The show became a ratings juggernaut, lasting 10 seasons, and remains one of the most successful television series produced. Last season, Garth reprised her role as Kelly in the new 90210 series. She was back at West Beverly High, but this time she was all grown up and working as the school guidance counselor. In 2007, Garth competed on ABC's hit show Dancing With the Stars. Her newfound moves and loyal fans made her a crowd favorite and kept her in the competition through the semifinals. She made her comedy debut in 2002 as the straight-laced sister of Amanda Bynes in the WB's What I Like About You. The series concluded in 2006. Garth recently has served as a national spokesperson for the American Heart Association, working to raise awareness not only about heart disease, but preventive measures to reduce risk factors. Her dedication to a healthy heart is crucial to women worldwide as heart disease is the No. 1 cause of death among women. She continues to contribute her time through numerous national media outlets. Garth and husband, actor Peter Facinelli, have three daughters -- Luca Bella, Lola Ray and Fiona Eve. The family enjoys spending time at their home in Los Angeles and their ranch in northern California.
