Patrice Hollis Bio
Patrice Hollis is an American actress, glamour and nude model. She was born on September 1, 1981, in Las Vegas, Nevada. Playboy named her its September 2007 Playmate at 26. Her appearance came in the 2000s, as Playboy's print tradition began to share space with an expanding online presence.
Hollis has natural breasts, brown eyes and black hair. Her measurements are 34-23-33.
Patrice Hollis spent her early twenties working for a nonprofit organization in Las Vegas while pursuing modeling on the side. After signing with a new modeling agency, a photographer suggested that she might be suitable for Playboy and submitted her photographs. Within weeks, the magazine invited her to test, beginning a transition from occasional modeling into considerably more visible entertainment work.
Stephen Wayda photographed Hollis’s centerfold, while Holly Madison handled creative direction for the pictorial. The production used several settings, including a convertible, a football field and a hotel room. Playboy subsequently brought Hollis into its expanding television world as well, with appearances on The Girls Next Door, Bridget’s Sexiest Beaches and Kendra extending her association with the magazine beyond print.
Music videos provided another substantial part of Hollis’s screen work. She appeared in productions involving artists including Mary J. Blige, 50 Cent, Nelly, Ginuwine, Brian McKnight and Redman. She also worked as a promotional model for Nelly’s Apple Bottoms fashion brand. Reality television added another format when she became a contestant on Jerry Springer’s dating game show Baggage, while acting included a role in Dirty Dealing, a crime story set in her native Las Vegas.
Fashion interested Hollis as a creator as well as a model. Sewing and designing clothes were among her longstanding interests, and she developed her entrepreneurial ambitions into a clothing line and storefront. Writing offered another creative outlet through both poetry and music. Those pursuits complemented a professional outlook in which financial independence mattered: Hollis spoke explicitly about wanting to earn her own living rather than relying on a wealthy partner.
Nonprofit work remained significant even after modeling and entertainment became more prominent. Having already worked within the sector before Playboy, Hollis identified establishing an organization of her own as one of her principal long-term goals. She also maintained close ties to Las Vegas, where she grew up as the second-oldest of six siblings and continued to live after her Playboy appearance.
