Tori Spelling has been in the limelight since she was just a tiny tot, thanks to her film and TV producer father, Aaron Spelling and glamorous mom, Candy.

While the actress and author’s relationship with her parents had its ups and downs, growing increasingly strained over the years, she eventually reconciled with both prior to Aaron’s death in 2006. Long before that, she got her start as a child star appearing in her dad’s shows in the ’80s before landing her breakthrough role on the Spelling-produced Beverly Hills, 90210.

On Tori’s 51st birthday, take a look back at these family photos of the young star with Aaron, Candy and brother Randy.
