Shannen Doherty dies aged 53. The star, who was known for her roles in Beverly Hills 90210 and Charmed passed away on Saturday, her publicist Leslie Sloane said in a statement to People magazine. ”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.” Doherty was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2015. The actress rose to fame in 1990 as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210, a drama depicting the lives of rich kids living in the Los Angeles suburbs. Doherty appeared in 111 episodes before leaving the series at the end of season four. She did, however, return as Brenda in the 2008 revival 90210 and a second 2019 revival, BH90210. In Charmed she played Prue Halliwell, the eldest of three witch sisters, and also directed three episodes. Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in February 2015, but in 2017 said she was in remission. By 2019 the cancer had returned and in June 2023, she revealed the cancer had spread to her brain. Doherty was married three times, to Ashley Hamilton, then poker player Rick Salomon and photographer Kurt Iswarienko, who she filed for divorce from in 2023.
