Born in Los Angeles on May 9, 1985, Audrina Patridge finished high school in Placentia, California.

It was then in 2005 that she started being recognized by fans.

Patridge, one of the core casts of the show, was Conrad and fellow cast member Heidi Montag's roommate. Her romantic relationships became public under the watchful eyes of the viewers. She had dated the band 30 Seconds to Mars' Shannon Leto, supporting cast member Brian Drolet, and Justin Bobby Brescia.

As shown on the show, she worked as a receptionist at the photo studio Quixote Studios in Los Angeles. She also worked at Epic Records before the series' second season filming started.

In March 2007, Patridge and MTV announced the launch of the first-ever celebrity inspired digital fashion line. The line was available on the Virtual Hills website.

A year later, the aspiring model/actress was plagued with scandal when her nude pictures surfaced on the Web. The photos, taken when she was in high school, had revealed a naughtier side to her sweet and innocent image. She explained that she took the pictures when she was just starting to model and she never wanted them submitted to Playboy.

In May, she landed her first film role in "Into the Blue 2." She is the first cast from the show who has been offered a big screen role.
