Kendra Wilkinson exemplifies the image of a
down-to-earth tomgirl who found herself in
the right place at the right time, and is now
living the dream of many American girls.
Wilkinson, grew up in San Diego, Calif. and
attended Clairemont High School, located five
miles north of metropolitan San Diego. The
future Playmate was working as a dental
assistant in her hometown when Playboy
founder Hugh Hefner happened to stumble upon
a photograph of her that had been sent to his
mansion. Wilkinson had been asked by a friend
to attend Hefner's 78th birthday party as a
body-painted party girl, and when Hefner saw
her photograph, he knew he had seen something
special.
The Playboy mogul and the sports-loving tom
girl met for the first time at his birthday
party, and Wilkinson moved into the mansion
as one of Hefner's girlfriends shortly after.
Wilkinson soon became a star of "The Girls
Next Door," a reality television series which
premiered in August of 2005 on E!
(Entertainment Television). The series, which
is the brainchild of executive producer Kevin
Burns and Hugh Hefner himself, focuses on the
lives of Hefner's three girlfriends who live
with him at the Playboy Mansion. To celebrate
the enormous success of the television
series, Playboy published a special nude
pictorial of Holly, Bridget, and Kendra in
their November 2005 issue. The original
eight-episode run of the series was expanded
into a 15 episode series due to the positive
audience reaction. A second season has been
confirmed to begin airing in August, and will
feature exciting events in the lives of the
Playmates such as the celebration of Kendra's
21st birthday and a trip to San Diego. The
DVD of the first season of the show will soon
be released as well.
In addition to starting in a hit television
series, Wilkinson has also made many
television show guest appearances on programs
such as "The Tyra Banks Show" and "The Late
Night Show with Craig Ferguson." She even
appeared in the smash parody film "Scary
Movie 4." Massage school has been consuming
much of Wilkinson's time lately, and she
hopes to soon fulfill her dream of becoming a
sports massage therapist or a sports
announcer. The entertainment world has just
begun to experience Kendra Wilkinson, for
much more is sure to come of this beautiful
Playmate.
