JENNY GARTH
AS KELLY TAYLOR

Jennifer Eve Garth was born on April 3rd, 1972 in Urbana, Illionis, USA to John and Carolyn Garth, who both had 3 children each from different marriages, before they had Jennie. She grew up on a 25-acre horse ranch outside Urbana, Illinois with her 6 older siblings: Johnny, Chuck, Lisa, Cammie, Wendy and Lynn. When Jennie was 13, she and her family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. She took dancing lessons and did a little modeling while living in Arizona, and she dreamed of going to college and later start her own dance studio. At age 15, Jennie was discovered and encouraged to pursue an acting career by a talent scout, who had seen her win a talent competition. Therefore, she dropped out of high school during her junior year, and she and her mom moved to Los Angeles, California so she could become an actress. She later obtained her diploma in California. There, she started taking acting classes and went to auditions almost every day. After living in LA about four months, she landed the role of 'Erica McCray' on the NBC series "A Brand New Life" (1989). Within a year, she was cast as 'Kelly Taylor' on the long-running hit teen drama-series "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) on FOX television. Ever since, she has starred in several movies made for TV, a number of which she has produced and directed herself. On January 20th, 2001, she married actor Peter Facinelli, the father of her first daughter, Luca Bella (born June 29th, 1997), on her ranch in Santa Barbara, California. On December 6th, 2002, Jennie and Peter welcomed their second daughter, Lola Ray and their third daughter Fiona Eve on September 30th, 2006. Jennie most recently starred in the WB network sitcom "What I Like About You" (2002)as 'Valerie Tyler' until its cancellation in 2006.

Jennie Opens Up About Her 90210 Reunion with Shannen
August 19, 2008


Jennie Garth and Shannen Doherty may be walking the halls of West Beverly High together (watch the new promo) but the actresses’ reunion as they taped scenes for the new 90210 wasn’t exactly warm – at first.

“It wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be,” Garth tells TV Guide in a new interview. “I was a little nervous because I hadn’t seen or talked to her in 14 years. Everyone was making it out to be such a big deal that I think we both fell prey to having that affect us.”

Continues Garth: “I’m not much of a small talker, and I don’t think she is either.”

While they seem to have put their differences aside – the duo once had a fistfight on the original 90210 set, according to Tori Spelling’s memoir sTORI Telling– the two may not see eye to eye about one thing: Spelling’s future on the CW show. (Spelling will not be reprising her role as Donna Martin on the show, according to both Spelling’s rep and a spokesperson for the CW.)

“I know Shannen probably doesn’t share the feelings that I have for Tori, but I love Tori like my sister,” Garth says in the interview, revealing that she is starting a “Bring Back Donna Martin” campaign and is disappointed that Spelling is not part of the new show.

But Garth is optimistic that she and Doherty will continue to work together smoothly and professionally.

“We’re both grown women, both professionals,” she said. “Once we were working, it felt like a good fit.” – Brian Orloff
