Born July 11, 1963, in Medford, Oregon, Lisa Rinna spent her entire life in her home state -- having attended Medford Senior High School and the University of Oregon -- before moving to Los Angeles where she landed a job as a model for the Wilhemina Agency. Her undeniable beauty helped land her roles on the Valerie Harper sitcom Valerie and as the girlfriend to Jason Bateman's character in several episodes of The Hogan Family, before finally hitting it big as Billie Reed on NBC's seminal soap Days of Our Lives.

After charming audiences as one half of daytime power couple Billie and Bo on Days of Our Lives, Lisa Rinna did a complete 180 when she was cast as the conniving Taylor McBride on FOX's wildly popular prime-time soap Melrose Place. Although she joined the show after its early peak years, Rinna still managed to make her mark by lying, cheating, drugging, birthing, and clawing her way to screen vixen infamy. Since departing the show in 1998, Rinna has managed to maintain a career in television with guest appearances in 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter, Veronica Mars and Entourage, among others.
lisa rinna marries harry hamlin
In 1997, Lisa Rinna married L.A. Law heartthrob Harry Hamlin, and they have since gone on to establish themselves as one of Hollywood's most stable celebrity couples. The parents of Delilah Belle and Amelia Gray have starred in multiple made-for-television movies together including the sex-addiction drama Sex, Lies and Obsession. The couple have been very open about their sex life, especially Rinna, who makes frequent appearances on The Howard Stern Show where she discusses intimate details about various sexual acts that she performs on her husband. She's admitted to taking oral sex classes with friend Cindy Crawford, and has perfected a mysterious hand-oriented technique called "The Basket Weave." Harry Hamlin, your career may be all but dead, but we would still trade places with you in a heartbeat. Kudos.

When Lisa Rinna joined the second season of ABC's surprise smash Dancing With The Stars, men everywhere suddenly stopped making a fuss when their girlfriend's asked them to sit through an episode. Unfortunately, she was eliminated on the seventh episode, and we were forced to endue Jerry Rice's pirouettes instead. Since her elimination, Rinna has taken advantage of her suddenly heightened public profile by replacing Joan Rivers as the host of TV Guide Network's red carpet coverage, and as a guest host on Live with Regis and Kelly. She is also developing a reality show based on her marriage and was recently one of the oldest women to grace the cover of Playboy.
