Jennie Garth Facts

As a child, Jennie’s sisters nicknamed her Puddles because she would cry a lot to get her way. She was also called Casper because she was extremely pale and fair.

In 2014, she published a memoir titled Deep Thoughts from a Hollywood Blonde to share some of the defining moments of her life.

In her memoir, she has revealed that she started suffering from anxiety at age 19, saying “I wouldn’t say that I ever stepped over the line into full-blown agoraphobia, but I would say I definitely came close.”
