Defense attorney Robert Kardashian and wife, Kris Houghton, welcome their second child, Kimberly Noel, to their posh L.A. lifestyle. The growing brood already includes one-year-old Kourtney and will add Khloe in 1984 and Robert Jr. in 1987. By pre-school, Kim is palling around with Paris Hilton, and by 1994, her father is in the media spotlight when he houses and later defends O.J. Simpson (right) following the murders of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald GoldmanAfter her parent's divorce – her mother remarries Olympian Bruce Jenner (left) in 1991 – Kardashian hits puberty and is ashamed of her growing body. "I used to say my prayers before bed and pray I would stop developing," she tells Playboy. With time, though, Kardashian grows confidence, even defending the authenticity of her curves: "I always laugh when it says on the Internet that I have fake boobs or butt implants or injected lips, because it's so not true."
