seductive, and tortured Kelly Taylorâ€"tapped into the very essence of
teenage angst and brought her a huge cult following." Actors Jason

Garth's work. In a 2009 article, Nellie Andreeva of The Hollywood
Reporter called the character of Kelly "organic to 90210's
setting."Throughout the course of the first series, Kelly became one
