Jessie From Saved By The Bell Now

So, there I was, scrolling through my social media feed the other day, when suddenly, a blast from the past popped up. You know how it is, you're minding your own business, and then bam! - it's like you've been hit by a Bayside Tiger slam dunk. In this case, it was a throwback pic of Jessie Spano, aka Elizabeth Berkley, from Saved By The Bell. And let me tell you, it got me thinking - what ever happened to our beloved '80s and '90s TV stars?

Jessie Spano: From A+ Student to Broadway Star

Now, I know what you're thinking - "Hey, wasn't Jessie like, the smart one? The one who always had her nose in a book?" Well, guess what? Elizabeth Berkley, the actress who played her, is just as impressive off-screen. After Saved By The Bell, she went on to star in the cult classic Showgirls, and then, get this, she became a Broadway star!

That's right, folks. Jessie Spano traded in her high school textbooks for a spot on the Great White Way. She's been in several Broadway shows, including Sly Fox, Sweet Charity, and even The Crucible. Talk about a career upgrade, huh?

From "I'm So Excited" to "I'm So Grateful"

But Berkley's journey hasn't been all glitz and glamour. In a interview with Oprah Daily, she opened up about her struggles with body image and self-doubt. She even admitted to having a breakdown after Showgirls because she felt like she'd let everyone down.

However, Berkley turned her experiences into a positive, founding a wellness company called Berkley Method to help others overcome their own challenges. She's also been open about her gratitude for her career and the opportunities it's given her.
