Beverly Hills, cult series of the 90s

Among many teenage drama offered by American television, Beverly Hills, 90210 marked the minds of an entire generation. Transmission between 1990 and 2000 on Fox, before arriving shortly after on TF1 (between 1993 and 2001), the series chronicled the life of high school students in an upscale Los Angeles neighborhood. If the audience is passionate about the love stories of Brandon and Brenda as soon as they arrive at their new high school, the show has also addressed darker issues in a more or less direct way.

More, Beverly Hills it will have been a program to discover a myriad of talents. It is indeed in this series that several actors have revealed themselves or confirmed their rise. There we find especially Shannen Doherty (Before Charmed), Luca PerriJennie Garth, Jason Priestley, Tori Spelling, Brian Austin Green and Ian Ziering. The latter two had also played their part in Domino (2005) by Tony Scott, not without a certain self-irony towards his past in Beverly Hills.

In Beverly Hills, Tori Spelling had one of the main roles. She actually she was playing Donna Martinoa young girl presented as shallow at the start of the series and above innocent in every way. Indeed, although she falls for David (Brian Austin Green), she will stay virgin for several seasons. A choice that would not come so much from the writers, but rather from father of the actress, Aaron Spelling!

I vividly remember when (Aaron) told me, you know, Donna should be a virgin. And I said to myself: “Yes, absolutely, it has to be”.

A way for Tori Spelling’s father keep his daughter’s image chaste (he was 17 at the beginning of the series), but also for the authors of “differentiate” her character over the others. The actress later responded in the podcast she had he always suspected his father be the origin of this element. However, after several years, Aaron Spelling has finally agreed Woman can have sex. He was obviously with David, during season 7.
