[edit] Biography
Wilkinson was born in San Diego, the older of two children. Her mother, Patti, was originally from Cherry Hill, New Jersey, and had been a cheerleader for the Philadelphia Eagles. Wilkinson grew up in Clairemont, a middle-class community in northern San Diego, and attended Clairemont High School, graduating in 2003. She played softball for six years with Clairemont Bobby Sox. Her family resides in Lodi, CA.
Wilkinson met Hefner at his 78th birthday party in April 2004, where she had been hired to be one of the "painted girls": women who are completely nude except for painted-on accessories. Apparently he had seen her picture on a fax machine at the Playboy Mansion and wanted to know who she was. Shortly after they met, Hef asked Kendra to be one of his girlfriends and he moved her into the mansion.
She is a self-proclaimed tomboy, noteworthy for being a sporty.
Kendra has made several cameos on different programs such as "Entourage" and "Curb Your Enthusiasm". She also appeared in Akon's music video Smack That. While on the set of the video, Eminem poured a bottle of water on her head, sparking an altercation. The incident was discussed on The Girls Next Door.[1]
Her stated career goal is to become a massage therapist or sports announcer. As of December 2005, she has become a regular "blogger" columnist at the website of the Philadelphia Eagles,[2] the team for which her mother had been a professional cheerleader.[3]
[edit] Trivia
- Wilkinson is a fan of Janet Jackson; a poster of the singer can be seen in her bedroom over her bed during the series The Girls Next Door.
- Kendra Wilkinson wasn't always the busty beauty she now appears to be. The San Diego native was just 18 when she was suddenly and inexplicably struck with the desire to get breast implants. "I don't know why I wanted them but I did," she says. It proved to be a fateful decision. Soon after her operation, Kendra was approached by a photographer who splashed bikini photos of the blonde bombshell across his website.
- When not appearing on camera, Kendra attended massage therapy school five days a week and aspires to one day become a professional sports announcer. "I don't necessarily enjoy putting on makeup or getting my nails done," she confesses, "but life at the Mansion perfectly suits me. I love watching boxing with Hef and rooting for my favorite football teams."
- Is a big San Diego Chargers fan.
