Description

Jason Priestley — Beverly Hills 90210’s Brandon Walsh — sits down with Dini Petty in January 1993, when the show was a worldwide phenomenon and he was the 23-year-old at the centre of it. This is the other side of the storm: not the magazine covers or the screaming crowds, but a young actor who’d been auditioning since he was four calmly describing what sudden fame does to a person. The conversation goes quiet when he recounts what Luke Perry told him in his dressing room about what the show would do to all their lives long after it ended. None of them could know how true it would prove. Taped January 19, 1993 and broadcast the following day, alongside segments on Hollywood Kids and a look ahead at Hillary Clinton’s role as First Lady, with Toby Styles.
