[post_page_title]Fighting for Kelly [/post_page_title]
It’s hard to imagine anyone but Tiffani Thiessen playing Kelly Kapowski, but actually she was almost played by Elizabeth Berkley. Both actresses auditioned for the role, and it ultimately came down to choosing between the two of them.

Producer Peter Engel fought for Thiessen because he felt that she was going to be a big star, so the role went to her. However, the producers loved Berkley so much that they decided to create the role of Jessie Spano just for her.
