‘90210’s’ Jennie Garth to publish a memoir in 2014
Actress Jennie Garth will publish a memoir in 2014. “Deep Thoughts from a Hollywood Blonde” is coming April 1 from the New American Library.
Garth is best known for her starring role in the original “Beverly Hills, 90210” as Kelly Taylor, the high school beauty at the center of the show’s love triangle. She returned as Taylor in “90210,” the 2008 reprisal of the show with a new generation of teens.
The publisher promises the book will go behind the scenes of 90210: “the actress opens up for the first time about the behind-the-scenes stories from 90210,” it writes, as well as “her relationships with other cast members.”
It also goes back further, to Garth being discovered as a teenager in Arizona and soon landing the plum “Beverly Hills, 90210” role, and her introduction to the life of red carpets and tabloids.
The memoir will continue to the present day. Garth is a working actress and was recently divorced from actor Peter Facinelli.
“The past few years have been full of changes,” Garth said in a statement. “Now I’m on my own with my three kids, and I just crossed that tricky invisible line into my forties. Maybe because of all these things or maybe despite them, I feel like another chapter in my life is just beginning. This book is my story about where I’ve been and where I’m headed—and what I’ve learned along the way.”
