‘90210’ Star Gives Illinois Food Bank Big Wheel of Fortune Prize
I did not have any idea one of the stars of
Beverly Hills, 90210 is an Illinois native, which explains why she would give a generous donation to a food bank in the Land of Lincoln.
Jenny Garth is arguably most known for her role as Kelly Taylor in
Beverly Hills, 90210, but did you know she is originally from Urbana, Illinois? She's also starred in other shows, had a reality series, and most recently she was a contestant on a celebrity edition of
Wheel of Fortune.
The episode aired last yesterday and not only featured Jenny Garth, but also Karamo Brown and Patton Oswalt. But, apparently, it was Jenny Garth who seemed to do all the puzzle-solving, as reported by The Pantagraph. "The Illinois native finished the game with a successful answer in the “food and drink” category", the Illinois newspaper reported. Jenny Garth's awesome letter/word skills won her $168,000 on the episode which had a $1M bonus round. She promised to give her winnings to Central Illinois Food Bank, which serves many counties, including the Urbana, Illinois nation.
