Lisa Deanna Rinna (born July 11, 1963 in Medford, Oregon) is an Italian-American actress.

Rinna played Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives from 1992 to 1995, and Taylor McBride on Melrose Place from 1996 to 1998. Rinna began as co-host of the SOAPnet television talk show Soap Talk beginning in 2002. Rinna also returned to Days of Our Lives as Billie for a few months in 2002.

She is not to be confused with actress Julie Pinson, with whom she shares an uncanny resemblance.

Rinna is married to actor Harry Hamlin. The couple currently have a recurring role as a married couple on the television series Veronica Mars. Rinna's character, Lynn Echolls, is thought to have committed suicide by jumping from a bridge, but it's been subtly left open as to whether this might be a mislead by comments made by her son's character, Logan.

In the following episode, what is presumed to be Rinna's character is seen falling from the bridge in some footage from an indy film being shot by some freshmen at Neptune High .
