Hough, sister of “DWTS” Emmy-winning partner Derek Hough, captured the mirror-ball twice, with Olympic skater Apolo Ohno and Indianapolis 500 racer Helio Castroneves. Since departing the show after Season 7, she’s moved on to a career as a recording artist and actress.
She’ll next star in the Diablo Cody film “Paradise,” alongside Russell Brand and Octavia Spencer.
