‘90210’ star Tori Spelling learns her dad was responsible for her character remaining a virgin
foxnews.comTori Spelling finally knows exactly why her character on "Beverly Hills, 90210" stayed a virgin for all those years. Spelling played Donna Martin on the hit show and learned it was her late father, Aaron Spelling, who suggested she abstain from sex. "I remember very clearly when he said to me…Donna should be a virgin," "90210" producer and writer Charles Rosin revealed on the latest episode of Spelling's "9021OMG" podcast. "And it was like, ‘Yes, absolutely she should." Spelling admitted she "never knew" where the idea came from. "I always suspected, and people say, like, 'He kept his daughter a virgin.' But was it literally his idea?" she asked.
Rosin replied, "Oh absolutely!" He then explained to Spelling and her podcast co-host Jennie Garth, who played Kelly Taylor on the hit series, how the proposal was received by the other show writers. "We just went, 'Oh, yeah, that makes perfect sense!' Because we were able now to differentiate you." "What I loved about it…You would be dressed, you know, provocatively, stylishly…but it didn’t matter," Rosin explained, referencing Donna’s wardrobe. "Because certainly, if you were, for whatever reason, a virgin at that point, you could dress like that you just you know would blend in, but not actually be ‘doing the deed’ as it were." Spelling starred as Donna on "90210" for the show's entire 10-season run from 1990 to 2000.
However, her character was not a virgin for the entire series. Donna lost her virginity in season 7 on her last night of college to her long-time boyfriend David, played by Brian Austin Green.
