Rinna has starred in two projects opposite husband Harry Hamlin, the teen crime-drama Veronica Mars, and the Lifetime movie Sex, Lies & Obsession.

Rinna nabbed her first role in the feature film Good Advice, starring Charlie Sheen and Jon Lovitz, and recently appeared in an episode of HBO's Entourage.

She posed again and was the cover model in May, 2009.[2][3] Rinna explains she received direct orders from Playboy photographer Deborah Anderson, who also shot Rinna for the Room 23 book. "She said, 'I do not want you long and sinewy and angular and muscular. I want you soft,' " says Rinna. "This was really hard for me because being 45 years old and posing for Playboy, you want to amp it up," Rinna told People at Tuesday's Room 23 book launch hosted by Sanela Diana Jenkins and Neuro Brands.[4]
Stage
Rinna recently starred in the Broadway production of "Chicago", playing the role of Roxie Hart, alongside her husband, who played the role of Billy Flynn. [5]
