PHOTOS – Real Housewives of Beverly Hills Before They Were Famous!

It’s that time of the year RT readers!

As the first season of the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills begins to come to an end, we are bringing you some old school photos of your favorite BH housewives. Above is one of Lisa Vanderpump with husband Ken Todd during their earlier years of marriage.

Below are way more before they were famous photos including one of Adrienne Maloof before plastic surgery, well before most of the plastic surgeries (she looked much nicer by the way), plus some high school photos of Taylor Armstrong, bikini shots of Kyle Richards and Lisa, Camille Grammer before she became a villain and a much younger foxier Kim Richards.

  1. Camille looks so good in the last picture!
    Taylor looks completely different, and looked much better when she had her normal lips.
    Kyle and Kim were always gorgeous, of course.
    Adrienne & Paul are too cute!

  2. Lol….this is why pictures are great!!! They capture true memories…….

    Both Kyle and Kim did not change much.

    Taylor is a totally different person today …SMH

    Lisa and Camille changed just slightly.

    Adrienne actually looked better with a little bit more weight on.

    Ken really didn’t change much…….

    Love the pics!!!!

    Wa Wa Wa WHAT!

    THANK YOU RT – for that pic of Mauricio…I was waiting –

    They all look great -
    Kyle is beautiful
    Adrienne looks better in these before pics
    Love Lisa – beautiful
    Kim was super cute
    Taylor looks so different – when I see her on the show now she reminds me of Julia Roberts especially in the eyes and the jaw

    and I’m guessing that last photo of Camille was on set for The Naked Detective

  4. When I see any photos of Kim from her kid years I just want to yell “Prudence”, the photo of she and Kyle as kids wow they look so much alike, they look great. Lisa can help but look good.

    I wonder what Taylor would look like now if she hadn’t all the work done,, Camille was a cute kid!!

  5. I love the “before” pictures! Kim doesn’t look like she has had any plastic surgery or botox. Her face looks the way it should at her age and I applaud her for that.

    Taylor is just plain unrecognizable and she looks really fake.

    Adrienne looks fake too, but I love her so I have a hard time being critical but she was gorgeous before the surgery. She shouldn’t have gone so far.

    Lisa’s plastic surgery is done well. Minor changes that make her look younger without changing her overall appearance.

  6. I think Taylor looks completely different….. I didn’t even recognize her!

  7. Lisa is absolutely stunning – reminds me of a young Jane Seymour.
    Kyle looks like a young Demi Moore – she must have had a nose job.
    Young Kim is quite stunning – though her last marriage must have done her in to have aged so much.
    Adrienne – would have liked to have seen her as a teenager – both pictures look like she just had some work done.
    Taylor – a totally different person and not for the better.
    What to say about Camille?! – Nothing special.

  8. Excuse me – took a longer look at the first picture of Lisa – to me she looks like a young Elizabeth Taylor. Anyone agree?

  9. Kim was super cute when she was younger.

    Kyle looks the same – same hairdo through the years LOL.

    Taylor – WAY better when she was younger.

    Adrienne – Looks better before.

    Lisa – Looks great as usual.
    Where is a giggy puppy pic in this mix?

    Camille – looks a little amped on that last pic.

  10. Lisa is so beautiful! She has aged so gracefully and whatever (minimal) work she has had done she chose well. And I think her and Ken are just too cute!

    I would never have recognized Taylor.

    Overall, a very good looking bunch.

  12. The Vanderpumps have aged the best, IMO. Ken looks the exact same, same hairdo although a little greyer. Those dang men who age so well.
    Lisa just looks better, more beautiful.
    The other girls have all changed so much I think the only one I would recognize is Kim.
    Thanks for the photos, always fun to see.

  13. Thanks RT, these are great!!

    zOMG… Mauricio….

    Adrienne looked so much better. I think she and Paul looked somehow similar before, like happy married couples sometimes do.

    Lisa was so pretty. She’s a little different now, but has shown very good taste with whatever work she’s done.

    Camille looked nice in her Club MTV days.

    Taylor just makes me sad everything she does. She was very pretty, shouldn’t have gotten the Daisy Duck lip implant.

    Kyle and Kim are lovely.
    I googled Kim and James Spader (curious after WWHL) and found this goofy movie they were in together in the ’80′s, Tuff Turf. I was surprised to see how pretty she was. Here…

  14. Wow! I would not have recognized Taylor! By the way, I heard Taylor is not her real name does anyone know?

  15. God Taylor RUINED her face!!!

  16. Tuff Turf – Loved that movie – LOL

    SpoiledEastCoast

    Looks like an 80′s yearbook LMAO

  18. taylors name was Shana Ford or Hughes. Hopefully there isn’t a beverly/Danielle thing going on here.
    She was so pretty. She should have left her face alone.
    I thought Kyle said she had her nose done. Not much difference, pretty either way. Can’t imagine her as a blonde like when she was little.

  19. In the picture with her son, Lisa looks like Ann Margaret. What a beautiful lady!

  20. That last pic of Camille is from her Club MTV days.

    In the first pic of Kyle, you can also see some of Paris Hilton in that face – makes sense since Paris is her niece.

    Adrienne is not pretty at all. She has very masculine features and would probably not garner much attention as a looker had she not been a Maloof. I hate to be rude, but she isn’t pretty, and isn’t any better with plastic surgery.

  21. Also, Taylor’s plastic surgery makes it impossible to smile with both her eyes and her mouth at the same time. In these old pics she looked happy and the smiles were genuine. In today’s smiles her eyes don’t move and it’s nothing but a display of teeth.

  22. What’s wrong with Camille’s left (her left) eye? You can see it alot nowadays when she talks… but even in that big-80′s-hair picture back in her dancing days, that left eye is still a little squinty….

    I can’t believe how GORGEOUS Taylor was!!!! Why on earth would she get all, or for that matter, ANY work done on her beautiful face???? Poor thing! Her daughter looks more like her than I thought.

    The rest look super cute…..has Ken changed at all in the past 20 years? *S*.

    RT you should have posted the photo of Camille from her skinimax film.

  24. @18.. I just read the Taylor name thing in a magazine… her mother remarried and the new last name was Taylor. Story goes that kids started calling her Taylor so she changed it to her first name. At any rate, there is something very wrong when a person completely morphs into someone totally unrecognizable…

    & how the heck can anyone say Adrienne looks better pre-plastic surgery? I’ve yet to see any natural pre-op pics yet! lol

    Kudos to Kim for aging gracefully :)

    & note to Kyle: whacking off about 74 inches of your hair would cut your “age” in half!

  25. I think Kim is the cutest among all these women. Poor Taylor…it is to late to reverse the lips?? She also looks like she had cheek implants.

    Lisa was always beautiful. Kyle looked like the “mean girl”, even back then. And Camille?? Who cares, lol…

  26. @25 – She looks like Handsome Squidward. She told Andy on WWHL she had an upper lip implant in the ’80′s, and would need surgery to remove it, so she’s not sure she wants to.

    Hm…. I wonder if she just believes her mouth is sexier with it in, the way she keeps showing it off (her mouth).

  27. I’ve seen some of these pics on bravo.com.

    I’m prolly in the minority or even the only one
    that thinks the both Kyle and Lisa (at times)
    look kind of manly “a la LuMan”.

    It could the be strong lines around the mouth … the thick eyebrows … I don’t know
    exactly, but something about them at times
    doesn’t make them 2 feminine. For example,
    when Lisa dressed as Victor/Victoria in Taylor’s Roaring 20′s party.

    Maybe it’s their strong square/rectangular faces.

    Paul has a funny harlequin / jester look in those pics.

    The younger Kim pic reminds me of her oldest daughter. She has a nice family.

    K-meal’s deep-set eyes remind me of Ramona’s Crazy Eyes. That last pic looks like an old Ann Margaret pose.

  28. It does look like Taylor had cheek implants too. You can see from the childhood pic that she has a naturally very wide jaw, I just have no idea why she’d accentuate it even further with the lip implant when her lips looked perfectly fine before!

    Kim and Kyle look like they’ve had the least amount done and I credit them for that. I’ve also noticed Camille’s eyes look off, but she’s still very pretty.

    I think Adrienne looks good now, for the most part, but she has to stop – if she goes any further, she’ll look like a mannequin. Actually she somewhat already does, but I like her so I’m being nice about it :-)

    Lisa is just beautiful I think….beautiful now, beautiful when she was younger….how come I didn’t know her hub’s name was Ken Todd? That seemed like something new for me to learn tonight. Just how did they get their wealth? Does anyone know?

  29. I know I am in the minority as I say this but aside from the lip implant I think Taylor is a pretty woman and I don’t find her half as mean and catty as some of the other ladies on the show. I do however think she deserves better than Russell for a husband, he’s too cold and odd

    Real Bullsh!t

    Camille looks like a demon child.

    how's lexi?

    Kim is the only one that seems completely natural uh?

    Lisa looks super different on the 1st pic pretty but different

    Addrienne looks the exact same now. Could it be she does not have as many surgeries as she claims? Maybe she is just plastic naturally LOL

    And finally I’m deeply “jealous” and “insecure” about camille last pic LOL maybe I should get me a surrogate mother !

  32. Taylor, Adrienne and her hubby shouldn’t do anything else to their faces. Lisa, Kyle, Kim are gorgeous. Also, when was Taylor poor and abused? She looked like the typical All American Girl in those pics.

  33. wow lisa taylor kyle adrienne kim even camille look soooooooooo amazing when they were young ..camille she look super amazing in the last pix of her.

  34. Kyle looks the best hands down-she is also one of the youngest so it has a lot to do with age. She needs to donate her,she would look even better if she lopped off 12-14 inches. Kim has boat loads of sun damage, stay out of the sun ladies it’s so very very bad for you! Adrienne is a science project I hate to say it because I love her personality but her face is just OMG. Lisa is elegant and lovely for her age. Taylor was such a pretty teen who in their right mind would have changed her face at all? Her doc should be shot by firing squad. Camille is ugly in which equals ugly out.

  35. I think Lisa is the prettiest. Kim was cute, too. The others all look like they’ve had nose jobs.

  36. taylor does not even look like herself anymore…

    I was going to say something really bad about Camille–but both her and Kelsey are getting a free pass from me this week. The Game was back on network TV last nite after a 2 yr hiatus and it brought the drama! Kelsey Grammer’s production company executive produces it, so I wouldn’t care if the pictures showed Camille shooting up black tar heroin and kicking a puppy —I’m feeling magnanimous for all things Grammer this week ;o)
    She actually was a cute kid, and wasn’t too bad looking in her Club MTV days before she went overboard with whatever she does–not sure if it’s fillers or surgery or whatever.
    Lisa as always–looks great and you can see the genuine family love radiating from their photos. She has had work done , no doubt about that, but it was tasteful and done to enhance the beauty the already had not completely remake her.
    Taylor—i’m playing armchair therapist here, but given her childhood –the complete obliteration of her face and changing of name doesn’t surprise me. She wants nothing to do with that person and wants to erase it—I wonder what her father looks like? If she looks like him, I can see a person trying to erase any traces of the person they saw abusing their mother from the image they see in the mirror.
    Kyle and Kim looked great when they were young and still look great today.

  38. Lisa looks like Nancy Karagen. She still looks amazing.

  39. Article should be titled, “How Plastic Surgery Ruined My Face”.

    Taylor has erased any vestige of her natural cuteness and has morphed her face into a death mask.

    Adrienne wasn’t working w/much to begin with, poor dear, and as #20@Amy noted, she looks like a man. Marrying a plastic surgeon was not a good thing for her. She seems to have requested that he erase all evidence of her Middle Eastern roots.

    Kyle is mannish, sorry. Kim–alcohol takes it’s toll and evidently makes your nose look like a hawk’s beak.

    Camille’s dead eyes were evident even in childhood. She looks like one of the “Children of the Corn”.

    Beautiful Lisa: The only true beauty in the entire Housewives franchise. Her strong sense of self shines bright.

  40. VERY INTERESTING: Camille Grammer interviewed on Howard Stern’s show today. To read re-cap, try marksfriggin.com for a comprehensive report.

    I caught the tail end of it, and she seemed to have revealed LOTS of ugly details about her sex life w/Kelsey (or lack thereof). He won’t be happy.

    A female called in to tell Camille she was a Butterface, which Camille attributed to jealousy. Great stuff.

  41. “Before They Were Famous!”? You mean, Before They Were Fabulous!? ;-) Yes they’re fabulous! :)

    I like Taylor’s old look better. It is sad that she made bad decision to messed up her look.

    Kyle & Lisa still look beautiful! :)

    Kim looks much better today than she was younger. She looked like she had bad makeup at that time. Glad she tone it down.

    Camille… She still miserable by now. I have to be honest with you guys she still look good by now even she is evil.

    Adrienne… She shouldn’t take too much plastic surgery… She wasn’t look bad when she were younger.

    #40 Phoebe… Here is the audio clip with Camille on Stern’s show. She is playing it “coy” as she does on RHBH.

    http://www.radaronline.com/exclusives/2011/01/audio-camille-grammer-implies-kelsey-likes-dress-a-woman

  43. I heard the Howard Stern interview. Camille kept saying to Howard “you said it not me” about the horrible things she alluded to about Kelsey. It sounded exactly the way she talked to Kyle. She also talked about her settlement. She was offered both the Malibu house and the 1 in Hawaii. This has to be a huge chunk of the $50 million. She said she was thinking about it and would sell the houses and downsize. Of course because she wouldn’t get enough cash to live off of and keep the houses. She also mentioned something about her son spending time now with Kelsey and did say she flew in with her daughter and Didi. Didn’t mention nannies. She did contradict herself a lot too. I found her surrogate explanation implausible or lacking details of her infertility. She said they tried but couldn’t have a baby but also said they never had sex. She also said she found out about her marriage ending from friends while in Hawaii which according to the show was before the NY trip.
    What’s with Shauna/Taylor’s witness protection makeover? Someone out here must know the details. Her name change and complete makeover just seems like something to hide or run from more than witnessing domestic violence.

    For Camille’s interview on Howard Stern, you have to scroll down to Camille’s part at 8 am.

  45. Wow, these pics say a lot. Where to begin? Kyle is my fave Beverly Hills housewife (but she may be tied with Lisa — I love her sardonic wit), and these photos show how attractive she’s always been. As many times as I’ve watched the original “Halloween,” I never knew she played Lindsay until recently, lol. She also appeared in the Disney film that used to scare me when I was a kid, “The Watcher in the Woods” with the late Bette Davis. As an 80′s kid, I think my interest in this cast is piqued by two of the most popular child actresses of that time. Every time I see Kim — also very pretty — I think of her as Tia in “Escape to Witch Mountain.”

    Out of all these pics, the ones that evoke the most sadness are those of Taylor, who was very pretty when she was younger. As someone mentioned, the surgery and other changes she has undergone indicate her need to create an entirely new identity, and based on her experiences with domestic abuse, I think that is a form of escapism. It’s horrible that any child witnessed the violence that was once part of her life, and the subsequent emotional and physical impact is palpable.

  46. Taylor is so gross and oh look, she was a butch gymnast too. What is up with her temples? Why are they soooo sunk in they require 5 gallons of Juvederm per temple?? Is she a living skull with no temple muscle whatsoever? And who told her to get that stupid lip implant? Was that a 90′s thing? It was probably fad for 1 year and then docs were like oh this isn’t good, let’s find fillers instead.

  47. 47
    how's lexi?

    Here is a report of the interview, she’s sayin they hadn’t had sex in 6 yrs and she didn’t deny that he may b gay! This shh is explosive http://marksfriggin.com/news.htm#wed

  48. So, just how did Kim’s nose get so gigantic?

    Lisa and Ken are just the most fairy tale couple — from their home, to their charm, to their beautiful looks, etc. Time has treated them very well. Both show strength of self I really like and appreciate.

    I think Kim would look better with a tad bit of color esp. on her lips. White gloss doesn’t do it for her.

    Camille could be a beautiful woman – if she could drop that heavy black heart she lugs around with her — She could be the evil queen in a Walt Disney movie.

    Adrienne and Paul were a cute young couple, yeah?!

  50. Kim and Lisa are the two that have aged the most naturally and gracefully. I love Lisa’s sense of self and Kim’s natural beauty ( I alway thought she was beautiful–even as a kid) She reminds me of my daughters bff mom. And a wonderful committed mom to boot! Yay Kim! I think Taylor has some deep issues which may be why her husband is emotionally MIA –I couldn’t deal with the insecurity either. Remaining cast are extras–with the exception of Kyle’s hubby–hubba hubba he’s handsome!
