Kyle Richards Has Done Well In The Acting Industry
Horror movie fans were able to watch Kyle Richards come back to play Lindsey Wallace in 2021's Halloween Kills. Kyle played Lindsey in the 1978 Halloween movie when she was just a kid, and in Halloween Kills, Lindsey helps Tommy Doyle (Anthony Michael Hall) and a group of fed up Haddonfield residents fight Michael Myers.
It seems that Kyle would have been paid nicely to return to the franchise.
Kyle also starred in the Peacock Christmas movie The Housewives of the North Pole alongside Betsy Brandt.
Kyle Richards was interviewed about the Christmas movie and shared that she wasn't a huge fan of the movie's title. While at first it was called The Real Housewives of the North Pole, Kyle wanted the "real" to be gone.
According to UPI, Kyle said, "I cannot escape this world. It was very much its own thing. It's a movie. It's acting and it's separate. I want to keep my acting life separate from my reality world. So I definitely fought to not have that be the title, but clearly lost."
Bravo TV reported that Kyle enjoys celebrating the winter holidays each year so she was thrilled to sign onto the project. Kyle explained, "I also was just drawn to the fact that it's just a feel-good movie. It's a movie about friendship and love and family and young love. And it is just something that makes you laugh and makes you cry and makes you watch with an unbelievable smile on your face. The script was amazing."

When Andy Cohen interviewed Kathy Hilton for his SiriusXM show "Andy Cohen Live," he said that people said that she and Kim Richards were mad that no one was allowed to use cell phones at the wedding. Kathy answered with her typical sense of humor: "What shocked me is that I even left my phone at home."
Kathy told Hollywood Life that Paris had "cold feet" beforehand.
While Kathy has made money from various projects, Kathy Hilton acted as a kid: according to Nicki Swift, she was also in the same industry as her sisters Kyle and Kim Richards. She had small parts on Happy Days, The Rockford Files, Bewitched, and Family Affair. She was even in an advertisement for Dial soap when she was just a baby.
Kyle Richards wants to keep acting and according to People, Kyle said, "It really is my first love and I am enjoying it so much." It looks like Kyle will continue adding to her net worth as she takes on more acting projects.
