Bridget Hall was born December 12, 1977, in
Springdale, Arkansas; she was later raised in Dallas,
Texas. After moving to Dallas at the age of four
with her brother Josh and her mother, she became
enamored with the idea of modeling at a very early
age. She signed her first modeling contract at
the age of nine with a company called The Kim Dawson
Agency in Dallas.
Due to her wild side and her out-going and liberal
nature, she was nicknamed "The Wild Child." She
dropped out of school at the age of fifteen to
pursue modeling full-time. She also happens to
be one of the most impatient people you will ever
meet, always wanting to live for the moment. Her
motto is to live by the hour, because you never
know when it might end.
Bridget continued her pursuit of modeling stardom
over the next few years. In 1992, the Hazel-eyed
blonde signed with the Ford Modeling Agency, which
helped catapult her to the top of her domain. In
fact, she was listed in Forbes magazine
as one of the top ten best-paid supermodels in
the world.
Remaining true to her nickname, she was kicked
out of Ford Models President Eileen Ford's home
for her excessively wild behavior. This five-foot-ten
model has graced the cover of every major fashion
magazine in the world; she has worked for many
big companies such as IMG, Why Not and Ford.
Her recent advertising work includes ads for Gucci,
Ralph Lauren , Versace Couture, Valentino, Pepsi
and Maybelline. She also did widely recognized
work for Guess, Bill Blass, Patek Phillipe watches,
Polo Sport and Christian Dior.
She has become one of the most favored cover girls
in the industry, mostly due to her striking lips,
natural beauty and athletic yet feminine style.
She has graced the covers of Allure US, Elle Italia
three times in 1996, Elle US, Esquire Marie Claire
and Glamour.
In 1997, she did covers for Allure, Flare Canada,
Glamour and Zest UK. 1998 was her busiest year
appearing on covers for Arena UK, Cosmopolitain
US, Elle, Harper's Bazaar, Marie Claire Duetsch,
The Face UK, Frank UK, Vogue Espana, and Vogue
UK. In 1999, she was seen on Marie Claire Italia
and US magazines.
She has been extremely busy on the runways over
the past few years. It seems as if a fashion show
just isn't a fashion show unless Bridget Hall makes
an appearance. She has been the first choice for
countless designers, all of whom thoroughly enjoy
working with her. It is known in the business that
once Bridget works for you, there is a good chance
she will always work for you.

and came out with her own calendar in 1996. She
also appeared in the Pirelli calendar of 1999.
Going back and forth between New York and Dallas,
she has to juggle her schedule to find time for
some of her favorite hobbies, which include playing
pool, jet skiing and swimming. She is also an expert
snowboarder, and spends a considerable amount of
time in Vermont and Telluride, where she prefers
to snowboard. A big fan of rap music, Bridget also
enjoys reading, drawing and playing volleyball.
Being from Dallas, she is a huge Cowboys fan,
and she attends the University of Nebraska. Although
she is unmarried, she had been dating actor Norman
Reedus for some time a few years back. Her goals
for the future are to continue her modeling career,
and she would also like to try her hand at acting. |
