As you might recall, in a time before Lisa Vanderpump ruled over Vanderpump Rules, she had a career as an actress. And, we recently stumbled upon some throwback photos from that time in her life that prove she was always iconic — and always an animal lover.

How to Watch

Watch Vanderpump Rules on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on the Bravo app.  

The photos we are referencing are from a photo call for her role in the 1978 movie Killer's Moon. She was just a teenage girl at the time, and the pooch featured alongside her and fellow actress Georgina Kean is actually their doggy co-star, Hannah.

We can't help but notice how happy LVP looks to be hanging out with the pup as they promoted the film.

You can check out the photos from that era (just a few years before she met and married Ken Todd and the twosome went on to become a power couple and she a boss in her own right), below.

By the way, LVP's other roles include the short-lived children's TV series, Kids, as well as John Halifax, Gentleman, and Katy. She even continued acting in the '80s, including a stint as a music video vixen in ABC's "Poison Arrow" music video. Her IMDB credits continue to roll on right through the '90s, during which she made appearances on shows like Baywatch Nights and Silk Stalkings.

These days, she's ruling over Vanderpump Rules. You can catch her every Tuesday at 9/8c.
