As for herself, Spelling admits that her career has been filled with "misconceptions" since her time on the Fox drama series. "I was the producer's daughter," she points out, noting the situation has caused people to constantly question her level of talent and make up rumors about her. "So I used to cry when I was young and I'd be like, 'If people really knew me I feel like they would like me, like they'd wanna be friends with me. I'm a good girl.'"
