Shannen Doherty, famous for her roles on “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” has died at 53 after a long battle with breast cancer. “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty,” her publicist Leslie Sloane said.
“She lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease.” Doherty rose to fame in 1990 as Brenda Walsh on “Beverly Hills, 90210,” portraying a girl navigating life in Beverly Hills with her twin brother, Brandon.
The show was a massive hit, addressing issues like drug abuse and racism, and Doherty became a central figure of media scrutiny.
