The Hills not only incited the current reality TV craze – it also almost jumpstarted Kim Kardashian’s career.

The 10-year-anniversary TV special The Hills: That Was Then, This Is Now revealed previously unreleased footage from the show. A familiar face appeared at a party at Heidi Montag’s house.

It was 25-year-old Kim Kardashian. The clip was filmed just a year before her sex tape with Ray J thrust her into celebrity stardom. The footage shows the then-unknown Kim mingling with the leading girls of the show, DailyMail reported.

Kim apparently knew some of the girls. “Hi Frankie, hi Olivia. How are you?” she said.

Heidi continued to give Kim a tour of the house. Kim was curious about Heidi’s aquatic pets. “What is this?” She asked in front of an aquarium.

“These are our jellyfish. We’re the only people in America to have jellyfish,” Heidi replied.

Kim was impressed. “This is really cool. No way,” she said. Kim went on to talk to Brody Jenner about her plans to go to the VMA’s.

Even though Kim hung out with The Hills circle, she never made the final cut in the show. Now she’s the biggest celebrity TV star of all time – worth $51 million, according to Forbes.
