Kathleen Bradley

Kathleen Bradley is an American former model, former singer, actress and host. She is primarily known as a "Barker's Beauty" on the CBS daytime game show The Price Is Right from 1990 until 2000. She is noted as the first permanent African American model on the show.

Career Born to Albert and Winifred Bradley in Girard, Ohio, Bradley was the only girl of four children. She won the "Miss Black California" award in 1971. In the 1970s, she was part of two short-lived disco groups, The Love Machine and Destination. She played the role of Mrs. Parker in the 1995 movie Friday. Twenty-nine years later, both Cube and Bradley appeared together again in his music video "It's My Ego", where she appears as a churchgoer in a matching blue dress and wide-brimmed hat in 2024.

Departure from The Price Is Right

Bradley, along with longtime model Janice Pennington, was released from her modeling duties on The Price Is Right on October 19, 2000 , shortly after having testified during the lawsuit for slander and defamation of character host and executive producer Bob Barker filed against model Holly Hallstrom. Bradley's final episode aired on December 13, 2000. Barker lost his suit against Hallstrom. Bradley alleged that she and Pennington were fired for their testimonies in that lawsuit and negotiated a financial settlement in lieu of a lawsuit. Barker insisted that Bradley's accusation was untrue and that the dismissal stemmed from a change in ownership, and also stated that he appreciated Pennington's testimony.

In June 2014, Bradley released her memoirs, Backstage at The Price Is Right: Memoirs of a Barker Beauty. She has been married to mechanical engineer Terrence Redd since 1988. She has two children; a daughter, Cheyenne Overton, from her marriage with Overton; and their son Terrence Redd II. Her stepdaughter Dior is from Redd's marriage to actress Bern Nadette Stanis.
