Yes, Kelly Killoren Bensimon Is an Actress: All About Her First Acting Role
When Kelly and the other Housewives went surfing on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip it brought back memories of her first movie role.
Although Kelly Killoren Bensimon is currently thriving with her luxury real estate career, the former model has had many other endeavors over the years, including three seasons on The Real Housewives of New York City, as well as work as a journalist, author, designer and — we most recently learned on The Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip: RHONY Legacy — actress.
“Last time I went surfing is when I was filming the movie Innocence,” Kelly revealed on Episode 5 of RHONY Legacy as she and the other ‘Wives went for a surfing lesson in St. Barts. “It was this horror film that I did. It was very traumatic — I’m not gonna lie.”
What movies have Kelly Killoren Bensimon been in?
Innocence was Kelly’s first big screen role, according to IMDB, in 2013. The horror movie centers around “a young woman [who] discovers that her elite Manhattan preparatory school harbors a dark secret,” the website said.
Kelly actually makes a brief appearance in the trailer for the movie. She, as Lena Warner, and her daughter, Beckett Warner (played by Sophie Lane Curtis), are seen running into the ocean.
“In the movie, I’m a writer who surfs,” Kelly said on RHONY Legacy. “My daughter and I went surfing, and then I died. I got lost in the sea. That was it. And they just found the surfboard.”
In the trailer, empty ocean is shown, as Beckett on a surfboard calls, “Mom!” It's similar to the RHONY Legacy reenactment portrayed in Episode 5.
Beckett attends the new prep school after her mother’s tragic death and discovers mysterious student suicides and a disturbing past at the school.
Although this was Kelly’s first movie role, it wasn’t her last. She played an ad executive in 2015’s Supermodel, about a young girl who becomes a famous model. She also played an actress in 2016’s romantic comedy Good Bones, which was a winner at the Garden State Film Festival, according to IMDB. Kelly appeared in the trailer, appearing at a photo shoot to model a bottle of wine.

Kelly also added to her acting resume when she played Morgan Feathers on one episode of the television comedy Hunting Season in 2015.
Since then, Kelly has pivoted to real estate. She first got her license in 2019, before joining the Douglas Elliman firm, and starting her own team there in 2022. She sold over $100 million in luxury properties in 2021, and in 2022, Kelly received the Ellie Award for Rookie of the Year from Douglas Elliman for excellence in the field, according to her LinkedIn.
