Charmed Birthdays

Considering that the whole Shannen VS Alyssa feud was just spin from Kernus and Spelling.

[Trinity]

Yeah it was. I'm sure they had one little fight on set that was ma a bigger deal to cover producers drama.

Shannen and Alyssa admitted to chatting privately via DM. But I'd be over the moon to see a photo of them together today, so they can shut up the media and fans who keep bringing up that stupid feud over and over, that it makes me roll my eyes.

[Tim]

Agreed. 

Shannen has no time for this nonsense anymore.

[Trinity]

Exactly. I just wish the media and some fans could move on.

I wonder what film Shannen is filming in Vancouver atm, and for that matter Alyssa?

[Tim]

Does Netflix film in Vancouver?  Alyssa has been busy with them for some time now.

Good question, I'd imagine so.

Looking at her IMDB profile, she is shooting the tv mini series the Now in Vancouver. So that answers that question.

[Tim]

Alyssa has found steady work on Netflix.

And it's good that Shannen can still work, despite her condition.

[Trinity]

It really is nice to see. These two always have had steady work before and after Charmed. Good for them.

[Tim]

Of course, both Shannen and Alyssa were well known prior to Charmed.

[Melinda Halliwell]

They were yes although I never saw Beverley Hill 90210 or Who's The Boss of course.

[Squad 51]

I did but also remember Shannen from "Little House in the Prairie". Yes, they were well known before Charmed.

[Tim]

Holly was less known.

HAPPY 51ST BIRTHDAY SHANNEN!

Shannen Doherty has had an incredible career on both TV and film, with starring roles on Beverly Hills, 90210, Heathers, Charmed, and more. In honor of the actress' 51st birthday on April 12, take a look back at her life.

Shannen Doherty was born in Memphis, Tennessee, on April 12, 1971. She began acting at a young age, having guest spots on TV series including Voyagers! and Father Murphy. She later scored her first big role at the age of 11 on Little House on the Prairie.



Doherty played Jenny Wilder on the final season of Little House on the Prairie before its eventual cancelation in 1983. Though she was only in a few episodes, it helped put her on the map as an actress.



In 1985, Doherty began branching out into film as she starred in the teen movie comedy Girls Just Want to Have Fun alongside Helen Hunt and Sarah Jessica Parker.

A year later, Doherty was cast as one of the leads on the family drama Our House. The show ran from 1986 to 1988 and earned Doherty several award nominations.

In 1989, Doherty had a starring role in the black comedy Heathers, where she played Heather Duke alongside Winona Ryder and Christian Slater. The film was one of Doherty's first major motion picture roles and has since become a cult classic, being adapted into a musical and short-lived TV series.

In 1990, Doherty starred as Brenda Walsh on the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210. As the show became a global pop culture phenomenon, Doherty's role helped her gain critical acclaim and several award nominations. She played the character for four seasons before leaving the show in 1994.

After working with Aaron Spelling on Beverly Hills, 90210, Doherty reunited with the producer yet again as she was cast in The WB's Charmed series about a trio of sisters who are witches. Doherty eventually left the series at the end of season 3, resulting in her character's death.

In 2008, Doherty returned to her Beverly Hills, 90210 roots as she appeared on the show's The CW spinoff, 90210. She reprised her role as Brenda Walsh for a handful of episodes in season 1 and 2 alongside returning cast members Jennie Garth and Tori Spelling as well as new additions Shenae Grimes and Tristan Wilds.

In 2010, Doherty competed on season 10 of Dancing With the Stars alongside partner Mark Ballas. The couple made it to week 2 before being eliminated.

Doherty went back to Beverly Hills once again as she appeared on Fox's BH90210 series in 2019. Unlike previous spinoffs, the show focused on the original cast members of Beverly Hills, 90210 — Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, Tori Spelling, and Doherty — as they played heightened versions of themselves.

Following her previous marriages to Ashley Hamilton and Rick Salomon, Doherty found love with photographer Kurt Iswarienko. In October 2011, the couple tied the knot in Malibu.

In 2015, Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer, telling PEOPLE at the time, "I am continuing to eat right, exercise and stay very positive about my life. I am thankful to my family, friends and doctors for their support and, of course, my fans who have stood by me."

Though she went into remission in 2017, she announced in 2020 that her cancer had returned and she was currently in stage 4. Throughout her treatments, she has been open and candid with fans about her cancer journey.

"I want people to not hear stage IV cancer and think of the person that is gray and falling over and they can't move and they're going into hospice and they can't work," she told Sarah Michelle Gellar for an Entertainment Tonight interview in 2020. "You get written off so quickly, even though you're vital and healthy and happy and wanting to go out there and work. So, I'm sharing in order to hopefully give a different face to all of this."

Amid her cancer battle, Doherty has continued acting, including appearing in several TV movies as well as a small role on Riverdale season 4 for the special tribute episode to Luke Perry, following his death in 2019. Most recently, she starred in the 2021 action film titled Fortress alongside Bruce Willis and Chad Michael Murray.

Yeah, she's had a long career.

Jennifer Rhodes, AKA Grams, was also in Heathers. She played the mother of Winona Ryder's character. Don't think she and Shannen had any scenes together.
