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[2][3] from 1990 until 2000. She is noted as the first permanent African American model on the show.[4]
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.

Departure from The Price Is Rightedit
Bradley, along with longtime model Janice Pennington, was released from her modeling duties on The Price Is Right in December 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. 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.[6] Barker insisted that Bradley's accusation was untrue and that the dismissal stemmed from a change in ownership, furthermore stating that he appreciated Pennington's testimony.[6][7]
In June 2014, Bradley released her memoirs, Backstage at The Price Is Right: Memoirs of a Barker Beauty.[5]
