26 Years After 'Beverly Hills, 90210': You Won’t Recognize the Stars Today

The cast of the series “Beverly Hills, 90210” made many fans’ hearts race. Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, and the rest of the cast became absolute teen heartthrobs. And what do they look like today?

"Beverly Hills, 90210" was the most popular teen series of the 1990s. The show aired from 1990 to 2000. A total of ten seasons, comprising 293 episodes, were produced during that time. Here, we’ll show you how the stars have changed since the show’s run.

Shannen Doherty was there from the very beginning, playing "Brenda Walsh." The series marked the actress's big breakthrough. But she couldn't handle the sudden fame.

Shannon left the series after the fourth season. Apparently, there were increasing arguments on set. After “Beverly Hills, 90210,” she appeared in many TV movies and series. Among other roles, she also played a leading role in the series “Charmed.” In 2015, the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer. She initially beat the disease, but in early 2020, it returned—at stage 4. In 2019, she appeared in the reboot of “Beverly Hills, 90210”—“BH9210.” However, that show has since been canceled. She was last seen in “Born to Kill” in 2024. On July 13, 2024, Doherty died of complications from her cancer at the age of 53.

Jason Priestley played "Brandon Walsh," the twin brother of "Brenda." Priestley appeared on the show for nearly ten years. He left the show in the ninth season.

After the classic series ended, Jason focused on his work as a director and producer and even directed the spin-off of “Beverly Hills, 90210.” Jason also appeared in the TV show “Call Me Fitz” and landed small guest roles on “Chaos City” and the TV show “Medium.” From 2016 to 2021, he played the lead role in the series “Private Eyes.” Most recently, he appeared in the series “Wilde Cards” in 2024.

Jennie Garth played "Kelly" and appeared in "Beverly Hills, 90210" from the first episode to the last. Tori Spelling played "Donna" and was also part of the cast from the very beginning. Tiffani Thiessen played the scheming "Valerie Malone."

After the show ended, Jennie Garth never quite achieved a major career. She appeared in various TV series, and in 2019 she also starred in the reboot “BH90210.” Most recently, she appeared in the 2022 film “Bad Influence.” And what about her fellow actress Tiffani Thiessen?

Tiffani Thiessen then appeared in the hit U.S. series “White Collar” from 2009 to 2014. From 2018 to 2020, she starred in the series “Alexa & Katie.” Between 2020 and 2021, she also appeared in several episodes of the series “Saved by the Bell.”

Tori Spelling was also on the show from the first episode to the last. The actress is the daughter of Aaron Spelling, who produced the series. After her role on “Beverly Hills,” Tori Spelling made headlines mainly for her personal life, with the focus on her marital problems with Dean McDermott. Her most recent film appearance was in “Rapscallion Romance” in 2023. She also starred in the reboot “BH90210.”
