She really didn't. She nailed Kelly Taylor not Jennie Garth. We don't know how Jennie Garth was behind the scenes. She seemed to have watched a lot of 90210 episodes and tried to mimic a lot of Kelly Taylor's mannerism. That's not Jennie Garth, that's the character she portrayed on the show.

The actress portraying Shannen Doherty did a better job because she showed us how Shannen was behind the scenes, which was totally different from goody two shoes Brenda Walsh.

It doesn't seem like it would take that much effort to play "Kelly Taylor".
Blonde hair, pale skin, red lipstick, always with a confused look on her face.

I think the original poster was referring to the acting, which I thought was spot-on! Sure, the actress who played Jennie had blond hair, pale skin, and blue eyes, but that's not enough to portray a real person. The actress' acting skills were amazing--she emulated Jennie Garth and Kelly perfectly!

I agree - she nailed the classic Kelly Taylor bitchface that we have all come to hate. I liked how they showed her personality change when Shannon left and she became queen bee on the set pretty much blowing off Tiffany when she arrived and taking over Shannon's dressing room.

I never heard that Jennie was bitchie towards TIffany A T.

Anyway, I agree. Both Shannen and Kelly were the best of it all.
Most painful to watch: the stupid FOX dudes and Brian Austin Green. Imagine how those parts were written in an actual script. I would hate myself while directing that crap. Poor Dan Castalaneta.
