Biography Socialite Paris Hilton was born on February 17, 1981 in New York
City into the Hilton family and, along with her three younger siblings,
is heir-apparent to the vast Hilton hotel and real estate dynasty. Her
childhood was spent in palatial dwellings in the priciest neighborhoods
on both coasts and featured a brief flirtation with the educational system,
including high schooling at the ultra-exclusive Dwight School, from which
she dropped out and ultimately earned her high school GED. Living the glitzy
socialite life from a relatively early age, attending exclusive parties
and being covered by the gossip press, Hilton apparently became hooked
on obtaining celebrity status, which was perhaps furthered by the example
of her mother, Kathy Richards, who had a brief acting career herself, mostly
on TV. Hilton began a remarkable and well-financed campaign to put herself
in the public eye, on screen, on television and in music. This effort has
included a substantial amount of physical alteration. A naturally pleasant-looking
girl, Hilton underwent extensive plastic surgery, hair coloring and tinted
contact lenses in her attempt to reinvent herself as "hot". Sadly, money
could not buy alteration of the physical attribute she most dislikes about
herself: her exceptionally-large feet. Some skeptics have guessed that
the endless parade of inane inter-celebrity feuds centering around Hilton
are, in fact, publicity stunts, another front in the campaign to keep her
exposure level high. It has even been argued that the infamous home video
of Hilton with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, in which Hilton performs explicit
romantic activities with Rick Salomon, was part of this campaign as well.
If it was, it worked. For better or for worse, it made Hilton a household
name overnight, and was even widely marketed as a video, 1 Night in Paris
(2004) (V). Eventually Hilton's efforts paid off and she got some modeling
work, the designers presumably relying on her notoriety. She has been an
increasing presence on-screen too, in TV commercials, on TV series and
in the movies, at first bit parts in movies such as Zoolander (2001), Wonderland
(2003), The Cat in the Hat (2003) and guest-star roles on TV shows such
as "The O.C." (2003) and "George Lopez" (2002), but later more substantial
roles in horror flick House of Wax (2005), the direct-to-DVD _Bottom's
Up (2006)_ and her own TV show, the fish-out-of-water reality series "The
Simple Life" (2003). Hilton also has plans to become a player in the music
business, has recorded an album and even started her own music label, Heiress
Records, in order to release it. Hilton is widely scorned for what some
see as her narcissism, shallow intellect and materialism and for other
things besides, but she seems to be aware of the old adage that there's
no such thing as bad publicity and it should be evident even to her detractors
that she is ambitious and driven to achieve, rather than simply basking
in her family's vast fortune, as do so many other socialites. In fact,
performing is only part of her many activities and she has dabbled in designing,
writing (one hastens to add, with a professional writer on the team), nightclub
management and even marketing video games - all of which feature Paris
Hilton, front and center. "Paris the Heiress" is first-born in the latest
generation of the Hilton family, of swanky hotel fame. Fat trust fund aside,
she is also known for being a high-society party girl, part-time model,
and quasi-actress. overall rating 73 Paris Hilton sets the standard for
the wealthy, twenty-something socialites of the 21st century. Her privileged
upbringing as heiress to the Hilton millions and her whirlwind itinerary
of partying make her seem like a perfect subject for Lifestyles of the
Rich and Famous. Even a life that is such an Epicurean feast is not without
its hiccups. Paris has garnered attention in the tabloids for her connections
with movie stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio and Edward Furlong, not to mention
a sex tape that made its way onto the Internet. And she hasn't helped matters
with her obnoxious conduct at a number of functions and parties at such
high-profile venues as the notorious Studio 54, which has been duly publicized
by the gutter press.
