So keep reading below to get to know Audrina Patridge, Whitney Port, Spencer and Heidi Pratt, Mischa Barton, Justin “Bobby” Brescia, Stephanie Pratt, Brody Jenner, Jason Wahler, Frankie Delgado, and Brandon Thomas Lee.
AUDRINA PATRIDGE
- Audrina worked at Quixote Studios and Epic while filming The Hills.

- Audrina has had just about every hair color under the sun (except for red!): jet black, dark brown, highlights, beach blonde, and even violet! One thing that hasn’t changed though is her love of an off-center or super dramatic part.
SPENCER AND HEIDI PRATT
- During their tumultous time on The Hills, Heidi and Spencer became known as “Speidi” – seems like they started the ‘ship names’ trend before it was even really a thing!
- Heidi’s decision to date Spencer eventually caused the infamous rift between her and former BFF, Lauren Conrad. And no, Heidi and Lauren have not spoken and are not friends.

- Heidi underwent multiple plastic surgery procedures in late 2009, but then decided to have some reversed in 2016.
WHITNEY PORT
- Whitney joined the world of reality TV after being chosen as an intern for Teen Vogue magazine, which just happened to co-inside with former castmate Lauren Conrad’s internship. Whitney eventually went on to work for Kelly Cutrone at People’s Revolution.

STEPHANIE PRATT
- Stephanie joined The Hills in 2007, and even though she kept up appearances, she had a tough time during the 3 years she was on camera.
- Luckily, after The Hills ended, Stephanie made a new life for herself in England. There, she collaborated on fashion and accessory lines, made appearances on two different British reality shows, and wrote a memoir entitled “Made in Reality.”

JASON AND ASHLEY WAHLER

- Jason had a wild time after his brush with fame, but he has since gotten his life together. He cofounded Widespread Recovery, a facility for men to get help with issues in Orange County.
