Shannen Doherty

Shannen has indeed grown-up; this young vixen at 5'4", and at less than 100 pounds is in tip-top shape. She once remarked, "If God wanted us to be naked all the time, why did he invent sexy lingerie?" She loves wearing jeans and T-shirts. But, when she goes out, she loves looking feminine and very sexy.

Shannen's first professional role was as Drucilla when she guest starred on "Father Murphy". She was just 11 years old at the time, when Micheal Landon viewed this episode and cast her as Jenny Wilder in his series, "Little House, A New Beginning". This was a big break for Shannen, and she then went on to star in the series, "Our House" with Wilford Brimley and Deidre Hall.

Shannen was born April 12, 1971, in Memphis, Tennessee. Shannen always participated in school plays and earned good grades. But, she was also a very solitary child, preferring to be by herself rather than playing with other children. When Shannen was seven, the family moved to Los Angeles, where her father started a West Coast branch of the family transportation business, and Shannen became interested in acting.

Shannen began moving effortlessly between television and film. She starred in the teen comedy, "Girls Just Want to Have Fun", with Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker. In 1989, Shannen starred with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder in the 1989 black comedy "Heathers", which was a big success. In 1990, Shannen got the part of Brenda Walsh in Aaron Spelling's teen drama, "Beverly Hills, 90210". As 90210 and Shannen became more and more popular, her personal life began to spin out of control, and with the help of the tabloids, it was usually very exaggerated.

After four years with "90210", Shannen decided to leave the show, and the tabloids had a field day when they claimed that she was fired. The real truth was that it was a mutual decision between Shannen and Aaron Spelling. After leaving "90210", Shannen kept a low personal profile, but kept on working on other projects such as "Almost Dead" and "Mall Rats".

Rick Salomon (25 January 2002 - 2003) (annulled)

Ashley Hamilton (24 September 1993 - April 1994) (divorced)

Couldn't reach an agreement with the producers of "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) regarding specifics of her participation in the series finale so using edits and digital effects they removed her entirely from the next to last episode retrospective. An hour long special which included virtually every other actor in show's history.

Sentenced to anger-management counseling by the Beverly Hills Municipal Court for an incident that occurred in August 1996; she got into an argument with 22 year old Corey Hanker and smashed a beer bottle on his car window as he tried to drive away from her. [12 September 1997]

In her family, her father Tom, works at a bank; her mother Rosa, is the owner of a beauty parlor; she also has an older brother named Sean; born 1967.

Appeared several times partially nude in Playboy magazine, one image is December 1993, others in safer sex spread in March 1994. Later posed once again on the cover of Playboy in December 2003.

Was removed from the teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) at end of 4th season (March 1994). According to producer Aaron Spelling because of constant conflicts with other cast members and repeatedly late appearances on the set.

Infuriated William Friedkin when she failed to turn up for the first day of shooting Jailbreakers (1994) (TV) in Hollywood. Shannen, as it turned out, had just returned from Italy, where she'd raised hell by turning up late for an interview on a television talk-show. Friedkin's first reaction was to call auditions and look at 12 other actresses to take the 90210-brat's part. But then he decided to stick with Doherty.

Family moved to Los Angeles when she was 7 years old.

In 1992, Shannen was a guest on "Dennis Miller Show, The" (1992). She appeared on the fourth show which meant that host, Dennis Miller, was still in the process of getting used to the talk-show format. Early in the interview, she rudely asked Miller if he was nervous and went on to point out his eyebrow which was twitching nervously. This made headlines the next day and before long, Miller was routinely making an effort to lampoon her on his talk show.

Offered a role in Scream 3 (2000).

While on the set of Blindfold: Acts of Obsession (1994) (TV), she met Judd Nelson and they later became engaged.

Sentenced to either 10 days in jail or 20 days of work-release duty, three years probation, and ordered to pay a $1500 fine for drunk-driving charges. [12 June 2001]

Beat future "Charmed" (1998) co-star Alyssa Milano for the role of Rene in the cult film Mallrats (1995). [1995]

Shannen had her wages garnished by California United Bank when she was on "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) because she wrote nearly $32,000 worth of bad checks.

Has four horses and three dogs.

Goddaughter is named Cooper London, daughter of Jason London.

Still owns a percentage of "Charmed" (1998) even though she left the show.

Dated actor Andrew Levitas [2004].

Her brief marriage to Ashley Hamilton is referenced in Mallrats (1995). Ben Affleck's character in the film is named Shannon Hamilton.

Reunited with ex-husband Rick Salomon after being separated for a year. [2004]
