24 Sep
Summary
- Donovan's first scene involved being in bed with Jason Priestley.
- She filmed her debut scene without a rehearsal.
- Donovan was surprised by the show's fast-paced, no-rehearsal approach.
Elisa Donovan recently shared a memorable experience from her time on the set of Beverly Hills, 90210. Donovan, who joined the popular teen drama as Ginger LaMonica in its sixth season, revealed that her very first day involved filming a scene where she was in bed with co-star Jason Priestley.
She admitted to being unprepared for the direct filming approach. As it was her first hour-long television role, Donovan expected a rehearsal period. However, she was surprised to learn that a brief blocking session was considered the extent of the rehearsal, and they proceeded to shoot the scene immediately afterward.
Despite the unexpected start, Donovan found the experience educational and ultimately successful. Priestley reportedly made her feel more comfortable by acknowledging the unusual situation. Although her role was brief, appearing in only four episodes, Donovan's character became a memorable guest star on the series.
