In addition to her film and TV roles, she starred in dozens of commercials throughout her acting career.
With such an accomplished resume, you might be wondering why she ever quit acting.
Aside from a couple of cameos, she hasn’t had an acting role since 1995.
She explained, “The acting business gives you up, rather than you giving it up.”
Vanderpump is fine not acting these days, though, having set her sights on other goals.
They met when she was helping out at a club her brother worked at.
“We got engaged after six weeks and we were married within three months,” said Vanderpump.
“He still drives me crazy,” she joked.
“But life’s about making things work.”
Vanderpump and Todd also have two kids together, a daughter named Pandora and a son named Max.
“I became one of those obsessive mothers,” she confessed toBustle.
As she put it, “I love hard.
I feel very possessive about my children, my animals, my husband.
If I’m in, I’m in big time.”
That number is up for debate.
Even Vanderpump herself would be hard-pressed to give an exact number.
Her hesitation had nothing to do with disliking reality TV, as some might think.
And it wasn’t even because she was concerned about the time commitment.
Thank goodness she overcame her reservations!
Unfortunately, the tension didn’t improve as Vanderpump’s fame grew.

Vanderpump is also working on a memoir, making it clear toEntertainment Tonightthat it will not be ghostwritten.
Vanderpump added that “it’s a motivational book” that also delves into her own life.
“I was emotionally depleted,” she admitted toExpress.
After her brother’s death, Vanderpump went on anti-depressants and also started going to therapy.
It wasn’t just working through her grief that made staying on the show difficult, though.
Will we ever seeVanderpump on “RHOBH” again?That depends.
“I left under pretty sad circumstances.
… there was no joy in that situation,” she said.
I just think it was just awful timing and stupid and ignorant."
“I hope that will be my legacy,” she toldPeopleof the foundation.
Being on “RHOBH” helped amplify the cause, and the foundation has had quite an impact.
In fact, a lot of things have captured her interest over the years, including her philanthropic work.
Among her many philanthropic causes is advocating for the LGBTQIA+ community, global hunger, and Alzheimer’s awareness.
It doesn’t matter if you’re f***ing qualified or not."
She joked, “So if Trump can do it, maybe I can.
Vandertrump for President!”
“I’m way too naughty way too salacious,” she told the outlet.
