Shannen Doherty (1971-2024)

She was a Force of Nature

Inside the Beverly Hills, 90210 star's final days as she succumbed to cancer after a nine-year fight.

She was thrilled about her newest project. On July 8, shannen Doherty announced she was joining the Charmed rewatch podcast, The House of Halliwell, alongside Holly Marie Combs, Brian Krause and Drew Fuller, her former co-stars* from the hit '90s series about the witchy Halliwell sisters: "The four of us have a lot of chemistry."

But just days later, she was gone. On July 13, the former child star – who got her big break on the final season of Little House on the Prairie, then became a household name in the hit TV series Beverly Hills, 90210 – died at 53. "She lost her battle with cancer after many years of fighting the disease," her rep said in a statement, adding that when Shannen took her last breaths, "the devoted daughter, sister, aunt and friend was surrounded by her loved ones as well as her dog, Bowie."

The loss of the Heathers star – whose unfairly earned reptutaion for being difficult on set sometimes overshadowed her acting work – sent shock waves through Hollywood. "She was a force of nature," said her 90210 sibling, Jason Priestley, 54. On-screen rival Jennie Garth, 52, praised Shannen as "courageous, passionate, determined and very loving and generous." And Tori Spelling, 51, said Shannen "always stuck up for me" and was "a rebel in an era when most women didn't feel comfortable being strong."

Saying Goodbye

"How do you possibly find the right words to sumup 30 years of friendship?" Shannen's pal of three decades, Sarah Michelle Gellar, wrote in tribute, reflecting the feelings of many.

A Cast in Mourning. Jennie [Garth] calls shannen "one of the strongest people I have ever known."

What she left behind

Shannen and her ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko worked out a divorce settlement one day before her death, Life & Style can exclusively report. she was awarded a Salvador Dalí painting at her $6 million Malibu mansion. (She owed $3 million on the mortgage.) She was also awarded several bank and retirement accounts, her SAG producers pension plan, and allrights to her production company. She was able to keep all of her premarital and post-separation earnings, compensation and accumulations, which included all of her past and future residuals from 90210 and Charmed. It was also revealed in court docs that shannen was earning $21,000 a month before she died.

In the final months of her life, shannen shared, with her usual brutal honesty, her last wishes, inclusing that she wanted the guest list for her memorial to be on the "shorter" side, since there are " a lotof people... I don't want there. I want my funeral to be like a love fest."
