I wanted to be Ren Woods, but Kim was unavoidable. She was cute as a button with the same slightly rough, distinctive voice she has now. And she was in eveeerythiiiiing, from Nanny and the Professor to The Rockford Files. Check out her Wikipedia page. It was clearly expected that she would have the same career path as someone like Jodie Foster.

but in the early 90s, she retired from acting, only doing small roles from time to time. I was excited to see her reappear as the most famous of the Beverly Hills Housewives. Now I’m not so sure.

When she left acting she was "out of sight, out of mind" for me. I thought she probably married richer, had babies and lived the good life in the Hills of Beverly.
It seems Kim was a poor little rich girl. And although I think she looks great now, I know she could clearly look better. And I’m not talking about surgery. There’s always an anxiousness about her, a cat tail under a rocker-like nervousness. And her sister Kyle made sure we know she suffers from anxiety and has had her battles with alcoholism. But she’s in love now and I thought it was a good thing for her. But, like Kyle, now I’m worried.


The Examiner.com that Kim’s long time secret boyfriend, Ken Blumenfeld, has had an active account on Match.com for as long as they’ve been dating. Oh no. Even more devastating is that he’s been on it within the past three months. The article suggests he kept the profile to keep their romance secret by appearing to still be a single man. I think that’s a stretch.

Over at the Daily Mail, there’s Ken in a mug shot (but then he has the kind of face that looks like it belongs in a mug shot) for a DUI in 2009. The paper report lots of fighting at the couple’s new home, with Kim even leaving for a time to stay with friends.

I really, really, really, really don’t want Kim’s judgmental sister Kyle to be right. Please don’t let her be right.
