Shannen Doherty is an actress whose name never left the lips of reporters in the 90s. Distinguished by a stormy youth and explosive character, she has always been in the spotlight. Now Shannen has grown up and wiser a hundredfold.
Childhood and youth
On April 12, 1972, little Shannen was born into a wealthy American family. Her father was engaged in real estate, and her mother had her own beauty salon. The girl was the first and long-awaited child in the family.
Parents cared for her and cherished and spoiled her as best they could. But despite such an upbringing, the girl grew up as a peaceful and quiet child. The universal adoration did not affect her character in any way.
She was fond of equestrian sports, there is no tea in animals. Not a single stray dog could pass by.
Shannen grew up in a small provincial town, so the temptations of the metropolis were alien to her.
Everything changed rapidly when the family decided to trade the joys of rural life for the comforts of Los Angeles.
And from that moment on, the girl began to slowly but surely change. The move came just at the transitional age of the future actress. And this fact did not bode well for the future. And so it happened.
Shannen met a group of girls attending acting school and expressed a desire to join their circles. Mom resisted for a long time, but after much persuasion she gave up.
Doherty first played in cute children's plays, getting used to a new role for herself.
But in the future I decided not to stop at the performances.
Possessing the proper perseverance and strong character, she set herself the goal of conquering the big screens.
Moreover, the girl did not just dream of becoming an actress someday in the distant future. Not. She outlined the object of her desires and stubbornly walked towards it.
Doherty persistently went to auditions as to work. Immediately, of course, nothing came of it.
Nobody wanted to deal with an unknown actress, everyone needed successful "stars".
But at one point, fortune opened its arms to meet her.
Carier start
Doherty was invited to star in the TV series "Father Murphy". This small but significant role can be considered the starting point in a rich career as an actress.
By the age of 20, Shannen had starred in dozens of films and considered herself a well-established and successful star.
Beverly Hills 90210
When the great and consummate master of TV series Aaron Spelling invited her to his project "Beverly Hills 90210", Doherty took it somehow casually, as something in itself for granted.
Meanwhile, this was the beginning of her dizzying takeoff. The girl got money, recognition, fans …
But fame played a bad joke on Shannen.
In an effort to abstract from the image of the modest Brenda, the actress led a more than riotous life. Constant scandals, drunk driving, fights - all this has become associated with the image of Doherty. She constantly came to the shooting with a delay, and, at times, and drunk.
Parents had to blush watching the antics of their matured and blossoming daughter.
“Colleagues in the shop” did not hide their indignation, and the director could hardly restrain himself not to show her the door.
He did not fire her just because fans of the soul doted in Brenda. This image was key in the series. It could not be removed just like that, imperceptibly. This would not affect the picture in the best way. Therefore, Spelling, gritting his teeth, endured all the eccentric actions of the presumptuous actress.
But the patience of any person has its limits, beyond which Doherty safely went.
Unable to endure Shannen's quarrelsome nature any longer, Spelling said goodbye to her, sincerely hoping that they would not see each other again.
But fate was destined to dispose of otherwise. After some time, they met again.
After 7 years, Spelling again invited Shannen in the series "Charmed" for the role of the older witch Prue.
It would seem that the past was left behind, Doherty could be rehabilitated in the eyes of the director. But it was not there. The girl quarreled with her colleague Alice Milano, the relationship was upset so much that Shannen had to leave.
The press did not stop talking that Doherty was simply jealous of Milano's fame.
Indeed, according to fans' reviews, Alice was the leader of the audience's sympathy.
And Shannen is not used to supporting roles. She couldn't put up with her colleague's dizzying success. Fights often broke out right on the set.
Personal life
Shannen has been married three times. The first two marriages were fleeting and broke up, not lasting even a year. But they added life experience to the piggy bank.
The third time, Doherty was lucky. The famous photographer Kurt Isvarenko became her chosen one. He surrounded the actress with that care, love and tenderness that she always dreamed of.
Now Shannen is struggling with a terrible disease - breast cancer. The worst is left behind. At the moment, the disease has receded, giving way to remission.
Husband, mom, girlfriends and fans support the actress, not letting her give up.
Shannen began a new streak in her life, which made her think and rethink many things and actions.
After all, illness is always given to a person for a reason, but for something, so that he understands something.
Despite his hot temper, Shannen is not an evil person at all. She actively supports the animal shelter, taking the most active part in its life.
And youth - it is for that and youth, to make mistakes and become a little wiser.
