Tori Spelling in 90210. The series sucked arse, but shoe Horning in the directors daughter is just nepotism.

She supposedly came up with the idea for the show. And she auditioned for the part under a different name. Who knows if the casting directors knew who she was anyway.

And honestly I don’t think that show would have been as “good” without her. (Total cheese fest, but also a time capsule).

It’s hilarious if you watch it now, because they had to remove all the period music for syndication. They replaced it with some session musician music that still sounds period-accurate. Hats off to whomever wrote those tunes.

Spelling was the producer not the director

Pretty sure nepotism is mandatory for the entertainment industry.
