How did Paris even become famous in the first place?
Kathy Hilton as a very young girl was always moulded to be a celebrity herself. Her mother wanted her to be very powerful, marry a very rich man. She did half of it. She did marry a very rich man, but unfortunately she never did quite reach that fame. She modelled. She dabbled. Nothing really quite took off. So her one hope was Paris. Not so much Nicky because Nicky had talent. She is a designer. Paris really did not have talent. But she was a beautiful and very thing girl and jewellery looks great on her. So Kathy was like let us make my daughter famous. I am going too live through her. They grew up in New York City. Kathy Hilton was constantly having parties. She promoted Paris via these parties. Her publicist would invite celebrities to meet Paris. Paris would be photographed with these celebrities. And then Paris started going out in the New York fashion scene. She started going out in the New York party scene. She became very famous in New York. But fame in New York can only take you so far. You need Hollywood. So she ran her off to Hollywood and that is when Paris took off is when she got to Hollywood and she was being celebrated. She ran around Hollywood and she was being celebrated and nobody knew quite who she was, but we knew she was rich and we knew she was fabulous and we knew she could go anywhere we could not go. And we wanted that. And then Beauna-Murray, a production company took her on, started The Simple Life and that is when she blew up is when she was featured on E for the Simple Life reality show.
