She is Aaron Spelling's daughter( He made hit shows such as Charlie's Angels, Melrose Place, and Beverly Hills 90210). Tori was originally on Saved by the Bell as a guest star as Screech's( actor Dustin Diamond) girlfriend, Violet. Then she was cast as Donna in Beverly Hills 90210 and this is the show that made her really famous. I really have no idea why she has her own show, to me she isn't the best actress out there but she is famous for having a famous daddy and being a popular series(Beverly Hills 90210)

Biography
Early life
Spelling was born in Los Angeles, California, the daughter of Candy Marer (born Carole Gene Marer[1]) and the late Aaron Spelling, a famed television producer with the ABC network in the 1970s. Spelling comes from a liberal Jewish family, for example the family celebrated Christmas while growing up.[2] She is a graduate of Harvard-Westlake School. Her brother Randy Spelling is an actor as well.
Career
Spelling appeared in a number of guest roles (mostly in her father's shows) such as The Love Boat, T.J. Hooker, Hotel, Fantasy Island, Vega$, and Saved by the Bell before landing a regular part in Beverly Hills 90210, a series co-produced by her father and Darren Star. Often described as having a limited acting range, there was much speculation that she landed the 90210 role through her father's influence. Many detractors have emphasized the rumor by pointing out how much more attractive the other female cast members were by comparison (Tori has her father's very prominent eyes). She claimed to have undergone an audition for the role under an assumed name - Toria Mitchell.
Since 90210 went off the air, Spelling has worked primarily on independent films including Trick and The House of Yes, although she has appeared in small roles in mainstream films, including Scream 2 and Scary Movie 2.
Currently, Spelling is the star of the VH1 celebreality sitcom-based reality show called So NoTORIous.
After her father's death in 2006, she is set to inherit a proportion of her father's $500 million estate. The estate is to be divided primarily between her, her brother and her father's second wife. However, Candy Spelling is the executor, and recent reports have Tori inheriting just $800,000 [3]. Her brother also gets $800,000 but is not estranged from his mother. She was also excluded from a tribute at the 58th Primetime Emmy Awards, in 2006, to her father. Reports claim that Tori has been estranged from her mother for quite some time, and has used her show "So NoTORIous" to criticize her mother.

She's the daughter of Aaron Spelling, a producer of television shows. She was in 90210 or Melrose Place, whichever show it was that her dad produced. She also did a Scary Movie. She has her own TV show because she owns a production company. Her dad died a little while ago.

Her dad is a famous producer and she is known for her role in the old show "90210" which was a over-rated disaster about a bunch of spoiled rich kids living in California.
