Bridgett Rollins

Playboy Playmate of The Month for May 1975

Bridgett Rollins Bio

Bridgett Rollins was an American glamour and nude model. She was born on September 7, 1956, in Smyrna, Tennessee. Playboy named her its May 1975 Playmate at 18. Her appearance came during Playboy's 1970s print era, when the magazine reached the height of its mass-market influence.

Rollins had natural breasts, blue eyes and brown hair. Her measurements are 35-23-34.

Her signature centerfold was captured by Pompeo Posar, a credit that the pictorial material supplied with steadiness and classical composure—favoring natural lines and a relaxed, lit-from-within look rather than flashy artifice. The images that accompanied that spread emphasized a straightforward kind of glamour: plainspoken, carefully photographed, and quietly attentive to texture and light.

Raised in Paxton, Illinois, Rollins took the predictable step into regional modeling and signed with the Lady Elaine Modeling Agency in Chicago, a route that placed her in front of commercial photographers and agency bookings rather than theatrical stages. Those early pages and portfolios provided the practical experience that later showed in her professional shoots.

She continued to work with the magazine’s family of publications and kept a modeling presence across subsequent years, moving between editorial assignments and fan-oriented events. That later activity never became a press-driven chronicle, but it did resurface in the record as occasional assignments and appearances that kept her connected to collectors and admirers.

Off the page, Rollins married Paul Kerby Hanne; their marriage lasted twenty-one years. Her final documented modeling engagement was the Glamourcon 50 show in Long Beach, California, in 2010. She died at home on February 12, 2011, after a four-year battle with cancer, leaving a concise public record that blends professional images with the quieter facts of family life.
