There’s a perfectly good explanation why Gabrielle Carteris‘ character on Beverly Hills 90210 looked like she was 30 when she was a sophomore at West Beverly High.
It’s because she was 30!
Gabrielle celebrates her 48th birthday today, meaning that when 90210 first aired back in 1990, she was 30 years old pretty much playing half her age.
There were no 18-24 year old girls who could play Andrea Zuckerman in 1990?
I ain’t mad though. She was good enough!
Happy Birthday G!
