Holly Madison, born Hollin Sue Cullen on December 23, 1979, in Astoria, Oregon, is a television personality, author, and actress who gained fame in the early 2000s. Known for her appearances on The Girls Next Door, a reality show that offered a glimpse into life at the Playboy Mansion, Madison’s story captivated audiences worldwide.
Raised between Oregon and Alaska, she later returned to Oregon, where she attended Portland State University, followed by Loyola Marymount University in Los Angeles, balancing studies in theater and psychology while working as a waitress.
Madison’s time at the Playboy Mansion marked a pivotal chapter in her life. Joining as one of Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends in 2001, she became known as Hefner’s “#1 Girl,” appearing frequently in Playboy and eventually leading her own reality spin-off, Holly’s World, set in Las Vegas.
Behind the glamor, however, was a difficult relationship, which Madison later described as emotionally taxing. She candidly shared her experiences and personal struggles, even addressing her journey through postpartum depression after having two children with fiancé Pasquale Rotella: Rainbow Aurora and Forest Leonardo Antonio.
Now 44, Madison continues to make headlines, recently captivating fans with a bold campaign for the Australian fashion brand I.Am.Gia.
Modeling lingerie from their debut collection, Gia X-Rated, she posed for striking photos by Daniel Sachon, shot on a scenic farm that combined rustic charm with modern style.
