Early Life
Whitney Port was born Whitney Eve Port on March 4, 1985, in Los Angeles, California. She is the daughter of Jeffrey and Vicki Port.

Career
It was in 2006 that Whitney started her career on the hit MTV reality show "The Hills," which chronicled the personal and professional lives of Port and her friends Lauren Conrad, Heidi Montag, and Audrina Patridge. "The Hills" was a spin-off of "Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County." By the fourth season of the show, Whitney was already an audience favorite. Throughout the production of "The Hills," she also held positions with "Teen Vogue" and Kelly Cutrone's PR firm People's Revolution. During the third season of "The Hills," Whitney was promoted to the position of West Coast fashion contributor for "Teen Vogue," a position she left in 2008.
