- Fans reacted negatively to her admission on social media.
Gabrielle Carteris, who gained fame as Andrea Zuckerman in the iconic '90s series Beverly Hills, 90210, has openly discussed the deception involved in securing her role. Carteris, now 65, confessed during a recent podcast appearance that she was 29 when she auditioned for the part, falsely stating her age as 21. This revelation has stirred reactions from fans, many of whom expressed their disapproval online.
Fans commented on social media, with some noting that her age was already a known topic during the show's run due to the significant age gap with her teenage character. Carteris had previously shared in 2019 that a lawyer advised her to state an age over 21 in her contract. Despite the disclosure, her role was not jeopardized because the show had begun to gain popularity and her character was established. A producer did remark on her good fortune in not being discovered earlier.
