Actress <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/celebrities">Shannen Doherty</a> of “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed” fame has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/death">died</a> at the age of 53.
She passed away after battling <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/breast-cancer">breast cancer</a> for several years. Her publicist Leslie Sloane shared the update, per <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/obituaries/shannen-doherty-star-beverly-hills-90210-charmed-dies-53-rcna88376">NBC News</a>. “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 many years of fighting the disease,” Sloane wrote.
Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015 and later went into remission following treatment. She shared a post on Instagram in June 2023 detailing how the cancer had spread to her brain.
“On January 5th, my scan showed (metastasis) in my brain,” she posted at the time. “My fear is obvious. I am extremely claustrophobic and there was a lot going on in my life,” Doherty continued. “But that fear…. The turmoil….. the timing of it all…. This is what cancer can look like.”
The actress scored a major role in 1982 when she was cast as Laura Ingalls Wilder’s adopted daughter on the popular TV series “Little House on the Prairie.” She was 10 years old at the time.
This role led to others, including Maggie Malene in “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” (1985), Kris Witherspoon in the series “Our House” (1986–1988), and Heather Duke in the teen comedy-drama “Heathers” (1989). Doherty was next cast in her breakout role on “Beverly Hills, 90210.” She became a superstar for her portrayal of Brenda Walsh as the drama became a national sensation.
Doherty had a tumultuous love life, marrying and divorcing three different men over the years. She had no children.
The actress gave a heartbreaking interview in December detailing how she wasn’t ready to give up on life.
“I don’t want to die,” she told People magazine at the time, as The Daily Wire previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/shannen-doherty-gives-heartbreaking-cancer-update">reported</a>. “I’m not done with living. I’m not done with loving. I’m not done with creating. I’m not done with hopefully changing things for the better. I’m just not — I’m not done.”
She added, “When you ask yourself, ‘Why me? Why did I get cancer?’ and then ‘Why did my cancer come back? Why am I stage 4?,’ that leads you to look for the bigger purpose in life.”
