Born and raised in Los Angeles, willowy blonde California girl Whitney Port is best known as The Hills star Lauren Conrad’s friendly co-worker, first at Teen Vogue and later at a public relations firm called The People’s Revolution. While working as an intern, Whitney also attended the University of Southern California, where she was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and graduated in 2007 with a degree in gender studies. In the first season of The Hills, Whitney modeled a dress on Good Morning America and tripped and fell down a flight of stairs while on camera. You’ll want to dock in Whitney’s port whether there’s a storm or not.
