Hefner's two other
girlfriends, Bridget Marquardt and Kendra Wilkinson, have
their own bedrooms down the hallway.
Holly has spoken openly about her plastic surgery, having
had a rhinoplasty (nose job) and breast augmentation, going
from an A cup breast to a D cup.
In 2003, Madison shot a pictorial for Cyber Girl of the
Week, a feature of the Playboy website. She also appeared on
the cover and inside of the November 2005 issue of Playboy
magazine, along with Marquardt and Wilkinson as part of a
special pictorial promoting The Girls Next Door. The girls
were featured again on the covers of the September 2006 and
the March 2008 issues of Playboy.
In season three of the show during the episode "My Bare
Lady," Holly stated that she wants to have a career
producing Playboy spreads. During seasons three and four,
Holly has been shown working at the Playboy studios as an
intern and later a junior editor. She also helped design and
put together the girls' 2008 The Girls Next Door calendar.
A self-described animal lover, in 2006 Madison started
writing articles about pets for a friend's quarterly
magazine, The Coolest Little Pet Magazine. She describes
herself as "mistress of the Mansion pooches". In April 2007,
Madison was featured nude in a PETA ad, alongside the
tagline "I'd Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur". |
