Playboy Cybergirl of the Week, October 2002

Katie Hadorn Bio

Katie Hadorn is an American Glamour and nude model. She was born Katherine Hadorn on March 6, 1981, in Plantation, Florida. Playboy featured her as Cybergirl of the Week on October 28, 2002 at 21. The feature was part of Playboy's web-first model program.

Hadorn has natural breasts, blue eyes and blond hair. Her measurements are 34-22-34.

Katie Hadorn got her first taste of Playboy in front of a much bigger audience than most aspiring models. In 2002, the Florida blonde joined the women competing on Fox’s Girl Next Door: The Search for a Playboy Centerfold, a reality-TV hunt for the next woman worthy of stepping into Playboy’s spotlight.

Hadorn didn't walk away with the Centerfold crown, but she found something unexpectedly memorable in the experience. “The coolest part of the show was bonding with all those girls,” she told Playboy. “After I left, I missed them.” Competition may have been the premise, but behind the cameras Katie discovered a group of women sharing one wonderfully unusual adventure.

And losing the television contest certainly didn't mean Playboy was finished with her. Hadorn had made an impression on viewers, and fans wanted another look. Playboy obliged, bringing her back as Cybergirl of the Week for October 28, 2002. Not the original prize, perhaps — but a pretty satisfying second act for a contestant who had already caught the audience’s attention.

Katie was delighted to return to the Playboy fold and particularly eager for another visit to the Mansion. After the television production, the famous Holmby Hills playground was no longer some distant Playboy fantasy; it had become part of an experience she wanted to enjoy again. Plenty of fans, naturally, would have been happy to accompany her.

Hadorn’s Playboy story is pure early-2000s Bunny culture: reality television, a Centerfold search, the Mansion and a Cyber Club comeback all wrapped into one. She may not have won Girl Next Door, but Playboy understood something television competitions occasionally forget — you don't always need first place to become a fan favorite. Katie Hadorn lost the contest and still found her way back into Playboy. That sounds suspiciously like winning.
