Early Life
Kris was born in San Diego, California to Mary Jo "M.J." Campbell & Robert True Houghton, who was an engineer. She has a sister named Karen.

Her parents divorced when Kris was 7 years old. She & Karen were solely raised by their mother until Mary Jo remarried to businessman, Harry Shannon.

Three months after moving to Oxnard, California, Harry's business partner ran off with all the company's money, so the family moved back to San Diego.

She attended Clairemont High School (where she graduated in 1973) & worked as an airline stewardess for a year in 1976.

Career
Kris runs her own production company Jenner Communications which is based in Los Angeles.

Since the start of "Keeping Up With The Kardashians," Kris has managed her daughter Kim's career. She also is involved with the business management of her other daughters and son.

On November 1, 2011, she released her autobiography "Kris Jenner... and All Things Kardashian."

In the summer of 2013, Kris hosted a pop culture-driven daytime talk show "Kris." The series began its six-week trial summer run on several Fox-owned stations on July 15, 2013, but it was not extended.
