Donna Martin Silver is a fictional character from the Beverly Hills,
90210 franchise, portrayed by Tori Spelling from 1990 to 2000. Donna
reprised her role in 90210 for a multi-episode arc in 2009.When Tori
Spelling auditioned for the role, she auditioned with a different last
name, to avoid nepotism since her father was the series producer.Donna
was introduced in the first season as Kelly Taylor's best friend. For
the early part of the first season, the Donna character was a
supporting role, but gradually became a main character with her own
storylines. Donna grew up in a very wealthy Beverly Hills household,
the only child of Dr. John Martin, a successful physician and her
mother Felice Martin, a socialite. Donna grew up as a strict Catholic,
and her mother's strict rules on morality would be a running storyline
for much of the show. Because of this, Donna by choice remained a
virgin for much of the show's run, until she was well into college.In
high school, Donna discovered she had dyslexia and struggled at exams.
She also almost failed to graduate after she was caught drinking
alcohol at the senior prom. This led to a student demonstration to
support her, and the slogan of her classmates "Donna Martin
graduates!" would go on to become a pop culture catchphrase. Donna Martin Biography, NetWorth, Height, Age, Weight, Family, Married, Son, Daughter
