Richards’ career in Hollywood began at an early age, when she worked as a child actress on “Little House on the Prairie,” “The Car” and “The Watcher in the Woods.” She also starred in the ’80s sitcom, “Down to Earth,” and appeared in more than a dozen episodes of the TV medical drama, “ER.”
As Richards rebranded as a “Housewife” on Bravo, she also launched two self-named clothing collections and opened multiple boutique storefronts.
Viewers also caught a glimpse of Richards attempting to mend familial tensions with her older sisters, Kathy Hilton and Kim Richards.
Kathy’s daughter, Paris Hilton, announced she welcomed a son via surrogate with her husband, Carter Reum, earlier this year.
Umansky has since built a global real estate business, The Agency, and boasts millions of sales annually.
