Tori Spellingis a veteran in the limelight.
She had a few one-line roles as a teenager.
But Spelling’s breakthrough role was Donna in “Beverly Hills 90210” when she was just 16.
Given to her by none other than the show’s producer, her father.
After all, starring in a smash hit TV show is an actor’s dream.
“I used to hate my eyes.
When I started 90210 at 16 I was filled with low self confidence.
Then, internet trolls (yep we had them back then too!)
called me frog and bug eyed,” she revealed on a social media post (viaInstagram).
I would cry over my looks in the makeup trailer chair," she said onInstagram.
She finishes her same post by stating, “That said.
I love my eyes now.
They make me uniquely me.
And, I rarely wear sunglasses” (via Instagram).
“I grew up pretty fast being thrust into the limelight.
90210 taught me such a work ethic that I hope my kids all learn.
It also taught me that I was worth something,” she said (viaToday).
