Description

Some of her male friends thought that she should pose for Playboy magazine. Marquardt sent a letter to Playboy inquiring how to become a Playmate before enrolling at San Joaquin Delta College. After graduating, Marquardt transferred to California State University, Sacramento. In 1998 at the age of 25, Marquardt entered Playboy's Millennium Playmate search. She had a successful photo shoot and was sent to the Playboy Mansion for another test shoot. Later, Marquardt graduated from CSU Sacramento with a B.A. in Communications and an emphasis on Public Relations.

In 2001, Marquardt moved to Los Angeles after earning her Master's Degree in Communications from the University of the Pacific in Stockton, California. She later took a graduate level course in broadcast journalism through UCLA Extension, which was shown on the first season of The Girls Next Door (most notably when she had to walk out of her first Playboy shoot to attend a class). According to Bunny Tales by former Hefner girlfriend Izabella St. James, Bridget worked as a dancer at Spearmint Rhino before becoming one of Hefner's girlfriends. On arriving in LA she started to pursue modeling and acting, and began appearing in small acting roles. After testing twice unsuccessfully for Playboy, she was invited to the Playboy Mansion and soon became a regular there. In October 2002, after more than a year of visiting the Mansion, she was invited to move in and become one of Hefner's girlfriends.

In the September 17, 2007 issue of Star magazine, Marquardt stated that she is married, but separated and has been the entire time she has lived in the Playboy mansion. According to the interview, her husband Chad Marquardt supported her move to LA and they have remained friends, and are in the process of divorcing.[2]

Marquardt has a cat named Gizmo and a dog named Wednesday ("Winnie") who is a Pekingese.

Bridget plans on buying a house within the next few months, so her sister Anastasia and a friend can live there while they finish at UCLA.
