Victoria Davey Spelling, professionally known as Tori Spelling, was born on May 16, 1973, in Los Angeles, California. She is an American actress, television personality, and author. She is the daughter of Aaron Spelling, a prolific television and film producer, and Candy Spelling, an author and television personality. She has one younger brother, Randy Spelling, who also briefly pursued acting.
Tori Spelling rose to prominence in 1990 with her role as Donna Martin on the popular teen drama series Beverly Hills, 90210, which was produced by her father. This role marked her first major breakthrough in television. In addition to her long-running role on the series, she appeared in several made-for-TV movies such as Mother, May I Sleep with Danger? and A Friend to Die For. She also acted in independent and mainstream films, including Scary Movie 2 and Kiss the Bride.
Spelling married playwright Charlie Shanian in 2004. The couple reportedly held a lavish wedding that cost approximately $1 million. However, the marriage ended in divorce in 2006. Shortly after the divorce, she married Canadian actor Dean McDermott in May 2006 in a private ceremony in Fiji. Spelling and McDermott have four children together: Liam Aaron (born 2007), Stella Doreen (2008), Hattie Margaret (2011), and Finn Davey (2012). The couple renewed their vows in 2010.
Following the death of her father Aaron Spelling in 2006, it was widely reported that Tori and her brother Randy each inherited a relatively small portion of his estimated $500 million estate, with most of it being managed by their mother, Candy Spelling. Reports of familial tensions surfaced, particularly between Tori and her mother, although both have addressed their strained relationship publicly over the years.
Tori Spelling is also known for her work as an author. Her first book, Stori Telling, was a bestseller and received positive attention for its candid look into her personal and professional life. She has written several other books, primarily autobiographical, detailing topics such as her family life, financial challenges, and experiences with motherhood. One of her notable follow-ups, Spelling It Like It Is, expanded on her struggles with finances, pregnancies, and the pressures of living in the public eye.
Like many celebrities, Spelling's personal life has often attracted media attention. She has spoken openly about the highs and lows of her marriage and career, and her efforts to maintain a stable family life amid the pressures of fame. Despite the complexities of her personal journey, Tori Spelling has maintained a consistent presence in the entertainment industry.
