Shannen Doherty, famed for her roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” passed away at 53. Diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, she bravely documented her treatment journey. Despite remission, her cancer returned in 2020 at stage four and later spread to her brain and bones.
She succumbed to the illness on July 13, surrounded by loved ones and her dog, Bowie, as confirmed by her publicist.Doherty’s career began in her childhood, and she became widely recognized for her role as Brenda Walsh in “90210.”
Known for her strong opinions and tumultuous relationships on set, she was often labeled the “iconic ‘bad girl’ of the 90s.” Her time on “Charmed” was marked by similar behind-the-scenes conflicts, but she continued to be a significant figure in television, reprising her role in “90210” reboots in 2008 and 2019.
Despite her controversial image, Doherty took responsibility for her past actions, as she discussed in a recent podcast. She spoke about learning diplomacy and dealing with criticism constructively.
Her acting career spanned from childhood roles to adult stardom, supported by her family throughout. Doherty’s personal life included three marriages, the last to photographer Kurt Iswarienko, from whom she filed for divorce last year.
