Beverly Hills 90210: Jennie Garth And Tori Spelling Say Luke Perry’s Death Still Doesn’t Feel Real
Luke Perry was only 52 years old when he passed away and he was supposed to start filming the BH90210 reboot a few months later. The actor played heartthrob Dylan McKay from 1990 to 1995 and again from 1998 to 2000.
“When we first got together for the first promo shoot, there was a moment, it was heartbreaking, where Ian [Ziering] slipped,” Tori said. “We were waiting for all of us, and we, you know, we count – it’s like when you have kids and you count your kids – there’s always eight of us, and you count. Ian turned around and said, ‘Where’s Luke?’ and then I saw him catch himself, and he turned away.”
Tori also added, “He had such an impact on the world,” she described. “He was just as special as [everyone] thought he was, or wanted him to be, and even more so.”
As many fans know, Beverly Hills 90210 was one of the most talked about series when it first debuted back in 1990. Along with Jennie, Tori and Luke, the series also starred Jason Priestly, Shannen Doherty, and Brian Austin Green.
