Let's Take a Look Back At Behind-the-Scenes Of 'Felicity'

5. The Mystery Writer

During the show’s run, it made news headlines for a scandal involving one of its writers. She was named Riley Weston, and she pretended to be a recently graduated high school student. She was given heaps of praise for being such a talented and successful writer at such a young age.

Riley was hired because she had faked her age when she sent in scripts. When the truth was uncovered, she confessed she was actually a thirty-year-old woman. When the network found it, they let her go. Crazy, right?
