Tori Spelling

Tori Spelling

Birth Date: May 16, 1973
Birth Place: Los Angeles, Calif.

Through the '90s, Tori Spelling was known as TV's most famous virgin – which is what happens when your father, legendary TV producer Aaron Spelling, casts you in his hit show, Beverly Hills, 90210, and refuses to let you be deflowered on air for seven long years.

Though nepotism made her a star, Spelling's determination and self-deprecating wit endeared her to audiences on 10 seasons of 90210. She launched a prolific made-for-TV movie career, and produced and starred in the VH1 satirical sitcom, So NoTORIous. After her father's death in 2006, she weathered a well-publicized rift with her mother, Candy, but the birth of Spelling's son, Liam Aaron, with second husband Dean McDermott brought the estranged mother and daughter closer together.

In 2007, Spelling starred with McDermott in their Oxygen network reality show, Tori & Dean: Inn Love, which followed the couple as they ran their B&B in Fallbrook, Calif. Of motherhood, Spelling, who is expecting her second child with McDermott in 2008, says it "rocks".
