Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin's Golden Rules for Hollywood Success and Surviving the Spotlight

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin, two Hollywood veterans, share their time-tested advice with their model daughter on navigating the industry's challenges, focusing on kindness, avoiding negativity, and staying humble.

Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin have been traversing the Hollywood landscape for decades, garnering both fame and wisdom along the way. As parents to a budding model, Lisa Rinna and Harry Hamlin have imparted invaluable advice to their daughter, guiding her through the complexities of the industry and the relentless scrutiny of public life.

At the heart of their counsel lies an unwavering emphasis on kindness and empathy: "Be nice to everybody, being kind to everyone no matter who they are, what position they have," Hamlin emphasized to Fox News Digital. Cultivating a mindset that dismisses external validation is crucial, he added: "Whatever anybody else thinks of you is none of your business." This mantra serves as a shield against the negativity that often accompanies the spotlight.

Rinna, acknowledging the inherent difficulty in practicing these principles, stressed the importance of making a conscious effort: "It’s easier said than done, but it helps." The couple's eldest daughter, Amelia Gray Hamlin, echoed her parents' guidance, crediting it as a cornerstone of her approach to life and the fashion industry.

Humility and a relentless work ethic are equally essential, they advised. "Be kind to everyone, and don't complain," Hamlin said, a philosophy Rinna wholeheartedly endorsed. Amelia Gray Hamlin's success in the modeling world serves as a testament to her parents' wisdom, as she has garnered respect for her hard work and dedication.

"Amelia, the way she carries herself, the way she has studied modeling, she’s been working on this for years, and she worked really hard. Her work ethic is a total inspiration to me," Hamlin proudly declared, acknowledging both his daughters, Amelia and Delilah Belle, as sources of inspiration.

Amelia Gray Hamlin's journey, culminating in her recognition as Model of the Year at The Daily Front Row Eighth Annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards, instilled a deep sense of pride in her parents. "This was the first-ever event I attended in fashion when I was 15, about 8 years ago. So, to not only be honored with the award of Model of the Year, but to do it here as my first-ever award is pretty insane. Pinch-me, full-circle dreams really do come true, like oh my god. It means everything. … And to have my friends, my family, my mom and dad, everyone that I love here means everything. I’m really blessed," she expressed.

The lessons she has learned from her parents, Amelia Gray Hamlin believes, have been instrumental in her success: "Be kind. It's really important to be a kind person. I think that I’ve led with that, and it’s honestly what’s gotten me so far. Work hard, but more importantly, you can achieve anything you want as long as you just do it."

"Apply yourself and anyone can kinda pretty much do anything. Sorry if you don’t agree. I do. I’m a firm believer you can have and do whatever you want, and I am the walking, the dang proof," she asserted, referencing the ongoing "nepo baby" discussion within the entertainment industry.

A strong work ethic runs deep in the Hamlin family, with both parents boasting impressive Hollywood careers. Rinna, known for her iconic role in "Melrose Place," expressed her understanding of the potential for a reboot, acknowledging its enduring popularity.

Hamlin, meanwhile, has embraced his culinary passion with his AMC series "In the Kitchen with Harry Hamlin." The actor joked about his motivations for the show, saying, "Don’t ask me why because I don’t know." However, it is evident that his genuine love for food drives his culinary adventures.

"I love to eat, and I like to eat what I like to eat and not what somebody else wants me to eat. That’s why I cook for myself and the kids," he explained. Their diverse experiences and enduring wisdom serve as a testament to the couple's resilience and adaptability in the ever-changing landscape of Hollywood.
