After a years long battle with cancer, Shannen Doherty, the former Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed star, passed away yesterday at the age of 53. Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and suffered a recurrence in 2019, which had spread to her brain and her bones.
Doherty rose to fame starring as Brenda Walsh on the first four seasons of Beverly Hills 90210. She would then later star as Prue Halliwell, the oldest sister on Charmed. She left that gig after the third season. On the big screen, she was known for her supporting roles in Heathers and Mallrats.
Doherty is now the second cast member from the 90s teen soap to prematurely shuttle off this mortal coil. Luke Perry, who played Doherty’s dangerous boyfriend Dylan McKay, suffered a massive stroke in 2019, dying a week later after being taken off life support. He was 52.
