Jennie Garth is choosing herself in more ways than one.

The veteran star, best known for her work on Beverly Hills, 90210, leaned into the mantra to inspire a new podcast and memoir I Choose Me: Chasing Joy, Finding Purpose, and Embracing Reinvention. To promote the projects, she sat for a revelatory People magazine cover story that dishes on her breakout role, a crushing divorce from Peter Facinelli, miscarriages and the shock of losing co-star Luke Perry.

Commenting on the tidal wave of fame delivered by Beverly Hills, 90210, Garth likened it to “being in the Beatles,” adding, “There was no preparation for it.
