Kendra Wilkinson (born June 12, 1985 in San Diego, California) is a model and televison personality best known as one of the three live-in girlfriends of Playboy founder Hugh Hefner and a co-star of the E! reality television series The Girls Next Door. She met Hefner at his 78th birthday party in April 2004, where she had been hired to be one of the "painted girls" (being completely nude except for painted-on accessories). At the time, she had been working as a dental assistant, but Hefner called her a few days later and asked her to move in to the Mansion.
