An appealing blonde actress best known for her ten-season run as troubled rich girl Kelly Taylor on Aaron Spelling’s popular drama, “Beverly Hills, 90210″ (Fox, 1990-2000), Jennie Garth racked up credits in several made-for-TV-movies in addition to her star-making series role.
Born April 3, 1972 in Urbana, IL, the young beauty was discovered at age 15 by a talent scout who suggested she head to Los Angeles to pursue an acting career. Garth did just that – dropping out of high school in her junior year to move west. Not long after arriving, she landed a role in the short-lived TV series “Brand New Life” (NBC, 1989-1990). Although “Life” did little to launch her career, its demise was quickly followed by landing her most iconic role – that of Kelly Taylor on “Beverly Hills, 90210.”
