With her full lips, signature pixie 'do and awe-inspiring body even when pregnant this former model became a small-screen soap vixen. After a handful of TV guest spots, Rinna landed her seminal role as a drug-addicted chanteuse-cum-cosmetics diva on Days of our Lives. By the mid-'90s, she made the move to prime time on the campy drama Melrose Place, playing a conniving restaurateur. During her tenure, she met and married actor Harry Hamlin, and the couple subsequently collaborated on numerous projects, including the TV-movies Sex, Lies and Obsessions and Oh, Baby and on the series Veronica Mars. Rinna solidified her sexpot status when she posed for Playboy while six-months pregnant with her first child, and although Rinna took a brief break in the late '90s to be with her babies, she reemerged in the '00s a reinvented woman. In addition to continuing her acting career, she added hosting, dancing and retail to her resume. As a sassy small-screen personality, she cohosted SoapNet's Soap Talk, earning a trio of Daytime Emmy nods, as well as the hair-raising reality competition Tease and the home-improvement series Merge. She also opened the trendy, high-end boutique belle grey, named in honor of her two children. But in 2006, Rinna really boosted her profile and buffed up her bod as one of the celebrity competitors on the second edition of Dancing with the Stars. Although she didn't win, she cut a winning figure on the dance floor, and her slick moves helped her and hubby Hamlin (a Season 3 DWTS vet) snag leads in the Broadway smash Chicago in 2007. That same year, she made her debut as a hot host and red-carpet commentator for TV Guide Channel, replacing the mother-daughter duo of Joan and Melissa Rivers.
