She starred on the Aaron Spelling-produced Beverly Hills 90210 for four years, from 1990 to 1994.

She hosted Scare Tactics on the Sci Fi channel until the 2004 season. She is now a regular on the series North Shore, a return to her prime-time soap roots.

Her private life has also been turbulent, with a six month marriage to Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton.
