On Saturday, actress Shannen Doherty passed away. Her age was fifty-three. She was well-known for “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed.” Doherty went dead after battling breast cancer for years, according to an AP story that quoted her publicist Leslie Sloane.

Doherty’s condition was made known to the public in a 2015 lawsuit. Subsequently, she disclosed personal information on her post-single mastectomy care. She shared a picture of her first radiation treatment day on social media in December 2016 and described the experience as “frightening.” Doherty disclosed that her cancer has returned and she was in stage four in February 2020.

After damage to her California house, the actor filed a lawsuit against State Farm, a major insurance provider in 2018.

“Her dog, Bowie, and her loved ones surrounding the dedicated daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. In a statement, Sloane added, “The family requests their privacy at this time so they can grieve in peace. First to report on the story was People magazine.

Doherty, a native of Memphis, Tennessee, relocated to Los Angeles at the age of seven with her family, and a few years later, she started her career as an actor. She played Jenny Wilder in TV shows like “Little House on the Prairie” and continued to work steadily as a kid star. As a teenager, she made a detour to the big screen, appearing in the films Heathers and Girls Just Want to Have Fun (1985).

The dark-haired, doe-eyed actor made her breakthrough in producer Aaron Spelling’s popular teenage melodrama, set in affluent Beverly Hills, in 1990 as Brenda Walsh. She was an outsider in the Midwest, as was Brenda’s twin brother Brandon, played by Jason Priestley. When “Beverly Hills, 90210” concluded its fourth season in 1994, she departed the program (which ran until 2000).
