Lisa Deanna Rinna (born July 11, 1963 in Medford, Oregon) is an Italian-American actress.

She is not to be confused with actress Julie Pinson, with whom she shares an uncanny resemblance.

Rinna is married to actor Harry Hamlin.

From daytime bombshell to primetime vixen, Lisa Rinna is no stranger to television. She received national recognition while starring on NBC's Days of our Lives, as the beautiful yet deplorable Billie Reed. She soon segued into the primetime spotlight when she portrayed Taylor McBride on Aaron Spelling's international hit show Melrose Place, on which she starred for two seasons. In 2002, Rinna was named co-host of Soap Talk, the daily lifesytle show that airs daily on SOAPnet, for which she received a Daytime Emmy Award-nomination. In addition, she reprised the role of Billie Reed on Days of our Lives for a brief stint in 2002 and is now hosting the series Merge on Lifetime. Rinna starred in the Lifetime movie Sex, Lies & Obsession opposite husband Harry Hamlin. Her previous Lifetime movie, "Another Woman's Husband," boasted one of the highest ratings for a movie on Lifetime since 1999. She also guest-starred on an episode of "Movie Stars" for the WB, the first ever on-screen appearance she shared opposite her husband. Rinna nabbed her first role in the feature film Good Advice, starring Charlie Sheen and Jon Lovitz.

Rinna played Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives from 1992 to 1995, and Taylor McBride on Melrose Place from 1996 to 1998. Rinna began as co-host of the SOAPnet television talk show Soap Talk beginning in 2002. Rinna also returned to Days of Our Lives as Billie for a few months in 2002.

Lisa and her husband had a recurring role as a married couple on the first season of the television series Veronica Mars. Rinna's character, Lynn Echolls, committed suicide by jumping from a bridge. At first her death is speculated as having been faked, a concept believed by her son, Logan Echolls. The following episode, Rinna's character is seen falling from the bridge in footage from an indy film being shot by some freshmen at Neptune High. However, her body is never found.

In 1998, Rinna created a stir when she appeared nude and very obviously six months pregnant in the September issue of Playboy magazine.

Lisa was approached by Dancing With The Stars and will be part of Season 2.
