A Look Back at Lisa Rinna’s Early Years on ‘Days of Our Lives’

Rinna made one of her earliest red carpet debuts in the late ’80s accompanying then-boyfriend, soap actor Peter Barton.

One of the earliest scenes with Billie involves her trying to find a secret party by talking to a sketchy guy on a Salem pier. Oh, Billie. 

One of Rinna’s many memorable moments involved her, as Billie, getting super dramatic in the middle of a police station on DOOL. 

Just look at how serious and pensive Rinna could go when a good, soapy plot demanded it of her. 

Rinna attended the premiere of Made in America with her husband, actor Harry Hamlin, in 1995.

In one plotline, Billie’s love interest pulls her away from a party and she has to help him figure out a way to evade the cops. 

Look at how flawless and at-ease Rinna looked on the red carpet in 1994. Wunderbar!

Here’s Rinna as Billie, talking to her love interest, Bo; they would later become an iconic Days of Our Lives couple. 

Rinna won an award at the Soap Opera Digest Awards in 1995. Here, she’s pictured with DOOL co-star Robert Kelker-Kelly.

Rinna shared the love with her DOOL co-stars Patrick Muldoon and Ariana Chase, who played Austin and Carrie, respectively.
