Thiessen credits Aaron Spelling, who was an executive producer of "90210," with giving her an interesting perspective on fame. "Aaron Spelling said something to me a long time ago that was really interesting," she said. "He said ... movie stars are in big screens and you have to go see them in the theater. TV stars are in people's homes and they feel much more of a connection because you're watching them in your home, and I thought that was really interesting because it was kind of true. A lot of people you know would stop me on the street thinking they went to high school with me." Thiessen divides her time between Los Angeles, where she lives with her husband and daughter, and New York City, where she films the USA series "White Collar," which aired its season four series finale this week. In the series, Matt Bomer plays former con man Neal Caffrey, who is working with the FBI to catch white-collar criminals. Thiessen's character is married to agent Peter Burke, who supervises Caffrey. "If I wasn't an actor, I probably would be an event planner, which is why my character, Elizabeth, on
'White Collar' is an event planner. It was kind of my idea," Thiessen
said. "Presentation is huge for me. I love throwin' a good party. Absolutely. Like my daughter's birthday last year. I did all the catering, all the food, all the decor, and I loved every minute of it. Of course, my husband's like,
'Do we have to do this much?' I just love doing it." ___ Online:
