Tori Spelling

Victoria Davey Spelling (born May 16, 1973) is an actress best known for her role as Donna Martin in the 1990s teen soap opera Beverly Hills 90210.

The daughter of Aaron Spelling, a hugely successful television producer mainly for the ABC network, she appeared in a number of small roles before landing a regular part in 90210, a series co-produced by her father and Darren Star.

She claimed to have undergone an audition for the role under an assumed name. After the series went off the air, Spelling worked mostly in various independent films (often receiving praise for her performances) including Trick and The House of Yes.
