Holly Madison (born December 23, 1979) is a New York Times Best-Selling author,model, showgirl, and television personality. Holly is most widely recognized for her role in the E! hit reality television show, The Girls Next Door and for her own series, Holly's World. In July 2015, Madison released her first book and memoir, Down the Rabbit Hole: Curious Adventures and Cautionary Tales of a Former Playboy Bunny. In May 2016, she released her second book, The Vegas Diaries: Romance, Rolling the Dice, and the Road to Reinvention detailing her career and dating life in Las Vegas.
Holly Madison was born in Astoria, Oregon. She has a younger sister named Stephanie, her brother Joseph died in a car crash in 2005. Her father's work in the maritime shipping industry led her family to travel. At age 2, she lived with her family in Craig, Alaska, on Prince of Wales Island. When she was in middle school, her family returned to St. Helens, Oregon. She later attended Portland State University for two years, majoring in theater and psychology. Afterward, Madison moved to Los Angeles and attended Loyola Marymount University.
To afford her college tuition, Holly competed to become a Hawaiian Tropic model and worked as a waitress at Hooters. Her appearance at these venues led to invitations to the Playboy Mansion and at the age of 21, after more than a year of such visits, Madison asked to move in.
The show starring Holly and her two co-stars' life at the Playboy Mansion was an instant hit for E! Network. Although not a Playboy Playmate, the initial success of the show was so great that Playboy published a nude pictorial of Madison, with her Girls Next Door costars in the November 2005 issue. The women were featured again on the covers of the September 2006, March 2008, and February 2009 issues.
