41-year-old Paris Hilton is the granddaughter of Conrad Hilton, the founder of Hilton hotels, and she recently married Carter Reum. She spends her free time deejaying events and modeling. While people may see Paris as a vapid, shallow pillar of Hollywood and reality TV, she has shown her vulnerable side lately in an attempt to raise awareness about the kind of abuse that goes on in youth facilities that claim to rehabilitate troubled teens. A couple of years ago, she made a documentary that showed the abuse she faced when she was sent to a boarding school in Utah.
