Kyle Richards
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kyle Richards (born January 11, 1969) in Hollywood, California is an American actress.
She is the daughter of Kenneth L. ("Ken") Richards (June 5, 1932-December 23, 1998) and Sharon Kathleen ("Kathy") Dugan (Omaha, Nebraska, April 7, 1938-died due to breast cancer in Arizona, March 2, 2002). The couple have separated in 1972 and she later remarried one Fenton. Her siblings are the actresses Kathy Richards (born 1959) and Kim Richards (born 1964). [1] Socialites Nicky and Paris Hilton are her nieces, daughters of her sister, Kathy.
Richards began acting in 1975, playing Alicia Sanderson Edwards on the television series Little House on the Prairie; throughout the 1970s, she appeared in several television series and in horror films: The Car, Eaten Alive and Halloween, where she played Lindsey Wallace (the character that the heroine of the film, Jamie Lee Curtis, is babysitting). In 1980, she appeared opposite Bette Davis and Lynn-Holly Johnson in the Disney children's horror film, The Watcher in the Woods, playing a terrorized young girl. Although she made a cameo appearance in Halloween II, most of her 1980s roles were minor, and included made-for-television or video work.
Richards has recently appeared as Nurse Dori on the hit television series, ER. In 2006, she will appear in the film National Lampoon's Pledge This!. It will be her first theatrical release in 16 years. She has also appeared in episodes of the reality series The Simple Life.
Richards is currently married to Mauricio Umansky; the couple have three daughters, Farrah, Alexia and Sophia.
