In less than two decades, Kim Kardashian has gone from Paris Hilton’s stylist to reality superstar to billionaire businesswoman. The global brand she has built encompasses two popular reality television shows, a clothing line valued at $4 billion and 364 million Instagram followers.

Now the 43-year-old entrepreneur, who first became famous after a sex tape with singer Ray J surfaced in 2007, is trying to parlay her far-reaching fame into movie stardom.

It could be the most challenging role she has ever attempted. With only a few narrative TV shows and film cameos under her belt — besides starring in “American Horror Story: Delicate,” her last credited acting gig was as the voice of a fancy poodle in the 2023 animated feature “Paw Patrol: The Mighty Movie” — Kardashian would seemingly need a lot of help to transform herself into her idol, Elizabeth Taylor.
