Several former The Price Is Right models spoke out about their experiences on the show in E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals docuseries

After The Price Is Right first premiered on CBS 54 years ago, the models on the show have become a part of daytime TV history, along with first host Bob Barker.

While some former stars shared positive memories from the show, its legacy, along with Barker’s, have been marred by allegations of sexual assault, harassment and racism. Before his death in 2023, Barker denied all claims against him.

The models of the long-running game show were back in the spotlight in March 2026 when a two-part episode of E!’s Dirty Rotten Scandals docuseries about The Price is Right premiered.

Some of the former models, like Holly Hallstrom and Kathleen Bradley, participated in the documentary, recounting some of their negative experiences being sexualized on the show.

“When I initially started the show, everybody was pretty cool, really friendly, especially the crew,” Bradley said in the episodes. “But over a course of time, I kind of noticed the guys were kind of talking, looking, gawking at the girls. I found out this is a little more commonplace than I thought.”

Here’s where some of the most notable models from The Price Is Right are today, 54 years after the series debuted on Sept. 4, 1972.

Janice Pennington was one of the original “Barker’s Beauties.”

She was a model from the first episode, when The Price Is Right relaunched in 1972 with Barker as host, staying on the show until 2000.

Following Barker’s death in 2023, Pennington spoke to Entertainment Tonight about her tenure as a model on the show, saying, “It’s hard to imagine, but every day I loved going to work.”

“I really did. The people we worked with, the crew, the cameramen, it was like a family,” she recalled. “Especially when you’re there for 29 years. It really is a family.”

She has not returned to TV since leaving The Price is Right in 2000.

Dian Parkinson was a model on the game show from 1975 until 1993.

During her time on The Price Is Right, Parkinson had an alleged affair with Barker, and in 1994, she sued him for sexual harassment. She eventually dropped the lawsuit a year later, but her allegations affected the show behind the scenes.

“Every time you went to the studio, you had to sit with lawyers who all they wanted to hear was all the bad stuff about Dian and how Bob could not have possibly sexually harassed Dian,” Hallstrom said in Dirty Rotten Scandals.

Parkinson has stayed out of the spotlight since her time on The Price Is Right, and she did not participate in the Dirty Rotten Scandals docuseries.

E! noted in a written message displayed in the docuseries, “Multiple attempts were made to contact Dian Parkinson for comment, but her whereabouts remain a mystery.”

In a March 2026 interview with TV Insider, Hallstrom revealed that these days, she works “with victims of trauma and teach [neuro-linguistic programming] through therapeutic practices in San Diego.”

Kathleen Bradley was on The Price Is Right from 1990 to 2000, making history as the first permanent Black model on the show.

Bradley participated in the E! docuseries, alleging there were incidents of sexual harassment on the set of the show.

“One guy in particular. He was a little friendly, too friendly. He would rub up against us, joking around. It’s totally inappropriate. I learned the stagehand had been around on the set for a long time and was probably doing it to all the other girls,” she shared.

Bradley continued, “When I reported this guy to the producers? To my surprise, no action was taken. I was really taken aback. This was really sexual harassment.”
