Early Life & Education

Lisa Vanderpump was born Lisa Jane Vanderpump on September 15, 1960, in Dulwich, London, England.

Her ethnicity is primarily English, with some Dutch and German ancestry traced through her family lines—her surname “Vanderpump” is of Dutch origin, though her paternal lineage has been rooted in England since at least the 18th century, and her maternal side includes German heritage from a great-great-great-grandfather.

Information about her religious beliefs is not widely publicized, and she has not openly discussed adhering to a specific faith, suggesting it may not play a prominent public role in her life.

She was the younger of two children born to John Vanderpump, an art director in the advertising industry, and Jean Vanderpump, who passed away in 2019. Lisa grew up alongside her older brother, Mark Vanderpump, who tragically took his own life in 2018, a loss that deeply affected her. Before moving to the United States, she also lived in Monte Carlo and the south of France, experiences that shaped her cosmopolitan outlook.

From the age of nine, Lisa pursued a passion for acting, enrolling as a full-time drama student at the Corona Academy in London. This early education in the performing arts laid the groundwork for her initial career, as she began appearing in films and television shows as a child.

Her debut came at 13 with an uncredited role as Julia Allessio in the 1973 film A Touch of Class, followed by her first credited television role at 14 as Ursula Marsh in John Halifax, Gentleman in 1974.

Career

Lisa Vanderpump’s career spans acting, entrepreneurship, television, and philanthropy, highlighting her versatility and business acumen. She began as a child actress in the 1970s, training at London’s Corona Academy from the age of nine.

Her early work included an uncredited role in A Touch of Class (1973) at 13 and a credited TV debut in John Halifax, Gentleman (1974). Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, she appeared in British television series such as Something in Disguise (1982), music videos for ABC’s Poison Arrow (1982) and (How to Be a) Millionaire (1984), and the horror film Killer’s Moon (1991). However, as her career evolved, acting gave way to new ventures.

Vanderpump’s entrepreneurial journey began after marrying Ken Todd in 1982. The couple entered the hospitality industry, combining Lisa’s design expertise with Ken’s business experience to build a portfolio of over 30 restaurants, bars, and clubs across London and Los Angeles.

Their success started with London hotspots like The Shadow Lounge before expanding to the U.S., where they opened iconic West Hollywood venues such as SUR (1998), Villa Blanca (2009, closed in 2020), Pump (2014), and TomTom (2018, co-owned with Tom Sandoval and Tom Schwartz). Lisa’s hands-on approach to management and signature interior design style helped create chic, sought-after destinations.

Her television career skyrocketed in 2010 when she joined the original cast of The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills (RHOBH). Her British charm, sharp wit, and glamorous lifestyle made her a fan favourite, leading to her own spin-off, Vanderpump Rules (2013–present), which follows the lives of her SUR staff. She has also appeared on Dancing with the Stars (2013), produced Vanderpump Dogs (2021) on Peacock, and authored the lifestyle book Simply Divine: A Guide to Easy, Elegant, and Affordable Entertaining (2011).

Beyond television, Vanderpump is a dedicated philanthropist. She co-founded the Vanderpump Dog Foundation in 2016 to fight animal cruelty, particularly the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, and established the Vanderpump Dogs Rescue Center in Los Angeles. A staunch advocate for the LGBTQ+ community, she has been honoured for her activism, including receiving a Golden Palm Star in Palm Springs in 2014.

Expanding her brand further, she has launched product lines such as Vanderpump Pets, Vanderpump Beverly Hills wines, and LVP Sangria, cementing her status as a powerhouse in both business and entertainment.
