Holly Madison was born in Astoria, Oregon (home of The Goonies), but soon moved to the sparsely populated Prince of Wales Island in Alaska. Growing up she spent a lot of time playing in the woods, reading Nancy Drew mysteries and watching bears rummage through our garbage.

Wanting to give their kids “a more normal life,” her parents moved my family to Oregon when she was in middle school.

One that wasn’t good at socializing or fitting in, despite being involved in numerous school activities.
