I think perhaps maby the infobox should be added to. I have been curious as to what her height and weight (especially weight, lol) was. She seems to be alot like Nicole Richie before she lost alot of her weight. I imagine she would be around 5"3' or so maby. Xaritix 04:47, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Height - was listed at 4'5" on the offical site is listed as 5'5". I made this change :)
SHE"S ONLY 31, the birthday is wrong...hef wouldn't be dating a near 40. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.194.155.247 ( talk • contribs) (00:22, September 12, 2006
Bridget Marquardt (married name) shows up under public records searches as being 33. Bridget Sandmier (maiden name) show up as being 45. Apparently when she got married, she regressed in age by 12 years.
I've always wondered why, and how Bridget is living with Hef. Myself, and some former coworkers from a now renamed and relocated skate shop in Antioch California, (Ooga Booga, now The Vault) have met Bridget, and were introduced to her as being Chad Marquardt's, (the owner's) wife. I met her in 2000, and I knew she had previously been in Playboy, and had seen the magazine that she was in. This just weirds me out that she lives with Hef and even uses Chad's last name still. I wonder if/how she swept all of this under the rug. This is definitely something I'd like to know more about. Maybe someone could investigate a bit.
There should be something added about Bridget's marriage. Bridget's maiden name is Sandmeier. She married Chad Christopher Marquardt in 1997, when she was 24 years old. Bridget is still married to Chad Christopher Marquardt as of November 14, 2006.
What would be an appropriate source to cite? The subject has been discussed at other websites. Is a link to that good enough? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.42.67.67 ( talk • contribs)
Excuse me, but none of this entire article includes any verifiable sources. In fact, her entire biography save for one sentence is copied from her official biography on her fan page. Bridget is married; it's included in her IMDB entry, and I have not seen another entry that requires a copy of the marriage certificate before they will allow it to be included in the entry.
Lucida.ann 18:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
And why does her sister share the last name Marquardt?
Someone should tell her to stop using the name on myspace, then.
If we aren't allowed to have IMDB as a source to confirm Bridget's marriage to Chad Marquardt, then I suggest the link under "References" to Bridget's IMDB entry be removed.
Also, if we aren't allowed to use "self-published" sources, then why is Bridget's Official Website also linked under the "references" section?
Lucida.ann 18:19, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Thank you for your polite answers to my inquiry. I do believe a reliable source such as "the smoking gun" will be forthcoming.

No source on the Izabella St. James portion of her biography. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.59.149 ( talk) 01:58, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
St. James' book was an AUTOBIOGRAPHY not a biography. No other source confirming or denying the information about Bridget. No reference to the book. What's written on paper doesn't make it accurate or true. Just ask James Frey. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.97.59.149 ( talk) 13:48, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

Wiki does not say biographical info from IMdb is unnacceptable. Here is there standard on "Unacceptable usage" The IMDb tends to be weak, or the least, more open for abuse or mis-attribution when discussing less objective matters such as anecdotes and trivia, as well as films which have not yet been released to the general public. Any trivia which was submitted to the film's IMDb entry should presumably have an origin in either secondary sources – interviews or press reports – or primary sources such as DVD extras and commentaries. These are better sources by WP:V's standards and should be used directly in the article if trivia is to be included.
Historically, the IMDb has a bad track record for information about unreleased films, with poor accuracy and timeliness of updates. Any information about unreleased films needs to be sourced from primary or secondary sources, as there is otherwise no way to verify even basic data. As per the film notability guidelines, articles about films should not be added until production is already underway, and even then, only if the film clearly meets existing notability guidelines. And again I am not being snippy just pointing out the facts. So unless as is states in the "Acceptable usage" part about IMdb, unless there is a website stating that she isn't married to Chad Marquardt the IMdb version is perfectly usable. Also on her own personal website she has banner adds for Ooga Booga Inc. oned by her husband(seperated} Chad Marquardt. Rogue Gremlin 03:02, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

I have now changed the status to divorced as the court records from the divorce, which are public, have been posted. This is the court website although I am not sure how to cite it? [3] Second link is not a source but explains the first source. [4] Queer Scout ( talk) 11:47, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
After initially reverting an anon IP's removal of the text about her working at the Spearmint Rhino, I actually looked into this a bit more. The book in question, Bunny Tales, is available on Google Books, and I ran some searches against it. First, neither 'spearmint' nor 'rhino' are ever mentioned in the book. The word 'dancer' is in there twice, but neither result has anything to do with Marquardt. There aren't any other news articles, books or other reliable sources that mention her dancing there, either - and any that do are either mirrors or interpretations of this article. So based on that, I'm going to go against what I've said earlier on this talk page and undo my edit. If anyone feels that strongly about this and they want the text readded, then find the quote in the book and post here before readding it. Also remember that this article needs to uphold WP:BLP, so everything in it really should be accurate and verifiable. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 15:42, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
