Marisa Zanuck Joins The Cast Of 'RHOBH' As 'Friend of the Housewives'

Gather.com:

Marisa Zanuck is one of two new additions to Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for the franchises third season and while Marisa may be new to this group, she is not new to reality TV all together.

The 38-year-old realtor first appeared on Selling L.A. and on top of having a connection to reality TV, she also has a connection to the cast. For the last 14 years, she's worked for Hilton & Hyland which Mauricio Umansky was a part of before he left to start his own company.

Since she knows Mauricio, she will likely have no problem connection with Kyle Richards and her crowd -- or will she? In the sneak preview, Kyle is seen yelling at someone telling them to get their hands off her husband, but as of now, no one knows who it was.

In addition to her day job, Marisa is a mommy of two and the wife of Dean Zanuck, a Hollywood producer. Dean has worked on such films as Road to Perdition and Get Low.

She has established herself in Beverly Hills and now she will establish herself on a successful show. Though Marisa's role is 'friend of the housewives,' she will be seen on plenty of the new episodes and she's in good company. Camille Grammer is also a 'friend of the housewives.'

Last season's 'friend of the housewives' was Brandi Glanville and this year, she was upgraded to an official housewife, so who knows where this role will lead Marisa.

Marisa Zanuck will make her Real Housewives of Beverly Hills debut on November 5. Tune in to see how she fits in with the rest of the cast.
