Born: 5 October 1983
Birthplace: New York, New York
Best Known As: Hotel heiress and sister to socialite Paris Hilton

An American socialite and wife of Rick_Hilton -- one of the scions of the Hilton hotel dynasty -- multimillionaire Kathy Hilton enjoyed increased celebrity in the mid-2000s thanks in no small part to one of her daughters, media darling and "it girl" Paris_Hilton. In 2005, Kathy briefly headlined her own reality series, I Want to Be a Hilton, which witnessed her teaching aspiring socialites with a marked lack of sophistication how to use proper etiquette.

Nicky Hilton and her older sister Paris are heirs to the Hilton Hotel fortune, known for their jetset party-girl lifestyles. Nicky is named for her grand-uncle Nicholas Conrad "Nicky" Hilton, Jr., the former husband of actress Elizabeth Taylor and the son of Hilton Hotels founder Conrad Hilton.
NIcky's fame has generally been overshadowed by that of her sister Paris, who starred in the long-running reality series The Simple Life. Nicky Hilton announced in 2006 that she would open a line of hotels to be called Nicky O, but by February of 2007 deals in Miami Beach, Florida and Chicago, Illinois had fallen through and she was being sued by a development company for breach of contract.
Nicky Hilton married 33 year-old Todd Andrew Meister in Las Vegas on 15 August 2004, in a ceremony attended by her sister Paris and friend Bijou Phillips. The marriage was annulled in November of the same year.
Kathy Hilton (born Kathleen Elizabeth Avanzino on 13 March 1959 (1959-03-13) (age 48)) is an American socialite and sometime actress. She is also the mother of socialites Paris and Nicky Hilton.

Hilton was born in Whittier, California, the daughter of Laurence K. (Larry) Avanzino, and his wife Sharon Kathleen (Kathy) Dugan (Dugan's paternal line was strongly, if not exclusively, Irish, and her maternal line was French and Swiss -- this based on the U.S. Federal Population Censuses from 1870 to 1930) (1938 – 2002). Her parents later divorced, and her mother went on to marry Ken Richards (1938 - 1998). Her maternal half-siblings are the actresses Kim Richards (born on 19 September 1964 (1964-09-19) (age 43)) and Kyle Richards (born on 11 January 1969 (1969-01-11) (age 38)). She also has two half-brothers and three half-sisters from her biological father's re-marriage.
Hilton had a small part in one theatrical movie, the sci-fi horror The Dark (1979) starring William Devane, Cathy Lee Crosby, Richard Jaeckel, and Keenan Wynn.

Her TV guest appearances include Bewitched, Family Affair, Happy Days, and The Rockford Files. She was one of two final candidates for the role of Jan Brady in The Brady Bunch Hour, the role eventually going to Geri Reischl.
In 2002, she began to sell merchandise on cable TV's QVC home shopping network. In June 2005, she hosted an unsuccessful reality show called I Want To Be a Hilton on NBC.
