Where are they now? Stars of high-school movies go back to class

8/22/2008

Summer is nearly over and everyone's getting ready to head back to school, even some former stars from the '90s TV hit Beverly Hills, 90210. They'll be returning to their old stomping grounds as part of the CW update 90210 that premieres Sept. 2. Well, if Jennie Garth can return to high school after all these years - now as a guidance counselor at West Beverly Hills High School - so can some of our favorite characters from the most memorable high school movies ever. Here are our best guesses as to where they might be now, based on their earlier words of cinematic wisdom. - Ryan E. Smith
