Tori Spelling Biography
Tori Spelling’s fame comes from her family name as well as from her various TV acting roles. Her father, Aaron Spelling, was the TV superproducer behind hits like The Love Boat and Dynasty. He added Tori to the cast of his 1990s teen hit Beverly Hills 90210, where she played the shy-but-blossoming Donna Martin from 1990-2000. She became a tabloid favorite due to a heady combination of cosmetic surgeries, relationship troubles, fan attacks on her acting skills, and (after her father’s 2006 death) squabbles with her mother, Candy. Spelling’s films include The House of Yes (1997, with Parker Posey), Scream 2 (1997) and Kiss the Bride (2007). She married Dean McDermott in 2006. That same year they began co-starring in the cable TV “reality” series Tori and Dean: Inn Love (later Tori and Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood).
