Victoria Davey "Tori" Spelling was born May 16, 1973 in Los Angeles, California to Carole Gene Candy Spelling and famous TV producer Aaron Spelling. She comes from a well known family - her brother Randy Spelling is also an actor. As an actress, Tori had guest roles on shows like "The Love Boat," "T.J. Hooker," "Hotel" and others before she landed her big role. She played Donna Martin on "Beverly Hills 90210" from 1990 to 2000, which was the full duration of the show. The show was co-produced by her father Aaron.

After the end of "90210," she worked on independent films like "Trick" and "The House of Yes." In more recent years, she has starred in reality shows like "So NoTORIous" and "Tori & Dean: Inn Love." "NoTORIous" was a VH1 sitcom that parodied Tori's public image. "Inn Love" follows the couple and their bed & breakfast aspirations. In fall 2008, Tori will again take up the role of Donna Martin on the new CW show "90210." The Rob Thomas ("Veronica Mars") directed teen drama will be following the continuity of the original "Beverly Hills, 90210." Tori will miss the first few episodes due to her pregnancy.

Tori had been married to Charlie Shanian since 2004 when she had an affair with Dean McDermott in Dec. 2005. The pair divorced in April 2006 and Tori married McDermott less than a month later. Tori's father Aaron died in June of that year, and Tori inherited $800,000. Tori gave birth to her first child, Liam Aaron McDermott, in March 2007 and her second, Stella Doreen McDermott, in June 2008.
