Eileen Davidson

It's the most elegant Housewife to ever live, folks. We are joined by Eileen Davidson this week. You Might Know Her From Days of Our Lives, The Young & the Restless, The House on Sorority Row, Easy Wheels, 7 Days to Vegas, and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Eileen gave us the real talk about grounding the work on daytime TV even when it was cuckoo-bananas (and fending off soap stalkers), jumping in a grave and acting opposite a wolf in some amazing genre films, and, of course, signing up for reality TV and how she wasn't interested in creating drama in exchange for camera time. All that plus, Damian and Anne continue to build out their Van Patten family tree as Eileen is married to Vincent Van Patten, cousin and nephew, respectively, to former guests Talia Balsam and Joyce Van Patten.  Follow us on social media: @damianbellino || @rodemanne  Anne is currently binging The Morning Show which is a wild ride  Billy Crudup playing his role like The Joker Musical number with Billy Crudup and Jennifer Aniston (she is 50+ so we like her now) Talia Balsam episode (cousin-in-law) and Joyce van Patten episode (aunt-in-law) Nancy Valen is Eileen's sister-in-law 7 Days to Vegas Willie Garson and Don Stark both in new Eileen project Caitlyn Jenner  friends with the van Pattens Soap opera royalty Santa Barbara, The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives  Kristen Dimera 1993-2017 played her doppelgänger(s) Susan, Sister Mary Moira, Penelope, and Thomas (aka played 5 roles on Days) Days writer who also wrote Passions (James Reilly) The House on Sorority Row (filmed at very first Tarantino Film Festival) also mentioned in Scream Easy Wheels (written by Sam and Ivan Raimi) co-starring Paul Lamat  A wolf played her mother Broken Badges also had her in leather on a motorcycle  Joined RHOBH in 2014 She was friends with Lisa Rinna from way back Didn't get involved in poker night pizza party Her mother in law, Pat van Patten is a numerologist  {Eileen is a 9 ("highly evolved")} Eileen thanked Pat in her Emmy speech Called "a beast" by Kim Richards; Lisa Van der Pump interrogated her about her marriage; drink thrown in face by Brandi Glanville  Starred opposite Armand Assante and Jon Voight in Eternity Dated Jon Voight (steps away from being Angelina Jolie's stepmother) Why does Jon Voight always wear a white scarf to award shows?
