She was television's most famous virgin -- and, as Aaron Spelling's daughter, arguably its most famous case of nepotism. Portraying Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling became one of the most recognizable young actresses of her generation, with a not-so-private personal life every bit as fascinating as her character's exploits. Yet years later the name Tori Spelling too often closed -- and sometimes slammed -- the same doors it had opened.
sTORI telling is Tori's chance to finally tell her side of the tabloid-worthy life she's led, and she talks about it all: her decadent childhood birthday parties, her nose job, her fairy-tale wedding to the wrong man, her so-called feud with her mother. Tori has already revealed her flair for brilliant, self-effacing satire on her VH1 show So NoTORIous and Oxygen's Tori & Dean: Inn Love, but her memoir goes deeper, into the real life behind the rumors: her complicated relationship with her parents; her struggles as an actress after 90210; her accident-prone love life; and, ultimately, her quest to define herself on her own terms.
From her over-the-top first wedding to finding new love to her much-publicized -- and misunderstood -- "disinheritance," sTORI telling is a juicy, eye-opening, enthralling look at what it really means to be Tori Spelling.
I loved this book! I was a huge 90210 fan, not necessarily a Tori Spelling fan though. Last Summer I started watching her show on Oxygen and I fell in love with her and Dean and their family. They are adorabley funny and have such a great family. I literally read this book in one evening it was that good I couldn't put it down it was just really interesting to read about her life and what it was like growing up Tori Spelling.
I always loved Tori. There was something about her that attracted me to her work. I wasn't too sure if i'd enjoy this book or not. I finished it in 3 days, I couldn't put it down. It was like all of the fiction books I read in high school, only its a work of non-fiction. The only turn-off is how she spoke of her relationship with her first husband. I felt incredibly sad for him. She made it seem like him caring about her was a bad thing. I also can't find much truth in how she explained how she felt at her wedding to Charlie. I don't know, it just seemed too horrible to be real, either way, nice and juicy! Can't wait for her next book!
