Paris’s Aunts To Join “Real Housewives” Show

Kyle and Kim Richards, former child actors who are Kathy Hilton’s younger sisters and aunts to Paris Hilton and Nicky Hilton, could be the stars of Bravo’s upcoming Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. The Richards sisters are lower-profile than their superfamous Hilton relatives, but they travel in circles no less tony.

Kyle Richards, 41, who is married and has four daughters, is no stranger to reality TV. Richards has already appeared on niece Paris’ shows The Simple Life and My New BFF.

Kim and Kyle both acted in major motion pictures and TV shows throughout the 1970s. Kyle had a recurring role on Little House on the Prairie; Kim appeared in the short-lived series Nanny and the Professor and the cult-fave kids’ movies Escape to Witch Mountain and Return to Witch Mountain.

Production on the Beverly Hills version of the Housewives franchise would begin in March; the cast would have a 10-month commitment. Bravo is continuing with callbacks now for the remaining spots on the show.
