BETHENNY FRANKEL
Before she became an iconic Real Housewife, feuding with
Ramona and inventing SkinnyGirl, Bethenny worked for
real housewives — high-profile ones. Bethenny toiled as a
hostess in a Beverly Hills restaurant where she met now-
RHOBH star Kyle Richards, who hired Bethenny to drive
her nieces — Paris and Nicky Hilton (seeing a theme with
stars’ first jobs?!) — to school. Bethenny then became the
Hiltons’ nanny and chef.
SHE^ WAS
A
NANNY?!
When Paris and Nicky
Hilton were sullen
teens, Bethenny was
their chauffeur!

JENNA DEWAN
Just dance! That might be Jenna’s
advice to aspiring young dancers, since
it worked out for her. The World of

Jackson as a child. After moving to
L.A., she auditioned for and was cast in
Janet’s “Doesn’t Really Matter” video

You. When she was offered the job,
Jenna “started screaming and jumping
up and down” — and ended up staying
with Janet’s team for two years. Before
she got her break in the 2006 film
Step Up, she also worked as a backup
dancer for Justin Timberlake, spark-
ing rumors of a romance that she’s
recently addressed (they did
