Shannen Doherty, known for her roles in "Beverly Hills, 90210" and "Charmed," has died after a battle with cancer. She was 53.
Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, and underwent a mastectomy, chemotherapy, and radiation. She announced she was in remission in 2017. As a child star, she worked steadily in such TV series as "Little House on the Prairie," in which she played Jenny Wilder. She detoured as a teenager to the big screen in "Girls Just Want to Have Fun" and "Heathers."
Three years later, in 1997, Doherty was sentenced to anger-management counseling by a Beverly Hills Municipal Court judge after she allegedly smashed a beer bottle onto a man's windshield during a quarrel. In another legal scrape, she pleaded no contest after a 2001 drunken driving arrest and was ordered to serve five days in a work-release program.
Doherty co-starred with Holly Marie Combs and Alyssa Milano in "Charmed" from 1998-2001, at which point her character was replaced by one played by Rose McGowan. Doherty appeared in the "90210" sequel series seven years later, along with original series star Jennie Garth, and competed on "Dancing with the Stars" in 2010.
