Early-life:
Born Shannen Maria Doherty on April 12, 1971, in Memphis, Tennessee. Her father works in a bank, her mother owns a beauty parlour. She has an older brother, Sean. Her family moved to Los Angeles when Shannen was seven. At 10 she made her TV debut in Father Murphy. Despite having a blossoming acting career, she concentrated on her studies, but was regarded as a loner.
Career:
By the time she was 11, Doherty had built up a remarkable CV, with appearances in such projects as The Secret of Nimh, Night Shift, and Little House on the Prairie. She seamlessly moved into more adult roles, thanks to Our House and Heathers, before landing the part of Brenda in Beverly Hills, 90210, which made her name. After four years she left the show under a cloud. She also reportedly upset director William Friedkin while working with him on movie Jailbreakers. TV show Charmed proved a hit in 1998, but she left after allegedly falling out with co-star Alyssa Milano. She returned to the role of Brenda in the 2008 remake of 90210.
Quote:
'I used to have really horrible nightmares where I'd swallowed the remote control to the TV. Don't ask me where that one came from. It was really horrifying.'
Trivia:
In 1999, Doherty announced she suffers from Crohn's disease.
