Shannen Doherty

Shannen Doherty is a famous American actress who became famous for her roles in the cult TV series Beverly Hills: 90210 and Charmed.

However, not only her creativity influenced her popularity, but also the scandalous character of the celebrity, which she demonstrated both on the set and in life. Shannen's conflict quickly became the talk of the town, and the actress herself became a tidbit for the paparazzi.

The future actress was born on April 12, 1971 in Memphis in the family of real estate agent Tom Doherty and the owner of the beauty salon Rosa Doherty. The quiet girl Shannen has grown over time into one of the most provocative Hollywood actresses.

6 years after her birth, an event took place in her life that determined her future fate: the girl's parents decided to change the quiet city in Tennessee to the bustling and attractive Los Angeles.

In the capital of world cinema, young Shannen felt that this was her life, her passion. The first small step towards the "American dream" was the girl's request to enroll her in a theater studio. And although Rosa was not delighted with this desire of her daughter, she did not stand in the way.

The acting path began with a huge number of castings. And in 1981, Doherty got a small role in the television series "Father Murphy". Shortly after this event, her career begins to take off. Michael Lendon, the father of the teenage series Little House on the Prairie, gives her a vivid role, and director Ron Howard has unleashed a stream of cameo roles on her in Magnum Private Detective, Kegney & Lacey and The Night Shift.

The first career disruptions began shortly after Little House on the Prairie closed in 1983, but Shannen did not think to be upset. She had already gained fame and believed in a bright future, waiting for new bright works. Alas, so far only episodes in TV series have shone for her. And in 1985, the actress managed to strengthen her career with roles in the films Girls Want to Have Fun and Another Lover.

From 1986 to 1988, Shannen portrayed Chris Witherspoon, the eldest daughter, on the television show Our Home. For this work, the actress received her first Young Artist Award. And already in 1989, young Doherty played her first major role in the film "Deadly Attraction".

The actress's tangible ascent to the Hollywood Olympus began in 1990 when Shannen landed the role of Brenda Walsh in the cult TV series Beverly Hills: 90210 by renowned television producer Aaron Spelling. This work brought her popularity.

In 1991 and 1992, she was nominated for the Young Artist Award for Young Actress in a Leading Television Series. Together with Jenny Garth (the role of Kelly Taylor) and Luke Perry (the role of Dylan McKay) Shannen Doherty gains worldwide fame.

At this time those same "devils from the still waters" began to come to life. In 1994, after filming the 4th season of the television series, Shannen left the project due to disagreements with colleagues and the crew. Doherty herself admits that in life she is the complete opposite of Brenda from Beverly Hills.

In the film, her heroine is distinguished by her modesty and calm character, but the actress herself created the image of a real "bad girl", and to strengthen such "fame" Doherty even undressed in a candid photo session of Playboy magazine.

Later, the girl took part in the Antoine Vergle photoset, presenting herself in front of the camera in a swimsuit. Famous men's publications Maxim, FHM, online magazine Ask Men have repeatedly included her name in the list of the 100 sexiest actresses in the world. Miniature (Shannen's height is 163 cm, weight - 43-45 kg), endowed with an explosive character, she clearly aroused interest in the male half of humanity.

The scandals surrounding the Doherty surname were perceived by the general public in different ways. Critics often accused the actress of organizing a PR campaign to increase her own popularity, and numerous incidents with her participation were associated with the girl's mental disabilities.

In 1998, producer Aaron Spelling and Shannen Doherty reconciled. The result of their friendship was the work of a film actress in the new series "Charmed" - the role of Prue Halliwell, the eldest of three sisters-witches. This time, the girl got the image of a wise, balanced woman art critic, endowed with magical ability. And again, the artist did not manage to stay in the project for long. During the filming of Charmed, the same problems began as they once did in Beverly Hills.

However, the girl actually became wiser: she did not wait for scandals, but made a "knight's move", saying that the series did not give her the necessary professional growth, she was tired of participating in a project for teenagers, deciding to leave it for the "big movie".

At the same time, the television series became a kind of progress in the creative biography for other actresses: Julian McMahon, Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano. In the future, thanks to the popular project, these representatives of Hollywood will become in demand in the American film industry.

During the filming, there were conflicts with colleagues. The warm relationship between Doherty and Alyssa Milano went wrong. Repeatedly the American media reported that Shannen allegedly arranged provocations for her colleague, and Alice did not remain in debt. The producers even planned the death of Phoebe, Milano's heroine, just in case, but Shannen still had to leave: her Prue was killed in a fight with a demon.

In 2003, the actress continues her soap career, starring in serials and television talk shows. In addition, she became a TV presenter of the reality show "Cruel Intentions", and then got the lead role in the TV series "North Shore", which was worked on from 2004 to 2005. A failed attempt to create his own talk show "Divorce from Shannen Doherty" brought only low ratings.

In the fall of 2008, Doherty returns to basics: again becomes Brand Walsh in the spin-off "90210: The New Generation." In the same year, Shannen embodied another image in the film "Treasures of the Aztecs". In 2009, she tries herself in a new capacity: the art director of the glossy tabloid Pasadena, which was a successful event, because she held out on this job for a long time.

In 2010, the filmography of the actress's full-length works was replenished with the comedy "Burning Palms". Despite an active advertising campaign and the attraction of talented actors to the main cast (Dylan McDermott, Shannen Doherty, Zoe Saldana), the film did not become the highlight of the season and flopped at the box office.

4 years later, the actress tried to take revenge by playing the main female role in the biographical drama "Bukowski" directed by James Franco. The picture also did not bring the performer the impetus she expected to film career. Mostly, Doherty played episodic heroines or supporting characters in television series. She participated in the projects "Huge Growth", "Room 7", "Gretel".

Despite his lack of "serious roles," Shannen cannot complain about the lack of awards that "measure" popularity. From 1983 to 1992, the actress was nominated for a Young Artist Award in various categories.

In 1999 and 2000, she was nominated for Best Actress in the Saturn Award for her portrayal of Prue in Charmed, and in 2007 for the Most Outrageous Breakups of the TV Land Awards for Parting with Luke Perry in Beverly Hills: 90210.

The television series "Beverly Hills: 90210", "Charmed", "Deadly Attraction" and the film "Prison Break" will be called the best films of the American film actress.

On August 19, 2015, the Associated Press international news agency reported that Shannen Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer. According to the source, the cancer was found in March 2015. This came to light shortly after the actress sued Tanner Mainstain Glynn & Johnson, which handled her case.

The essence of the lawsuit was that the company delayed the registration of Shannen's health insurance, as a result, the actress did not pass the examination on time, and the cancer was not detected at the initial stage. The insurance company denied all points of the claim, stating that the insurance was issued within the prescribed time frame.

The American media reported that the disease was progressing and the Hollywood celebrity was dying. Soon Shannen began to struggle for life, and her health condition gradually improved. On one of the TV shows on the Netflix channel, Doherty spoke frankly about the struggle with the terrible disease. With a detailed story, the celebrity made the TV presenter Chelsea Handler cry.

According to the actress, “even in cancer there is something difficult, beautiful and unusual - something that destroys you and rebuilds you, destroys you and creates again”. The celebrity admitted that the disease changed her, but she accepted all the changes that happened to her, realizing the value of time.

The American media has repeatedly informed that in May 2016 the actress underwent a unilateral mastectomy, but the cancer did not recede, the situation only worsened. Doherty was prescribed numerous courses of chemotherapy and radiotherapy. According to the celebrity, the worst thing is ignorance, because there is never a guarantee that the treatment will work.

Already in November 2016, Shannen Doherty received the Courage Award. The award was presented to the actress by the American Cancer Society in Los Angeles.

The star of the series "Beverly Hills" did not lose hope of participating in new projects. After undergoing long courses of chemotherapy, the actress first appeared in public during the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation's event, which was organized by the American Animal Rights Foundation.

Doherty never left a smile on her face, and many noticed that she no longer puts on a headscarf, because now her hair has grown back, she has a stylish haircut. The actress talked to the media, saying that she feels great and is ready to live fully again. According to her, cancer is dangerous because it can destroy a person's spirit, isolating it from the outside world.

Shannen arrived at the solemn event with her husband, photographer Kurt Isvarenko, who was with her in difficult times. She often recalls her husband in interviews, claiming that he became a real support for her in difficult moments of life.

Gradually, the actress stopped documenting and uploading photos on Instagram, telling fans the details of the disease. Previously, she repeatedly informed fans about how she felt when undergoing chemotherapy and other procedures.

In November 2016, Shannen Doherty posted a photo as Heather Duke from the original version of the movie "Death Attraction". Hollywood celebrities such as Lisanne Falk, Winona Ryder and Kim Walker also starred in this film. Users immediately started talking about creating a new TV version of the popular crime drama.

The artist's personal life developed unpredictably and violently, in accordance with her character. In her youth, the owner of the photo studio Dean Factor, the realtor Chris Foufast, the actors Dean Cain, Rob Weiss, Luke Perry became her chosen ones. But all the novels turned out to be fleeting.

Despite the fact that Shannen Doherty was officially married three times, the celebrity has no children yet. The first marriage was spontaneous, back in 1993 she married musician and actor Ashley Hamilton. The wedding took place 2 weeks after the newlyweds met. The divorce became just as spontaneous, formalized exactly 6 months later.

The second husband was Rick Salomon, an American producer, but this marriage also broke up: after 7 months of married life, in 2003, it was annulled.

On October 15, 2011, in Malibu, Shannen marries Kurt Isvarenko, a famous photographer. Now the couple lives together.

Since her youth, the actress is not indifferent to animals, at the age of 11 she even organized a shelter for dogs and cats "ShanDo Kennels". Over the years, Doherty's love for them has not disappeared. The woman still participates in charity events aimed at helping homeless or wild animals. She posts relevant posts on social networks.

In the spring of 2018, Shannen again came under medical supervision. The next tests showed an unacceptable increase in one tumor marker. The actress did not lose her positive emotions and hoped for the best. Soon the therapeutic measures carried out helped her to return to her family.

Despite all the hardships, Shannen continues to appear on the screen. In 2018, with her participation, the series "Deadly Attraction", previously announced on the actress's account, and "Nobody Wanted to Talk" were released. Both films are devoted to the problems of adaptation of adolescents in society and first love.

In 2019, the celebrity continues to star in the comedy How to Make a Deal with the Devil, in which she has the lead role. Also, the premiere of a remake of the movie "Party People from the Supermarket", where Doherty again appeared in the main cast, took place.

In 2020, sad news awaited the artist's fans: Shannen's disease had returned, the actress was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. However, despite the seriousness of the diagnosis, Doherty is not going to give up and intends to fight the disease with all her might.
