Shannen Doherty, ‘Beverly Hills 90210’ and ‘Charmed’ Star, Dies at 53


Shannen Doherty, who played Brenda on 'Beverly Hills 90210' and starred in 'Charmed,' has died.

Their later breakup, when Dylan hooked up with her best friend Kelly, played by Jenny Garth, was also big news, and the show was considered groundbreaking in its willingness to address topics like drug abuse and racism. She was labeled a diva in the press and there was even a pre-internet newsletter called “I Hate Brenda.” Doherty appeared in 111 episodes before leaving the series at the end of season four, amid reports of friction with other cast members, particularly Garth. In feature films, she appeared in another teen classic, “Heathers,” as well as in “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and Kevin Smith’s “Mallrats” and “Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back.”
