Actress Shannen Doherty, star of the popular TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 and Charmed, has died. She was 53 years old and had been battling breast cancer for the past 9 years.
“It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty. On Saturday, July 13, she lost her battle with cancer after years of battling the disease,” the actress's representative, Leslie Sloan, said in a statement to CNN.
Doherty is best known for her roles as Heather Duke in the 1989 cult classic Heathers, Brenda Walsh from 1990 to 1994 on the hit series Beverly Hills, 90210 and its subsequent spin-off 90210, and Prue Halliwell in "Charmed" from 1998 to 2001.
Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015, which went into remission two years later. In 2020, Doherty announced that the cancer had returned, had spread and was in stage four. In June 2023, she shared the news that her cancer had spread to her brain.
Doherty documented her experience with cancer on her podcast, Let's Get Clear with Shannen Doherty.
