So, grab your s'mores and let's get started! Guys, explore more in Guides And Explainers and troop beverly hills cast now.
Shelley Long as Phyllis Nefler
Troop Beverly Hills kicked off with Shelley Long as our fearless and fashionably challenged leader, Phyllis Nefler. After her hilarious turn as Diane Chambers in Cheers, Shelley slid into the role of the wealthy but clueless Phyllis, who finds her purpose in life by leading a troop of Beverly Hills Girl Scouts.
Since then, Shelley has maintained a steady presence in TV and film. She's appeared in shows like Frasier, King of Queens, and Modern Family, and movies like The Brady Bunch Movie and Dr. T & the Women. Most recently, she lent her voice to the animated series Big Mouth.
Jenny Lewis as Lucy Sinclair
Playing Phyllis' daughter and the troop's reluctant member was the adorable Jenny Lewis. You might recognize her from her subsequent roles in The Wizard and The Adventures of Huck Finn.
Post-Troop, Jenny continued acting but eventually shifted her focus to music. She's the lead singer of the indie rock band Rilo Kiley and has released several solo albums. She's also collaborated with other artists like Elvis Costello and The Postal Service. In 2019, she released her fourth solo album, On the Line.
Hanna Schygulla as Carla
Playing Phyllis' rival and fellow Beverly Hills mom was the talented Hanna Schygulla. She brought a touch of European elegance to the film, with her extensive filmography including works by renowned directors like Werner Herzog and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.
After Troop, Hanna continued her impressive career in both European and American cinema. She's appeared in films like The Tango Lesson, The Seventh Son, and The Consequences of Love. She was also awarded the European Film Academy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2006.
Tori Spelling as Heather
Before she was Donna Martin on Beverly Hills, 90210, Tori Spelling played the sassy and stylish Heather in Troop Beverly Hills. This role was a great warm-up for her iconic teen drama days.
After 90210, Tori went on to star in several reality TV shows, including her own series Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood. She's also written several books, including a tell-all about her famous father, Aaron Spelling. Recently, she's been focusing on her family and her podcast, *LadyGang.
Carmen Electra as Robin
Before she became a '90s sex symbol, Carmen Electra (then known as Tara Patrick) played the sweet and shy Robin in Troop Beverly Hills.
After changing her name and moving to Los Angeles, Carmen became a household name with her role in the Scary Movie franchise. She's also appeared in numerous TV shows and movies, and has had a successful music career. Most recently, she's been focusing on her wellness brand, *Electra Wellness.
Troop Beverly Hills Reunion
In 2019, the cast of Troop Beverly Hills reunited for the first time in 30 years at a special screening of the film in Los Angeles. The event was hosted by Broad City's Ilana Glazer, and the cast shared stories and laughed about their experiences making the film.
It was a heartwarming reminder that, even after all these years, the magic of Troop Beverly Hills is still going strong. And we can't help but wonder, who among us wouldn't want to spend an afternoon sipping champagne and eating chocolate with these amazing women?
So there you have it, folks! A trip down memory lane with the cast of Troop Beverly Hills. It's been a blast revisiting these talented actors and seeing what they've been up to.
