Spelling starred in the romantic comedy "Kiss the Bride," released in the spring of 2008. In the film, she played a woman marrying a man whose best friend decides to convince the groom that he is really gay, based on an intimate "moment" the two men shared in high school. Though the film got a thumbs-down from critics, Spelling says she wanted to please the gay community. "I'm a huge fan of gays," Spelling told Reuters. "They love me; I love them. They consider me kind of a gay icon, which they've labeled me as."

McDermott's affair with Spelling began while he was still married to Mary Jo Eustice. After their divorce, Eustice wrote about her ex-husband's affair as part of an anthology, "The Other Woman." Spelling and McDermott married on a private island in Fiji, sans guests, in 2006.

In "A Friend to Die For" (1994). Spelling played a popular high school cheerleader who is murdered after rejecting the friendship of her jealous classmate, played by Kellie Martin.

By 1992, "Beverly HIlls, 90210" was a hit and Spelling was a bona fide star. "I think I've finally stopped being Aaron Spelling's daughter," she told People magazine. Later that year she co-hosted New Year's Rockin' Eve - - an American staple for ringing in the New Year - - with Dick Clark and Mark Curry.

In the role that put her on the map, Spelling played innocent, virginal Donna Martin in the original "Beverly HIlls, 90210" from 1990 to 2000. Brian Austin Green played Donna's love interest, David Silver. And 18 years after the show first aired, Spelling reprises her role as Donna in the show's spinoff, "90210."

She was born Victoia Davey Spelling, but we know her as Tori. On screen, she's the actress who played a pious bleached blonde from the most famous zip code in America, and in real life, she's the daughter of TV mogul Aaron Spelling. Her father made a fortune of almost $300 million from producing hit shows "Charlie's Angels," "Dynasty," and the show his daughter would later star in, "Beverly Hills, 90210." He gave Tori, who had shown interest in acting at a young age, bit parts on several of his shows, including "Vega$," "T.J.Hooker," and "The Love Boat."
