Harry Hamlin Reflects on His Iconic Career and Personal Life

LOS ANGELES, CA
Harry Hamlin, known for his remarkable roles in Hollywood, continues to captivate audiences. His breakout role as Perseus in the 1981 film ‘Clash of the Titans‘ set the stage for a vibrant career. Tonight, Hamlin will be back on television, premiering the second season of his cooking show, ‘Harry Loves Lisa,’ at 11 p.m. EST on AMC+ and IFC.
Hamlin’s romantic past is as storied as his acting career. His first high-profile relationship was with Swiss actress Ursula Andress, famous for her role as Honey Ryder in the first James Bond film, ‘Dr. No.’ The two met during the filming of ‘Clash of the Titans.’ Despite a significant age difference, their relationship led to the birth of their son, Dimitri, in 1980. However, the couple never married, parting ways by 1983.
After dating Andress, Hamlin married actress Laura Johnson in 1985. At that time, Johnson was a star of the popular soap opera ‘Days of Our Lives.’ Their marriage lasted four years, coinciding with Hamlin’s surge in popularity due to his role in ‘L.A. Law.’
In 1991, Hamlin wed actress Nicollette Sheridan, known for roles in ‘Knots Landing‘ and ‘Desperate Housewives.’ This marriage was short-lived, lasting only a year. Despite the brief union, it was significant for both parties at the time.
Hamlin met his current wife, Lisa Rinna, in 1992 when he was still married to Sheridan. Although nothing happened initially, the two felt an instant connection. After Hamlin’s divorce, they began dating and married in 1997. They welcomed two daughters, Delilah and Amelia, and often collaborate on various projects.
Harry and Lisa have not only built a life together but also shared success in the entertainment industry. They starred together on Broadway in ‘Chicago‘ and had their reality TV show, ‘Harry Loves Lisa,’ in 2010. Lisa Rinna also became a regular on ‘The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills,’ where Harry made guest appearances.
As they celebrate their years together, the couple continues to showcase their dynamic on Harry’s cooking show, airing weekly on the IFC Channel. Hamlin’s storied career and personal life highlight the charm and resilience that define him in Hollywood.
