Holly Madison (43) was one of the most famous women in the United States. In 2000 the model was mired in financial debt and she feared that she would soon have to live on the street.

She met Hugh Hefner at a party and in August 2001 she moved into her mansion. In February 2002 she became his number 1 girlfriend. In December 2023 she revealed in a podcast that she has been diagnosed with autism. "I'm on the autism spectrum. But my doctor told me I'm 'high functioning,' which means I can get on with my life," she said.
