“Beverly Hills 90210” 32 years later: how the heroes of the cult series of the 90s have changed

_________________________________

Jennie Garth (Kelly Taylor)

The spoiled Kelly was originally supposed to be a cameo character, but thanks to the love of the fans and the talent of Garth, she became the central character. Jenny took part in all 10 seasons of the series. After the success of Beverly Hills 90210, she starred in the TV series Why I Love You. In 2008, Garth appeared in a remake of the TV series Beverly Hills 90210, and in 2014, along with Tori Spelling, she played in the comedy Mystery Girls.

Shannen Doherty (Brenda Walsh)

The role of Brenda Walsh made Shannen a star. However, due to her complex nature, the actress only lasted four seasons on the show. Initially, her character was supposed to leave for the Royal Academy for a year, but the producers changed their minds about returning Brenda. Approximately the same fate befell her heroine Prue Halliwell in “Charmed”: after the conflict with Alice Milano, the producers made a choice not in favor of Shannen. However, in “Beverly Hills” she nevertheless returned, but already in the continuation of the series in an episodic role.

In 2015, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The actress filed a lawsuit against her former manager, Tanner Mainstein, who mishandled her health insurance, which, in her opinion, did not receive proper treatment and her cancer metastasized to the lymphatic system. In early February 2020, Doherty said that the disease had returned and now she was in the 4th stage.

Jason Priestley (Brandon Walsh)

The main intrigue of the series was the question: who will Kelly choose – Brandon or Dylan? Jason was the main character of “Beverly Hills” for the first 8 seasons, and then took the place of one of the producers of the project. Jason has several successful works on his account, and now he continues to actively act in films, and also often acts as a producer and director.

Another passion in Priestley’s life is car racing. In 2002, he was seriously injured while driving in Kentucky – then his car crashed into a wall at a speed of almost 180 miles / hour. He later became part owner of the FAZZT racing team. After the DDT, Jason was supported by make-up artist Naomi Lowde. They got married in 2005 and now have a son and a daughter.

Luke Perry (Dylan McKay)

The role of the main bad boy of the series was a lucky ticket for Luke. After Beverly Hills, Perry had many successful projects, including The Fifth Element, Invasion, Riverdale. Luke’s latest work was Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood with Leonardo DiCaprio and Brad Pitt. Luke passed away in 2019 at the age of 52. The cause of the star’s death is the consequences of a stroke. The actor has two children from his marriage to actress Minnie Sharp.

Tori Spelling (Donna Martin)

Tory’s appearance on the Beverly Hills site was only a matter of time. Her father, Aaron Spelling, is a series producer and one of America’s most respected producers in the 90s. According to Tori, she came to the casting under a different surname, although at that time she was already quite famous thanks to her father and managed to star in several projects. After filming in Beverly Hills ended, Tori continued to work actively, but more often appeared in the press in connection with her unsuccessful plastic surgery. At the age of 16, she made an unsuccessful rhinoplasty, then enlarged her breasts, lips and often resorted to beauty injections. However, this did not prevent her from finding her love, although it was not easy.

In 2005, while working on the film “Reflections on Murder”, the actress fell in love with her partner on the set – Dean McDermott. At that time, they were both in an official relationship, so in order to be together, they had to go through a high-profile divorce. Tori’s father was against his daughter’s new relationship and stopped communicating with her. Just before his death, Aaron was able to forgive and reconcile with his daughter. However, Tori’s mother blamed her for her father’s death and stripped her of her inheritance. The actress fought for her happiness not in vain: she is still married to Dean and has five children. Tori has retired from films but writes books, and quite successfully: her first book, sTORI Telling, released in 2008, became a New York Times bestseller.
