Childhood and youth
The future actress was born on April 12, 1971 in Memphis in the family of real estate agent Tom Doherty and beauty salon owner Rosa Doherty. The quiet girl Shannen eventually grew into one of the most provocative Hollywood actresses.
6 years after her birth, an event occurred in her life that determined the whole further fate: the girl's parents decided to change quiet city in Tennessee to bustling and attractive Los Angeles.
In the capital of world cinema, young Shannen felt that this was her life, her passion. The first small step towards the "American dream" was the girl's request to enroll her in theater studio. And although Rosa was not delighted with this desire of her daughter, she did not stand in the way.
The acting path began with a huge number of castings. And in 1981, Doherty received a small role in the television series Father Murphy. Shortly after this event, her career begins a meteoric rise. Michael Lendon, the "father" of the teen series "Little House on the Prairie", gives her a bright role, and director Ron Howard unleashed a stream of episodic roles on her projects "Magnum P.I.", "Cagney and Lacey" and " Night shift».
The first career setbacks began shortly after Little House on the Prairie closed in 1983, but Shannen didn't think to get upset. She had already gained fame and believed in a brighter future, while waiting for new bright works. Alas, so far only episodes in the series have shone on her.

On April 12, Shannen Doherty turns 46 years old. The mention of her name makes hearts go cold ex girlfriends, abandoned men and Hollywood directors who had the honor of working with this star. She left a fatal mark everywhere, forcing her victims to spend nerve cells and even, in some cases, sacrifice their careers.
Shannen Doherty, "the greatest of the ten witches in the history of television", was in real life a real disaster for others - friends, colleagues and even relatives. Although none of them could deny that Shannen is very talented and charming.
She grew up in a family of a real estate agent and a beauty salon owner who pampered and cherished her. A sweet and modest little girl was distinguished by a complaisant and gentle character. But in still waters, as they say, there are devils. Time will pass, and Shannen's parents, trembling with horror, will learn from the television news about the adventures of their bitchy daughter.
In the meantime, young Shannen plays in amateur performances, getting used to applause and a little fame. Even then, a spark of ambition lit up in her, a desire to achieve her cherished goal - to become a Hollywood star. Shannen stubbornly goes to television auditions, persistently knocking on the doors of Luck. And finally, Fortune smiled at her: the girl was given a small role in the series Father Murphy. We can say that from that moment a brilliant actor career Doherty. True, there were also small failures on her way, but a strong and strong-willed girl (these qualities future star you can’t take it away!) overcame everything.
glory test

"A young actress who can be both innocent and seductive" - this critical praise for Shannen's participation in the soap opera "Our House" unexpectedly played a positive role in her future fate. Doherty is invited to the film directed by Michael Leiman "The Fatal Game", where she competed with Winona Ryder and Christian Slater.
And then there was a turning point in her life: the "king of the series" Aaron Spelling himself noticed a talented and bright girl. The film maestro offered Shannen the role of Brenda Walsh in the TV series Beverly Hills 90210. This popular youth film will be the pinnacle of acting creativity Doherty. He will bring her fame, money and the title of a star. But popularity will play a bad role in Shannen's life, she will spill like a sweet poison in her soul, which will lead to the most unpleasant consequences. From a "cute girl" she will turn into an unpredictable, scandalous and, frankly, just a crazy star. Not even a week passed without the actress appearing on the pages of the yellow press. Fights, loud quarrels, drunk driving - these actions have become a kind of hobby for Shannen Doherty. She was constantly late for shooting, provoked colleagues. Gritting his teeth and remembering that the audience loves the on-screen Brenda, the "king of the series" tolerated her presence in the series for a long time. But one day Aaron Spelling could not stand it - and pointed to the door. And the star had to make a good face at bad game. She began to claim that she was cramped within the role of Brenda, and therefore was forced to leave the series.
Hate colleagues
Truly life is round like a ball: Aaron Spelling and Shannen Doherty will meet again. And he will again offer her a role in his series "Charmed". Although the venerable director understood that he was taking a big risk. This time, Shannen was entrusted with the image of the elder witch Prue Halliwell. It would seem that all the cards are in her hands - and prove in practice that you are still talented, charming, and left old sins behind. But less than a year later, the set turned into a kind of gladiatorial amphitheatre. Some believed that the growing popularity of Alyssa Milano, who played one of the witch sisters, was the cause of the scandals, while others saw the root of evil in Shannen's relationship with actor Julian McMahon, a participant in the filming. Say, Doherty was terribly jealous of him for Alice. Although, in truth, there were no grounds for such a point of view. However, the initially friendly relationship between Alyssa and Shannen turned into hostility. They almost got into fights sometimes. film set. But most of the blame for what happened lies with Shannen's conscience. Her absurd and unpredictable nature, her passion to turn any little thing into a loud quarrel made Aaron Spelling decide to part with Doherty. This time he showed generosity towards his former favorite: Shannen herself orchestrated the death of her heroine in the TV series Charmed.
Failures in personal life
Kurt Isvarenko is the third official husband of Shannen, with whom she found true happiness
The personal life of the scandalous star somehow did not work out. Perhaps the title of "bad girl" that Hollywood gave her played a role in relationships with men. However, one gets the impression that she treated her chosen ones with some kind of carelessness and ease. And even with a certain contempt mixed with aggression. This, by the way, is evidenced by the case when the ex-fiance of the star actress Dean Factor sued her. He claimed that Shannen once pointed a gun at him threatening to "hire two thugs to beat and rape him."
Shannen's first marriage to actor Ashley Hamilton can be safely called a kind of whim of a single woman and a faint hint of family life. Six months later, the young broke up. And nothing useful, except for disappointment and a little life experience, from this marriage, Doherty did not endure. The second marriage of the actress with producer Rick Salomon was also "lightning fast", it lasted just over six months.
Infertility
Despite the external noisy life, Shannen suffers from loneliness, lack of reliable support. And in order to hide this state, he often goes to great lengths, trying to maintain a reputation as a star bitch. And the real drama of her life lies in the fact that she cannot have children, is deprived of maternal happiness. And if we discard all the tricks of Shannen, the scandalous acts that she often committed out of inertia and ignorance, we must admit that Doherty has a kind and quick-witted heart. At the age of eleven, she opened a shelter for homeless animals. The habit of helping the younger brothers Shannen has not changed even now. Dogs, horses in her house seem to be the most loyal and best friends Shannen. The actress personally helps the animal shelter, that is, she not only finances, but often visits, helps volunteers take care of sick animals, and on her Instagram you will find dozens of posts about finding new owners for abandoned babies. All my unspent maternal love Shannen is ready to give to the unfortunate animals.
Terrible disease
Shannen has always been strong man. And now she has to prove it in the fight against a serious disease - breast cancer. According to her, former manager Tanner Mainsten, who incorrectly issued health insurance, is to blame for the fact that the disease is neglected. And the actress had to sue him. Upon learning of the terrible diagnosis, Shannen was ready to give up. She even said goodbye to her fans on Instagram. But thanks to the care of her mother, husband and friends, Shannen found the strength not only to start the fight against cancer, but also to show the whole world what suffering she has to experience daily. Fans and friends were a little shocked and surprised by the courage of Shannen, who posted a post in which her mother and friend helped the actress say goodbye to her once luxurious hair. After chemotherapy, her hair began to thin and fall out, and Shannen decided to shave her head. She is not afraid to post photos from the hospital during chemotherapy on her page, thanks her loved ones for their support. Currently, Shannen Doherty is courageously fighting the disease. The third husband, photographer Kurt Isvarenko, helps to overcome her, he surrounded Shannen with long-awaited love and care. And we wish the star actress a speedy recovery so that she again pleases the audience with bright roles. Besides, without her extravagant antics the world looks dull and gray...

Shannen Doherty is an American actress whose filmography includes several dozen lines, but most viewers know her from the cult series Charmed, where she played the witch Prue from 1998 to 2001. In early 2015, the actress was diagnosed with breast cancer.Childhood and youth
Shannen Maria Doherty was born on April 12, 1971 in the American city of Memifis, in the family of a banking consultant on mortgage loans and the owner of a beauty salon. In the Doherty family there were Scots, English and Irish, which, apparently, later affected the future actress's cool temper. Although in early childhood the girl was distinguished by a soft and accommodating character, was fond of equestrian sports and adored dogs. 
Everything changed when parents with children (Shannen has an older brother, Sean) moved from provincial Memphis to pretentious Los Angeles. The girl had new friends who invited her to enroll in a theater studio. Parents were not happy with this idea, but Shannen insisted and plunged headlong into a new world for her.
How Shannen Doherty has changed from childhood to 2017
She began to play in amateur performances, quickly got used to the stage and soon felt like a real star. At the age of eleven, the young actress was invited to take part in the TV show Father Murphy. Appearing in just two episodes, the debutante was remembered by the creators of teenage series and soon received new role in the youth multi-part film "Little House on the Prairie".
Career
By the age of nineteen, Doherty managed to star in a dozen TV shows and considered herself a mature, accomplished artist. So when director Aaron Spelling offered her the role of Brenda on Beverly Hills, 90210, she took it for granted. Shannen did not yet know what real popularity was and how it would affect her life. 
Fans did not give the girl a pass, completely identifying the actress with her heroine. This terribly annoyed Shannen, who was the complete opposite of the modest Brenda. To prove this once again, Doherty went into all serious trouble: she was late for shooting, threw wild parties, after which she drove drunk. She infuriated the film crew, provoked scandals, and her name did not leave the pages of the yellow press. The last straw was a frank photo shoot for Playboy magazine, after which Spelling decided to say goodbye to the uncontrollable actress.
True, a few years later he again invited Shannen to the main role in the TV series Charmed, pretending that all the misunderstandings between them were in the past. The series was a success: viewers around the world followed the adventures of the three witch sisters Prue (played by Shannen), Phoebe (Alyssa Milano) and Piper (Holly Marie Combs).
However, Doherty lasted only three seasons: quarrels began with a colleague on the set Alyssa Milano, problems with the law for drunk driving and scandalous articles in the tabloid press. Milano refused to work on the same platform with the brawler. Choosing between Alyssia and Shannen, the producers settled on the first, so the writers had to remove Prue from Charmed. In the story, the witch is killed by the demon Shex, after which her half-sister Paige (Rose McGowan) takes her place.
Doherty tried to pretend that everything happened on her initiative. “I did everything I wanted to do on this show. Now, after three years of work and 66 episodes played, the producers have kindly given me the opportunity to take on other projects, ”she told the press. She later claimed that she could no longer bear Milano's constant presence.
After that, the actress played in several more series, which, alas, could not be compared in popularity with the success of Spelling's soap operas. In 2008, Shannen reappeared in the sequel to Beverly Hills, guest starring in several episodes.
Charmed: The Death of Prue
Shannen Doherty's personal life
The adoration of fans and world fame did not bring Doherty happiness and serenity in his personal life. She married for the first time at the age of 22, to musician and aspiring actor Ashley Hamilton. A year later, they broke up due to constant quarrels and jealousy of the spouse for the frenzied popularity of the actress. The second marriage to Rick Salomon lasted even shorter and was annulled after seven months due to his infidelity with Paris Hilton. 
In 2011, Shannen's father died. She found solace in her marriage to photographer Kurt Isvarenko. He became a reliable support and support for Doherty in all the terrible trials that fate had prepared for her in the future.
