Vanderpump was an aspiring actress in the 90s and worked sporadically on programs like Silk Stalkings and Baywatch Nights. She eventually found her true calling as a successful restaurateur. However, Vanderpump decided to return to TV in 2010 as herself on the Bravo reality show The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Now the star has combined both careers: Her exclusive restaurant Sur is the setting for the spinoff Vanderpump Rules.
