In the 2018 Vice series Hollywood Love Story, which explored a group of young people trying to make it in the current climate of L.A., Paris Hilton acts as a kind of host or narrator for the show. She pops up in the middle of the stories to interject her own experience of achieving fame in the fickle culture of Hollywood. Of course, Paris had a leg up because she came from a rich and prominent family. However, there were a number of stepping stone opportunities that launched Paris into a household name and long-lasting brand.

When her children were growing up, Kathy Hilton raised Paris, Nicky, Barron, and Conrad in luxurious close quarters at the Waldorf Astoria hotel in NYC. They lived in the residential part, called The Towers. The Waldorf was available for them to live because Kathy’s husband’s grandfather Richard Hilton, had bought the Waldorf in the 1940s before he had even formed Hilton Hotels Corporation in 1946.
