Who is Victoria Davey "Tori" Spelling? The world knows her as Tori Spelling. She is an American actress. She is best known for her role as Donna Martin in the 1990s teen soap opera Beverly Hills, 90210. Her book Stori Telling debuted on the New York Times Best Seller list.[1]Spelling was born May 16, 1973 in Los Angeles, California, she's the daughter of
Candy Spelling (née Marer) and famed TV producer Aaron Spelling.[2] Both of Spelling's parents were Jewish,[3] though her family celebrated both Christmas and Hanukkah while she was growing up.[4] She attended Beverly Hills High School in Beverly Hills, California but graduated from Harvard-Westlake School. Her brother, Randy Spelling, is also an actor.Spelling had guest starred on such shows as The Love Boat, T.J. Hooker, Hotel, Fantasy Island, Vega$, and Saved by the Bell (1990) before landing the role of Donna in Beverly Hills 90210, a series co-produced by her father, A
aron Spelling and Spelling Television. Spelling would play the role of Donna for the entire series run from 1990 to 2000.In the 1990s, while starring on 90210, Spelling became well-known for starring in a string of made-for-television films, such as Co-Ed Call Girl, A Friend to Die For and Mother, May I Sleep with Danger?.
After Beverly Hills 90210 ended, Spelling starred in several independent films including Trick and The House of Yes. She appeared in the film Scream 2 where she played Sidney Prescott in Stab, the film within a film about the events of the first Scream. Spelling's casting was an inside joke of sorts because the real character Sidney Prescott had complained in the first Scream film that "I'd like to be played by Meg Ryan but with my luck they'd get Tori Spelling". Spelling also appeared in the film Scary Movie 2 and on the TV show Smallville.
More recently, Spelling has been the star of two reality-based shows. In 2006, she starred as herself in the VH1 sitcom So NoTORIous, which parodied her public image. In January 2007, she and her second husband, the actor Dean McDermott, decided to buy and operate a bed & breakfast in Fallbrook, California. This became the basis of a new reality show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, which premiered on the Oxygen network on March 20, 2007.[5] In June 2008, the show returned for a third season under the new name Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. In the new season, Spelling and McDermott no longer run the inn, and they have returned to Los Angeles where they struggle to balance buying a new home, her pregnancy, and her book tour.It was announced in May 2008 that Spelling would reprise her role as Donna Martin on the new CW show 90210 (TV series). She will appear in two episodes (18 and 19) as a special guest star.
Aside from her acting career, Spelling designs and markets her own line of fashion jewelry on HSN. She released an autobiography entitled sTori Telling in 2008. She is currently writing a second book, on motherhood.
On July 3, 2004, Spelling married
Charlie Shanian. They separated in December 2005, after Spelling fell in love with D
ean McDermott, and were legally divorced on April 20, 2006. Spelling married McDermott less than a month later, on May 7, 2006, in a private, barefoot ceremony in Wakaya, Fiji. The two met when they co-starred in the TV movie Mind Over Murder. McDermott was married at the time to 
Mary Jo Eustace, whom he divorced to marry Tori Spelling. Eustace has since written about the experience as part of the anthology The Other Woman[6] McDermott and Eustace have one child together : Jack Montgomery (b. October 10, 1998.) Due to Dean's infidelity, he removed himself from finalizing an adoption for a baby girl that would have been his and Eustace's second child.
During an appearance at the 2006 MuchMusic Video Awards in Toronto on June 18th, Spelling was asked if she found it better dating a Canadian. Spelling replied "...they are much nicer, and don't have nasty ex-wives who write tell-all books".
After her father's death on June 23, 2006, Spelling was anticipated to inherit a sizable portion of her father's $500 million estate. The estate was to be divided primarily between Spelling, her brother Randy and her mother Candy. Spelling's mother was the estate executor. At the time, Spelling and her mother were estranged and it was reported that Spelling inherited just $800,000.[7] Her brother, who was not estranged from his mother, also received $800,000.[7]
Spelling gave birth to her first child, Liam Aaron McDermott ("Aaron" after her late father) on Tuesday, March 13, 2007 at Cedars-Sinai Hospital via emergency caesarean section. Reportedly, her mother was in the delivery room when Spelling gave birth. It has been reported that Candy Spelling has established a $10 million trust fund for her first grandchild.[8] On Monday, June 9, 2008 Tori and her husband welcomed their second child together, a daughter named Stella Doreen McDermott ("Doreen" after Dean's late mother) by caesarean section.[9]
