Tori Spelling: Five Fun Facts
- Tori Spelling's childhood Halloween costumes were custom-made by Dynasty costume designer Nolan Miller, who once created 18th-century French court costumes for the entire family. "The Halloween costumes taught me a lot about how to wear heels at an early age," Spelling said. "Since they don't make children's high heels, Uncle Nolan found some at a midget store."
- Tori Spelling was one of five Beverly Hills, 90210 cast members to have a Mattel doll (Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Ian Ziering didn't get the honor). "I'd be embarrassed if little girls undressed me," Spelling told PEOPLE.
- Tori Spelling has a famous drag queen look-alike, Suppositori Spelling. "I love drag queens and they love me," she told Entertainment Weekly.
- Tori Spelling's beloved pug Mimi La Rue – who died in June 2008 – was a fashionista with her own wardrobe. "She comes screaming down the hallway and twirls around until you put her clothing on," Spelling said.
- Nearly 60 people lined up at 6:30 a.m. to attend Tori Spelling's two-day garage sale in 2006. "I'm having the sale because we're moving and my taste has changed," Spelling said. Items sold: signed Beverly Hills, 90210 scripts ($100), her dog's shampoo ($20), and a used Sephora lip gloss ($1).
