Fuck cancer.
What a weekend. We lost Dr. Ruth, Richard Simmons, now Shannen Doherty in less than two days. RIP
The Secret of NIMH
Is this some sort of historic science documentary about batteries?
This better be a joke. That movie is a masterpiece
For those that don’t know, it’s Not In My Hood, the original inspiration for John Wick starring Shannon and Chris Tucker
It wasn't a joke. I don't know the movie they're referring to.
It's a fantastic 2D animated movie
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A statement from her publicist Leslie Sloane, cited by People magazine, said: “It is with a heavy heart that I confirm the passing of actress Shannen Doherty.
In 2020, she said that her diagnosis was then terminal, calling it “a bitter pill to swallow” in a Good Morning America interview.
In June 2023, Doherty shared an Instagram post that revealed news that cancer had spread to her brain alongside a video of her receiving treatment.
Two years later, Doherty found success as Brenda Walsh in hit teen drama Beverly Hills 90210, which averaged over 21 million viewers by its fourth season.
Her film roles included Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back for the film-maker Kevin Smith.
Doherty was often positioned as a troublemaker in the press, with People magazine once referring to her the “iconic Hollywood bad girl of the 90s”.
The original article contains 527 words, the summary contains 143 words. Saved 73%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Well at least she won't have to live through Civil War 2: Here We Go Again.
