Elisa became
Playmate of the Month in May 1993 and her stunning good looks
made her an instant sensation among the mag's readers. She
stayed in Los Angeles to pursue an acting and modeling career,
but quickly got caught up in the city's hard partying fast lane.
A quiet and shy young woman most of the time, Elisa often found
herself drinking to help loosen up at Hollywood shindigs.
Dabbling in drugs followed close behind.
Elisa's story came
to a tragic end on February 7, 2002, when she was found dead of
an accidental drug overdose. She had been staying at the
luxurious mansion of Edward Nahem, a long-time acquaintance of
Hugh Hefner. Nahem found Elisa dead in bed when he came home
that evening. The official coroner's report listed her cause of
death as "acute intoxication by the combined effects of heroin,
methamphetamine, meperidine and Alprazolam." Elisa Bridges was
29 years old. |
