BEVERLY HILLS 90210 - FAWCETT TO APPEAR IN SPELLING'S SHOW

Former BEVERLY HILLS 90210 star TORI SPELLING is elated after persuading real-life neighbour FARRAH FAWCETT to make an appearance in her upcoming comedy TV show NOTORIOUS.

A pilot of the show, which is loosely based on the actress' life, is being shot this week (ends08APR05), and Spelling is thrilled it will feature Fawcett as a neighbour.

Spelling says, "In real life, she is my next-door neighbour. It was a really funny coincidence. I hadn't seen her since the set of CHARLIE'S ANGELS, then I open up my door one day, and there's Farrah Fawcett in the hallway."

The actress is hoping that Fawcett - whose career was kickstarted by her dad AARON SPELLING - will become a regular fixture on the show, despite having her own reality series.
