Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills Stars Who Were In Major Motion Pictures

It comes as a surprise to no one, but there was life before Real Housewives. The ladies we see on our television screens all have a past, and some of their pasts are quite juicy.

Before getting married or starting a family, some Real Housewives had a completely different life. Specifically in Los Angeles, where dreams of acting often turn into nightmares. Many Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast have paid their dues in Hollywood, even if they aren’t currently paying their Amex card. The life of a thespian is not easy, especially if you take your craft seriously.

Some people were bred for the stage and some… not so much. But several of our RHOBH favorites, past and present, have appeared in big-budget major motion pictures. They’ve also shown up in a few low-budget efforts. Let’s take a look at some of our Beverly Hills babes and see what they’ve done on the big screen versus the small one.

Lisa Jane Vanderpump

RHOBH started with Lisa Vanderpump but she was off and running long before Bravo had a heartbeat. As one of the more glamorous Real Housewives in the history of the franchise, before Lisa opened restaurants, she found herself in the world of “acting.”

While Lisa has made a name for herself in the food-service industry, her acting credits linger in her past. She has previously been in music videos for UK band, ABC, but there was also… a horror movie. Yes, Lisa was in an inexpensive flick called, Killer’s Moon. It was a 1978 British film and Lisa played a girl who was forced to seek shelter after a bus broke down. Unfortunately, she was then terrorized by mental patients on LSD.

Thankfully, Killer’s Moon allowed Lisa to create tools in the acting world she could later use in the real world. What better practice for dealing with Beverly Hills crazy than training yourself with psychos on LSD? I will be on a personal mission to find that movie as soon as possible.

Kyle Egan Richards

No one can forget Kyle Richards’ most memorable role in film. It’s a cult classic. It’s on every single year. Filled with nudity and gore and a tiny Kyle wearing braids and running away from Michael Myers.

Kyle played the character of Lindsey Wallace in the original 1978 movie Halloween. Kyle was only 9 years old at the time, and she developed a long-term relationship with the film’s star, Jamie Lee Curtis. The two are still close today and the Oscar-winning Jamie Lee has appeared on RHOBH several times.

She might be most well-known for being an OG cast member and fighting with her sisters, for horror movie fans, Kyle will always be little Lindsey running from the boogeyman. Or, you know, Lisa Vanderpump. Fans found out Lindsey was still alive and kicking when Kyle showed up in Halloween Kills in 2021 and Halloween Ends in 2022 respectively.

Denise Lee Richards

Before Denise Richards decided to take another go at reality television, she had quite a career in the entertainment industry. Prior to movies and tv, Denise began as a teen model. In the 1990s, things started taking off. Denise appeared in several features but in 1997, Starship Troopers came a-callin’. From that, she went to Wild Things where she kissed another female and every man in the world lost his damn mind.

1999 was a breakout year because Denise nailed the role of a Bond girl. She appeared as Jones, Christmas Jones, in The World Is Not Enough. Denise was also nominated for the Blockbuster Entertainment Award for Favorite Actress for that role.

In recent years, Denise has stayed pretty close to the small screen with Hallmark movies and showing up on RHOBH. After she was treated like absolute crap by her co-stars, Denise left the Bravo show but she has filmed scenes for the show’s most recent season.

Garcelle Beauvais

Ah, the iconic beauty of Garcelle Beauvais has personally haunted me since Coming to America. She has brought a level of panache to RHOBH that it certainly didn’t have prior to her arrival. You’ve seen her in the MCU when she had a role in Spider-Man: Homecoming and she recently did Coming 2 America, a sequel to the first movie.

While Garcelle’s main career is acting, her main role is mom. She authored a children’s book with her twin sons and she is heavily involved with numerous charity organizations.

Garcelle nabbed a first-look development deal in 2022 with NBCUniversal Television and Streaming. So in addition to Real Housewives, her long-term film and television career, and being a devoted mother (and grandmother!), hopefully we’ll be seeing her face for years to come.

Kim Erica Richards

If you are of a certain age, no one had to tell you who Kim Richards was when RHOBH showed up on Bravo. Along with her sister Kyle, she kicked off one of the most popular Real Housewives franchise shows. Kim brought along some memories of her Hollywood past and the current demons she was battling.

Kim was an extremely successful actress in the 1970s and 1980s. She appeared in several popular films, including Escape to Witch Mountain, The Watcher in the Woods, and Tuff Turf. My GOD Tuff Turf was a great movie. Also, I am ancient. Kim was known in the entertainment biz for her natural acting ability and her ability to connect with audiences on an emotional level. Despite facing personal struggles in her life, she continued to work and is still an absolute idol to Disney fans all over the world.

While Kim took a break from filming RHOBH with Kyle, due to a recent feud between Kathy Hilton and Kyle, Kim was brought back by Bravo to film the show’s 13th season.

Dancing With The Stars Pros Maksim Chmerkovskiy And Peta Murgatroyd Reveal The Sex Of Their Second Baby

Finally, some happy news to report! Something must be in the water over at Dancing with the Stars because our pros are procreating. Maksim Chmerkovskiy and Peta Murgatroyd have been together for a long time now. They began dating in 2012 and were engaged in 2015. Maks actually proposed to Peta onstage at a dance event.

They were married about six months after their first son Shai Chmerkovskiy was born in 2017. Prior to Peta’s second pregnancy, she struggled to conceive and shared the heartbreak of a miscarriage in 2020. At the time, she told People, “I was sitting in the bathroom sobbing. That was something that will probably live with me for the rest of my life, being on that toilet by myself, knowing what was happening and not being able to stop it,” Peta added.

Thankfully, the couple were successful in getting pregnant again and Peta and Maks were very pleased to tell the world about Shai’s new sibling. Page Six has the details.

With the assistance of their 6-year-old, the family revealed the gender of their second baby on Instagram. Maks and Peta tripped the light fantastic as Shai could be seen unfolding a piece of paper that announced if his new partner in crime would be a brother or sister.

Peta captioned the moment, “The Chmerkovskiys as a whole are creating their own soccer team LOL! We’re so elated that Shai will get a baby brother and cannot wait to meet this little guy.”

Maks and Peta’s youngling is “measuring quite large” and enjoys kicking “mummy in the ribs at all hours of the night.” Ah, the glamorous side of creating a life. She continued, “Honestly though, when we heard he was fully healthy we both shrieked with joy. There is nothing quite like getting that phone call, with the nurses pause (ugh it’s awful) before telling you they’re all good results!!”

And it looks like Peta might not close up shop after this new little guy arrives. She shared, “We will have a house FULL of boys, including our little Hachi! I guess this means we have to try for baby number 3 to get that girl.”

The couple learned about this gift before starting the IVF process again. “It was a shock to all of us and we found out right before I was going in for my second round of IVF,” Peta said.

“This news has brought extraordinary bliss to our family and we have so much to be grateful for.” Yes, they do. Congratulations to the happy couple on their upcoming arrival!

Top Real Housewives Laugh-Out Loud Moments

In the world of Real Housewives, there are innumerable hilarious moments. The Bravo reality series has its share of classic feuds, painful reunions, and drama. But it also has some hilarity, whether unintended or on purpose. And I’m not talking about some of their more interesting wardrobe choices.

Our ladies might have an amusing, drunken fall in a pile of bushes. Or she might think the Underground Railroad was a functioning method of transportation. Actually, that one might be more sad than it is funny. Some of them have one-liners that are multi-functional and can be used in times of jest or snark, and for that we are grateful.

Let’s take a look at a few fond memories of Real Housewives keeping us in stitches and making us laugh in between the dinner table histrionics.

Real Housewives Of Potomac / The Grand Dame, Karen Huger

Real Housewives of Potomac star Karen Huger didn’t allow much of her natural sense of humor to show in Season 1. Karen was focused on “Potomac etiquette” and teaching the younger women how to respect their elders. But as filming progressed, Karen softened up and began revealing how enjoyably funny she really is.

Season 6, episode 12, was a time when our world changed and we had a new normal. The Covid outbreak required us to stay home, mask up, and get vaccinated. Karen did her job as a dutiful citizen. But she may or may not have had a celebratory adult beverage to acknowledge her new impenetrable immune system.

Karen attended a Reasonably Shady event and she might have been reasonably tipsy because she advised everyone to “get VASSINATED” so she could “be around you heifers.” The RHOP production team also needs recognition here, I actually wish they could edit my life in real time. The editors are absolutely in on the joke and they never, EVER disappoint us.

I also want to add Karen’s wig blowing away at a cookout will always be hysterically funny. Candiace Dillard earned an award that day for her efforts of prayer and commanding the wig to stay on Karen’s head with her bare hands.

Real Housewives Of Atlanta / Phaedra Parks’ Baby Shower

Real Housewives of Atlanta alum Phaedra Parks was primarily known for her Avenger-like powers of reading people for filth. She was also known for getting fired because sometimes her mouth got ahead of her paycheck. But there is no denying Phaedra is one of the funniest Real Housewives in the history of the franchise. That said, here we’re only going to focus on her… baby shower.

Picture it, Season 3, episode 4. It was 2010 and we were all still innocent babes in the woods. Phaedra was preparing to bless the world with royalty and nothing would do but an overdone baby shower. There was a dress code, and there was Dwight Eubanks. Kandi Burruss described the scene as “boughetto” and I’m still shocked guests weren’t required to show ID when they arrived. The entire event was an exercise in complete side-eye amusement. Phaedra’s co-stars could barely contain their laughter and shock as they were treated to a choreographed dance number. Phaedra’s head was adorned with white roses, not in a crown, per se, but they didn’t look carefully placed and they were hanging on for dear life.

There are several elements to this one that deserve to be ranked as one of the funniest. The party itself provided endless moments of eyebrow-raising, but the real stars are the comments from Phaedra’s cast members.

Real Housewives Of New York / Ramona Singer

Okay, I know former Real Housewives of New York OG Ramona Singer isn’t usually clocked for being particularly amusing. But she falls into our “unintentionally funny” category. In Ramona’s case, it’s unintentional because half the time she spoke, I was never sure she knew what she was saying.

One time, Ramona attended a function with her partner-in-crime, Sonja Morgan. Sometimes when Sonja drinks, hang on. ALWAYS when Sonja drinks, her personality develops into more than what the Upper East Side can handle. Sonja felt slighted and sauntered up to Ramona. “Someone just gave me the side-eye,” she revealed. Poor possibly hearing-impaired Ramona responded, “Cyanide? Doesn’t that kill you?” In Ramona’s defense, she wasn’t wrong.

Obviously, it would be too typical to include Ramona’s famous runway walk in this article. It lives in infamy like other great dates on our history calendars. So let’s reflect on an interesting conversation she had with Bethenny Frankel. During one of her more fun arguments with Bethenny, Ramona advised they were like “oil and vinegar” because they “don’t go together”. She meant to say “oil and water” but at least she gave Beth some lovely salad dressing tips.

And if you find yourself trying to recover from a harsh break-up or possibly a job loss, I would invite you to scan RHONY Season 11 for Ramona’s workout ensemble. If that doesn’t make you laugh, you may want to report to your local urgent care facility without haste. Love her or hate her, Ramona was an enormous part of RHONY – and depending on who you talk to, also the reason it was canceled.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey / Juicy Joe Giudice

Have you ever tried to say Juicy Joe Giudice out loud to yourself 10 times in a row? If not, I highly recommend this tongue-twisting exercise. Juicy Joe is gone from Real Housewives of New Jersey, but he definitely isn’t forgotten.

Considering what we are dealing with now as viewers, in hindsight maybe Joe wasn’t so bad after all. I know he called Teresa Giudice the c-word and the couple mutually went to jail for defrauding the government. But at least he wasn’t giving off the sinister vibes most of us feel with Luis Ruelas. And he didn’t wear his father-in-law’s night-night clothes.

Anyway, Joe was a funny guy but not intentionally funny. His ex-wife also fails to be legitimately entertaining. However, she makes up for it with her lack of knowledge in certain areas, thus rendering her funny. But Joe took the cake with some of his more memorable conversations with Teresa’s cousin, Rosie Pierri.

There was that one time Joe and Rosie attempted to help Gia Giudice with her homework. Although Gia might say “help” wasn’t the correct term. Joe and Rosie discussed the benefits of being famous for picking fruit off of trees. “I pick figs all the time, but I’m not famous,” Rosie explained at the time.

They also pondered the wonders of science and discussed Pluto’s relevance as a planet. Joe then revealed he didn’t know the difference between mythology and astronomy when he wondered about the status of planet Hercules.

And who could forget when Joe and Rosie further delved into the world of medicine? Joe inquired about the current virility of his eggs for a conversation revolving around the fine art of reproducing humans. Little did Joe know at the time, biological men do not have eggs in which to form a baby. Bless Joe’s heart. I like to think in some alternate timeline, Joe and Rosie are still best buds.

Real Housewives Of New Jersey / Caroline Manzo’s Kids

I wanted to include one highly underrated scene from the olden days of RHONJ. I know Caroline Manzo isn’t well-liked by many, but her adult kids had some genuinely humorous scenes. While I will never forget Lauren Manzo asking Teresa to spell AND define “napalm” in the Season 4 reunion, today we’re discussing something else Teresa-related.

Tre had “written” a cookbook called Fabulicious. Somewhere in the complex text was an insult aimed at Caroline. Teresa had said Caroline was “as Italian as the Olive Garden.” Caroline wasn’t pleased with this association, and neither were her two sons and daughter. I cannot recommend Season 3, episode 16 enough. If you want some snarky moments directed at Teresa, that is. Much like Teresa’s line in the book, I’m sure she would think this was a “ha ha laugh, funny, get it?” scene.

As Chris Manzo, Greg Bennett, and Lauren headed towards a charity walk, they began to shade both Teresa and Joe in one shot. Chris says, “Things Joe Giudice doesn’t say when he leaves the house, ‘is this legal?’” Greg wonders if Teresa will show up to the event already drunk or drink while she’s walking. Lauren mocks Tre’s efforts at authoring books with, “On top of Skinny Italian, I’m going to write a book on charity walks.” Chris jumps in with, “It’s called Walking Italian because I’m very charityish.” Lauren continues, “I’m going to write a book about my relationship with my sister-in-law called Jealous Italian.” And finally, Greggy adds, “Got an S.A.T. prep book coming out called Stupid Italian.” Please, just stop what you’re doing and go find that enjoyable moment if you’re having a bad day.

So that was the first part of our Laugh Out Loud moments and we know there are many more to come. Stay tuned!
