LISA VANDERPUMP<br />
<strong>LIVE</strong> Magazine: What television shows were you in as a child actress<br />
and do you think that this experience helped you be down to earth<br />
because you have been around the tv lifestyle since childhood?<br />
Lisa Vanderpump: At 9 years of age my parents enrolled me at the<br />
Corona Stage Academy in London. By the age of 12 I was booking<br />
commercials, making my own money and earned my Equity Card.<br />
I made my film debut in the 1973 dramedy A Touch of Class, playing<br />
the daughter of Glenda Jackson. I worked more than nearly anyone at<br />
that time because I was reliable and showed up on time.<br />
<strong>LIVE</strong> Magazine: One of the things I find very interesting about you<br />
is your passion for design. How many of your restaurants have you<br />

to my heart. The organization raises awareness and funds in support<br />
of bringing awareness to various neurological disorders, including ALS,<br />
Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease.<br />
<strong>LIVE</strong> Magazine: We have all grown to love Giggy, Lollipop, Pikachu<br />
and Buki. How are their personalities different? - Only answered for<br />
Giggy and Rumpy Pumpy.<br />
Lisa Vanderpump: Every one of my dogs has a different personality.<br />
Rumpy Pumpy is a very naughty bear of a dog. He is outside most of<br />
the day with our gardener running and playing and trying to exhaust<br />
him to no avail.<br />
Giggy on the other hand doesn’t want to be treated as a dog. He<br />
doesn’t want to be like the other dogs. I’ve had a lot of dogs; he’s a
