April 3rd, 2008 - Happy Birthday Jennie Garth!
By Allie | April 3, 2008
Jennifer Eve Garth (born April 3, 1972 in Urbana, Illinois) is an American actress.
She’s 36!
She’s best known for her roles of Kelly Taylor in Beverly Hills, 90210 and of Valerie Kelly Tyler in What I Like About You.
Jennie Garth was born in Illinois to John and Carolyn Garth, who each already had three children from different marriages. She grew up on a 25-acre horse ranch in Arcola, Illinois with her six older half-siblings: Johnny, Chuck, Lisa, Cammie, Wendy and Lynn. Jennie also lived in Tuscola, Illinois during her younger years. When Garth was 11, she and her family moved to Phoenix, Arizona. She took dancing lessons and did a little modeling while living there, at the time wanting to go to college and later start her own dance studio. At age 15, she was discovered and encouraged to pursue an acting career by a talent scout, who had seen her win a talent competition.
She dropped out of Greenway High School during her junior year, and she and her mother moved to Los Angeles so she could become an actress. She later obtained her diploma in California. There, she started taking acting classes and went to auditions almost every day. After living in L.A. about four months, she landed the role of ‘Erica McCray’ on the NBC series A Brand New Life (1989).
Garth appeared on Season 5 of Dancing with the Stars and was paired with Derek Hough. She was eliminated on the ninth week of competition finishing at a respectable fourth out of 12, after scoring her first perfect score of the competition with her Cha-Cha-Cha.
Personal Life:
On April 16, 1994, Garth married musician Daniel B. Clark. They separated in January 1996 and Garth filed for divorce in November 1 of that year.
On January 20, 2001, she married actor Peter Facinelli; they met in 1995 while filming the movie An Unfinished Affair. They have three daughters: Luca Bella (born on June 22, 1997), Lola Ray (born on December 6, 2002) and Fiona Eve (born on September 30, 2006).
She speaks Italian fluently, and is a vegetarian.
