'Beverly Hills, 90210' stars then and now
So what happened to the stars of Aaron Spelling's teen soap that aired through the entirety of the '90s? Look back at the original cast members' early days and see what they're up to now.
Jason Priestley in 1995
The actor who played Brandon Walsh was the anchor of the "90210" cast, both on screen and behind the scenes. The role made him a teen idol of the '90s and earned him two Golden Globe nominations.
Jason Priestley now
Priestley has done quite a bit of directing since leaving the show in 1998, including episodes of "The Secret Life of the American Teenager" and "7th Heaven." He also directed his former co-star Tori Spelling in an episode of The CW's 2008-2013 "90210" series. The married father of two, a native of Canada, most recently starred in four seasons of the Canadian TV series "Call Me Fitz."
Shannen Doherty in 1993
Doherty (second from left) played good-girl-gone-bad Brenda, Brandon's twin sister. She was written off the show in its fourth season, when Brenda moves to London to pursue acting.

Doherty went on to star in another successful Aaron Spelling show, "Charmed," from 1998 to 2001. Later, she appeared in several short-lived scripted and reality TV shows (including "Dancing With the Stars"), plus the first six episode's of The CW's "90210" series. She was convicted of drunk driving in 2001. In 2015, Doherty revealed she had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
Jennie Garth in 1991
Life was rough for Garth's character Kelly Taylor (second from left), who was raped, went to rehab, had a miscarriage and shot a man, over the course of 10 seasons -- not to mention her turmoil trying to choose between Dylan (Luke Perry) and Brandon (Jason Priestley).
Jennie Garth now
Garth reprised her role in both "Melrose Place" and, later, The CW's "90210" series. She went on to appear in several made-for-TV movies, and starred opposite Amanda Bynes in The WB series "What I Like About You." Garth had three daughters with actor Peter Facinelli, to whom she was married from 2001 until 2013. She reunited with former co-star Tori Spelling to star in the 2014 ABC Family series "Mystery Girls," which was canceled after one season. She married actor David Abrams in July 2015.

Perry, now a dad of two, has gone on to appear in several TV shows including "Jeremiah" and "Body of Proof," and a handful of episodes of Garth's show "What I Like About You," in which the two did a loose parody of their "90210" characters' relationship. He also starred in a 2001 Broadway revival of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
Tori Spelling in 1993
Spelling, whose father Aaron produced the show, played good girl Donna Martin.

That same year, he auditioned to replace Bob Barker as host of "The Price is Right," though the job went to Drew Carey.
