While Priestley is best known as 90210’s hunky hero, he also stepped behind the camera as a director and executive producer of the show. Jason Priestley (Brandon Walsh)Įarly in his career, Canadian-American actor Jason Priestley made appearances in the ‘80s TV series Airwolf, 21 Jump Street and a flop sitcom Sister Kate before landing the lead role of Brandon Walsh on 90210. Not all the news has been bad, as she found love with celebrity photographer Kurt Iswarienko and gamely joined the old crew for the 2019 series. After years of publicity-worthy incidents like writing bad checks, jail time for drunk driving, nude appearances in Playboy, and the honor of being the first eliminated on season 10 of Dancing with the Stars, Doherty delivered the sobering diagnosis of breast cancer in 2015. Ironically, she teamed up with 90210 producer Aaron Spelling on another hit, Charmed, only to get booted off that show for more co-star conflicts, this time with Alyssa Milano. Her character, Brenda Walsh, may have been demure, but Doherty eventually got axed from 90210 in 1994 for her diva-ish antics. In 1988, she made a splash on the big screen with the cult teen classic Heathers, eventually bringing about her lead role on 90210.
