6. Tori Spelling
Nepotism also helped launch the career of Tori Spelling, daughter of legendary (and late) TV producer Aaron Spelling. Through her dad, a 17-year-old Tori was able to land the plum role of Donna Martin in the 90s hit show Beverly Hills, 90210, where she easily became the least-liked character on the iconic teen drama series. With roles unsurprisingly sparse after the show ended, Tori anchored her own satirical sitcom, So Notorious, which played up her less-than-stellar reputation and lasted all of 10 episodes. Spelling eventually married actor Dean McDermott, with whom she has starred on numerous exploitative reality shows.
