'''Shannen Maria Doherty''', born April 12, 1971) was an [[American]] [[actress]], producer, author and television director, known for her work as Heather Duke in ''Heathers'' (1989), as Brenda Walsh in ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' (1990–1994) and its spinoff series ''90210'', and as Prue Halliwell in ''Charmed'' (1998–2001).

Doherty was born in Memphis, Tennessee, the daughter of Rosa Elizabeth (née Wright), a beauty parlor owner, and John Thomas Doherty, Jr., a mortgage consultant. She has an older brother (by four years) named Sean. Doherty has [[Irish]] Catholic ancestry on her father's side and English, Scottish, and Northern Irish ancestry on her mother's side.<ref>[http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/w/r/i/L-G-Wright-FL/WEBSITE-0001/UHP-0192.html Doherty family] at Family Tree Maker</ref> She was raised in her mother's Southern Baptist religion.<ref>[http://www.people.com/people/archive/article/0,,20109043,00.html "Nobody's Pussycat"] November 09, 1992, Vol. 38, No. 19, People Magazine</ref>

Doherty had guest spots on TV series including ''Voyagers!'' and ''Father Murphy''. When a casting notice was released in Hollywood for a regular role on the popular ''Little House on the Prairie'', she jumped at the opportunity and eventually won the role of Jenny Wilder at the age of 11, thanks in part to actor/producer '''Michael Landon''' seeing her guest spot on ''Father Murphy'', which he also produced. Doherty stayed in the series until the show's cancellation in 1983.
 
In 1982, Shannen lent her voice talents to the animated film ''The Secret of NIMH''.  In 1985, Doherty starred as Maggie Malene in teen-comedy movie, ''Girls Just Want to Have Fun'', alongside actresses '''Helen Hunt''' and '''Sarah Jessica Parker'''.
 
Doherty was cast as the oldest Witherspoon sibling, Kris, on the family drama ''Our House'', which ran from 1986 to 1988, a role which garnered her several [[Young Artist Award]] nominations. She then went on to appear in an episode of ''Magnum, P.I.'', followed by an early episode of ''Airwolf'' for which she was nominated as 'Best Young Actress: Guest in a Series' at the ''6th Youth in Film Awards'' in 1984. Doherty's first major motion picture role was in ''Heathers'', released in 1989.
 
==Career==
===Early work: 1990—2001===
 
Doherty garnered worldwide attention and fame for her breakout role as '''Brenda Walsh''' in the '''Aaron Spelling'''-produced TV series ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' in 1990. In 1991 and 1992 her portrayal of Brenda earned her a Young Artist Award nomination for Best Young Actress Starring in a Television Series.<ref name="Young Artist Awards">{{cite web|url=http://www.youngartistawards.org/years.htm|title=Annual Young Artist Awards – Past Years|accessdate=2008-07-31}}</ref> In 2004, ''E!'' placed the character at number ten on their list of the ''50 Most Wicked Women of Prime Time''.<ref name="50 Wicked">{{cite web|url=http://www.soapchat.burtonhosting.com/showpost.php?s=1f86e471fb1416a0eabcf261a0b6dcbf&p=1793261&postcount=9|title=E!'s 50 Most Wicked Women of Prime Time|accessdate=2008-08-04|publisher=''soapchat.net''}}</ref> Doherty was removed after the fourth season in 1994 due to reported tension with costars. Her character was written off the show as moving to London to attend school at the Royal Academy for Dramatic Arts.
 
While the character's absence was originally described as only being for a year, she never returned to the original series despite being mentioned from time to time during the show's remaining seasons (although she would reprise the role of Brenda later in the The CW's updated version of the show in 2008). She was replaced with former ''Saved by the Bell'' star [[Tiffani Thiessen]], who played [[Valerie Malone]]. Her career afterward consisted primarily of made-for-TV movies, though she also had a lead role in Kevin Smith's 1995 film ''Mallrats''.
Shannen spent several years trying to achieve the same kind of fame and success that she did on ''Beverly Hills, 90210''. It took a while but, finally in 1998, Spelling again cast her in another of his TV series, ''Charmed'', in which she played lead character [[Prue Halliwell]], the oldest of three sisters who discover they are witches. Doherty also directed a few episodes for the series during the second and third seasons. Doherty left the show in 2001, at the end of the third season, resulting in her character's death and the introduction of the replacement character [[Paige Matthews]], who was portrayed by film actress [[Rose McGowan]]. Reportedly, the reason for her departure was because of again on/off set tensions between Doherty and co-star [[Alyssa Milano]].<ref>{{cite web|title=The Witching Hour|author=Shawna Malcom|url=http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4616/tvg0825.html|publisher=''[[TV Guide]]''|accessdate=2008-09-07|archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20071015022201/http://www.geocities.com/Hollywood/4616/tvg0825.html|archivedate=2007-10-15}}</ref> It was reported that her acrimonious departure from ''[[Charmed]]'' so angered Spelling that he banned her from any future Spelling productions, although this was never confirmed.
 
Doherty was also twice nominated for the Saturn Award, Best Genre TV Actress for her performance in ''Charmed'', in 1999 and 2000 respectively.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001147/awards|title=IMDb: Shannen Doherty – Awards|publisher=[[Internet Movie Database]] |accessdate=2008-07-31}}</ref> In 2007, AOL named Prue Halliwell the 10th greatest witch in television history.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://television.aol.com/photos/tv-witches|title=AOL – Top TV Witches|publisher=''AOL''|accessdate=2008-07-31}}</ref>
 
===Later work: 2002—present===
In 2003, Doherty hosted the [[Syfy|Sci Fi Channel]] candid camera show ''[[Scare Tactics]]'' during its initial season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.scifi.com/scaretactics/|title=Scare Tactics official site|accessdate=2008-07-31|publisher=''[[SCI FI]]''}}</ref> After her stint on ''Scare Tactics'' Doherty, in a return to her prime-time soap roots, starred as a regular on the short-lived TV series ''[[North Shore (TV series)|North Shore]]''. She starred as Alexandra Hudson from 2004–2005. Later in 2005, Doherty was cast in the new TV comedy ''[[Love, Inc. (TV series)|Love Inc.]]'' Although she filmed the original pilot, she was dropped from the show just months before its television debut.{{fact|date=November 2010}}
 
Doherty later went on to produce and star in her own reality show, ''Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty'', which premiered on the [[Oxygen (TV network)|Oxygen network]] in 2006. In the show Doherty goes around doing "dirty work" for members of the public, including dumping boyfriends or telling people what their friends really think about them. The show was canceled after one season due to poor ratings. She also starred in the popular British sitcom ''[[Bo! in the USA]]'', a brain child of [[Leigh Francis]].{{fact|date=November 2010}} In the show, she plays herself, being randomly harassed by [[Avid Merrion]] (Francis), who claims they are lovers. The show aired in October 2006 on the British [[Channel 4]], and she appeared in several episodes. 
 
During 2007, Doherty appeared in two television projects. She first appeared in "Kiss Me Deadly: A Jacob Keane Assignment" for the [[here!]] network, and followed up with a starring role in the holiday film ''[[Christmas Caper]]'' for [[ABC Family]]. That same year Doherty also set up a production company called "No Apologies", in which she planned to develop a TV drama for herself. Later in 2007, Doherty was ranked number 96 on ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]''{{'s}} list of the ''100 Greatest Television Icons''. In 2008, Doherty was featured on the Swedish television show ''[[High Chaparall]]'', appearing in the second episode of the show's fourth season.
 
Also in 2008, after 14 years since her last television appearance as Brenda Walsh, Doherty joined the cast of the ''Beverly Hills, 90210'' [[90210 (TV series)|spin off]] for [[The CW Television Network]], for a reported $40,000–50,000 an episode.<ref name="Tori Pulls Out of 90210 Spinoff">{{cite web|url=http://de.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b23176_sources_confirm_tori_pulls_of_90210.html|title=Sources Confirm: Tori Pulls Out of 90210 Spinoff|accessdate=2008-08-13|publisher=''E! Online''}}</ref> She returned as a guest star, reprising her old role of Brenda Walsh in four of the new series' initial six episodes. Her character, now a successful theater actress and stage director, returned as the guest director of the high school musical.
