A Shining Light Passes
Shannen Doherty, the raven-haired actress known for playing headstrong characters in the 1990s television dramas Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed, died Saturday after her years-long battle with breast cancer. She was 59.
A child actor who became one of the biggest stars of the 1990s as a student on the high school drama Beverly Hills 90210, Doherty played Brenda Walsh, the rebellious and independent oldest child in a wealthy family. She starred in the show for four seasons before leaving in 1994.
In 2015, Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer. She underwent a mastectomy and chemotherapy, but the cancer returned in 2019. In February 2020, she announced that the cancer was in remission, but it returned again in 2022.
Doherty's death is a tragic loss for the entertainment industry and for her fans around the world. She was a talented actress and a beloved public figure who will be deeply missed.
