Leven Rambin, who stars as ditzy model wannabe Heather West on ABC's new Sunday comedy "Scoundrels," had a good time filming her upcoming story arc with guest star Jason Priestley, especially since she didn't have to get over being starstruck by the former teen heartthrob.
"I've never seen an episode of 'Beverly Hills, 90210' in my life," the 20-year-old actress tells Zap2it. "I mean, I know who he is, but I didn't really know his work, unfortunately. He's a big 'Sarah Conner' fan, so he knew more about me than I did about him."
Priestley guest stars as Grant Wilby, a fading 80s icon who once made a splash as a hotshot TV detective.
"Now he's doing reality TV, and Heather is totally enamored with his fame and fortune, mostly," Rambin says. "We hit it off. Grant sees her as a bright young star and she sees him as the optimal lifestyle.

The premiere of ABC’s one hour summer dramedy, Scoundrels had many highs and some lows.
There is a cast full of well known and talented actors including Virginia Madsen as Cheryl West, Leven Rambin as Heather West, and Carlos Bernard as Sergeant Mack. As for the characters…it is quite displeasing to see Leven Rambin playing the blonde who has nothing but her looks and criminal background to get her ahead. Rambin has played such smarter roles, so hopefully this role will not seem so out of place in future episodes when there is more character development and range…because Rambin can do much better than the typical pretty blonde. Heather’s sister, Hope (Vanessa Marano) is the typical sarcastic, smart, brunette sister on TV so hopefully there is more to appreciate there as well. Perhaps her passion for film making and other characteristics aside from her sarcasm will...

Jason Priestley might be done with "90210" and its progenitor, but he's not done with TV.

It's no surprise that Hell's Kitchen doesn't have a great track record of awarding its prizes to its winners, but its winners have rarely discussed that. In an interview with the New York Post, season two winner Heather West--who worked as a sous chef during season six but was pretty much invisible the entire season--mentions not getting her own restaurant like the show said she'd receive. "Honestly, they're really not going to completely trust someone...
