Filmography
From daytime bombshell to primetime vixen, Rinna is no stranger to television. She received national recognition while starring on NBC's Days of Our Lives from 1992 to 1995, as the beautiful yet deplorable Billie Reed. She soon segued into the primetime spotlight playing Taylor McBride on Aaron Spelling's international hit show Melrose Place from 1996 to 1998. In 2002, Rinna was named co-host of Soap Talk, the daily lifestyle show that airs on SOAPnet, for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award nomination. In addition, she reprised the role of Billie Reed on Days of our Lives for a brief stint in 2002 and is now hosting the series Merge on Lifetime. Rinna starred in the Lifetime movie Sex, Lies & Obsession opposite husband Harry Hamlin. Her previous Lifetime movie, Another Woman's Husband, boasted one of the highest ratings for a movie on Lifetime since 1999. She also guest-starred on an episode of Movie Stars for the WB, the first ever on-screen appearance she shared opposite her husband. Rinna nabbed her first role in the feature film Good Advice, starring Charlie Sheen and Jon Lovitz.
Rinna and Hamlin had recurring roles as a married couple on the first season of the television series Veronica Mars. Her character, Lynn Echolls, committed suicide by jumping from a bridge. At first there is speculation that her death was faked, which is believed by her son, Logan Echolls. In the next episode, a body is seen falling from the bridge in footage from the time she was meant to have been there, seen in an indie film being shot by some freshmen at Neptune High. However, her body is never found.
Rinna has recently guest-hosted Live with Regis and Kelly.
In 1998, Rinna created a stir when she appeared nude while six months pregnant in the September 1998 issue of Playboy magazine.
