Jennie Garth has experienced some surreal moments since she was catapulted to fame with the most iconic show of the ’90s.
TheBeverly Hills, 90210star, 49, appears along with with Tori Spelling on this week’s episode of thePEOPLE in the ‘90spodcast, where she recounts being put in an animal cage with her late costar Luke Perry to escape the show’s passionate fans at a zoo in Fresno, California, on Earth Day in 1991.
“And it sort of summed it up for me because I felt like a zoo animal,” Garth tellsPEOPLE in the ‘90shosts Jason Sheeler and Andrea Lavinthal. “It was just weird. And then it got too crazy, and people were rushing the zoo cages. And we had to go out through one of the enclosures of the animals — I don’t remember, the monkeys or something — but I just remember them actually putting us in a cage at the zoo. And I was like, ‘This feels good.’ "
She calls it “one of the pivotal moments” in realizing they’d become famous, but Spelling, 48, mostly remembers girls going crazy for their male costars, which included Perry, Brian Austin Green, Jason Priestley and Ian Ziering.

“I guess when everyone started fanning out over us, mostly we remember the boys, they would go crazy for the boys,” says Spelling. “And we were like, ‘They’re dreamy, but we are with them every day.’ So it was very different to see how girls would freak out.”
