Date of Birth : 17 February 1981, New York City, New York, USA
Birth Name : Paris Whitney Hilton
Nickname :Star Princess
Height : 5' 8" (1.73 m)
Mini Biography
Socialite Paris Hilton was born on February 17, 1981 in New York
City into the Hilton family and, along with her three younger
siblings, is heir-apparent to the vast Hilton hotel and real
estate dynasty. Her childhood was spent in palatial dwellings
in the priciest neighborhoods on both coasts and featured a
brief flirtation with the educational system, including high
schooling at the ultra-exclusive Dwight School, from which she
dropped out and ultimately earned her high school GED.Living
the glitzy socialite life from a relatively early age,
attending exclusive parties and being covered by the gossip
press, Hilton apparently became hooked on obtaining celebrity
status, which was perhaps furthered by the example of her
mother, Kathy Hilton, who had a brief acting career herself,
mostly on TV. Hilton began a remarkable and well-financed
campaign to put herself in the public eye, on screen, on
television and in music. This effort has included a
substantial amount of physical alteration. A naturally
pleasant-looking girl, Hilton underwent extensive plastic
surgery, hair coloring and tinted contact lenses in her
attempt to reinvent herself as "hot". Sadly, money could
not buy alteration of the physical attribute she most
dislikes about herself: her exceptionally-large feet.
Some skeptics have guessed that the endless parade of inane
inter-celebrity feuds centering around Hilton are, in fact,
publicity stunts, another front in the campaign to keep her
exposure level high. It has even been argued that the infamous
home video of Hilton with then-boyfriend Rick Salomon, in which
Hilton performs explicit romantic activities with Rick Salomon,
was part of this campaign as well. If it was, it worked. For
better or for worse, it made Hilton a household name overnight,
and was even widely marketed as a video, 1 Night in Paris (2004)
(V).Eventually Hilton's efforts paid off and she got some
modeling work, the designers presumably relying on her notoriety.
She has been an increasing presence on-screen too, in TV
commercials, on TV series and in the movies, at first bit parts
in movies such as Zoolander (2001), WonderlandThe Cat in the Hat
(2003) and guest-star roles on TV shows such as "The O.C." (2003)
and "George Lopez" (2002), but later more substantial roles in
horror flick House of Wax (2005), the direct-to-DVD Bottoms Up
(2006) (V) and her own TV show, the fish-out-of-water reality
series "The Simple Life" (2003).
Hilton also has plans to become a player in the music business,
has recorded an album and even started her own music label,
Heiress Records, in order to release it.
Hilton is widely scorned for what some see as her narcissism,
shallow intellect and materialism and for other things besides,
but she seems to be aware of the old adage that there's no such
thing as bad publicity and it should be evident even to her
detractors that she is ambitious and driven to achieve, rather
than simply basking in her family's vast fortune, as do so many
other socialites. In fact, performing is only part of her many
activities and she has dabbled in designing, writing (one hastens
to add, with a professional writer on the team), nightclub
management and even marketing video games - all of which feature
Paris Hilton, front and center. (2003),
