In the 1970s, she was part of two short-lived disco groups, The Love Machine and Destination. She played the role of Mrs. Parker in the 1995 movie Friday.

Departure from The Price Is Right

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. 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.

In June 2014, Bradley released her memoirs, Backstage at The Price Is Right: Memoirs of a Barker Beauty.
