Mom on '90210' is real-life priest

Check out a quirky interview from Religion News Service with an Episcopal priest who might look familiar to you old-school "90210" fans:

When we first met Ann Gillespie back in 1990, she was playing Jackie Taylor on "Beverly Hills, 90210." Her first scene found her snorting cocaine in the women's room during a mother-daughter fashion show. It wasn't pretty.

Now back in the CW's spin-off series, "90210," Jackie Taylor is still a train wreck, this time battling the bottle and berating her two daughters. It's still painful to watch.

But it's great fun for Ann Gillespie, the 51-year-old actress who left "Beverly Hills, 90210," for Virginia Theological Seminary, 22304. She's now the associate rector for worship and pastoral care at historic Christ (Episcopal) Church in Alexandria, Va.
