RIP Shannen Doherty: Hollywood Reacts To The Death Of The Beverly Hills, 90210 Star

As a gamer and someone who has followed the entertainment industry for years, I’m deeply saddened by the news of Shannen Doherty’s passing. Her impact on television and pop culture, particularly through her roles in “Beverly Hills, 90210” and “Charmed,” was significant and left a lasting impression on many of us.

Her peers in the entertainment industry have been expressing their grief and shock on social media platforms. Although Doherty bravely shared her battle with breast cancer since 2015, her tragic demise still came as a surprise to many of us who admired her strength and resilience throughout her journey.

In a similar tribute, TV writer Gennefer Gross paid homage to Doherty and Luke Perry, referring to their characters from ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’. She wrote, ‘I hope Dylan and Brenda are enjoying a post-surf milkshake at the Peach Pit in the sky. Rest in peace, Shannen Doherty.’ Eric West, who starred with Doherty in ‘Fortress’, also expressed his condolences on social media. ‘My heart is broken. It was an honor to meet Shannen Doherty while filming Fortess a few years ago. She brought warmth and positivity to the set. May she rest peacefully,’ West posted.”

“Dave Coulier, known for his role in ‘Full House,’ expressed his grief over the passing of Shannen Doherty. He recalled their encounters during the show’s production and described her as kind and radiant.

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: “Shannen and I had our ups and downs, but beneath it all, I held immense respect and admiration for her. She was an exceptional actress with a huge fan base, and her absence leaves a gaping hole in the entertainment industry. My thoughts go out to everyone who cherished her.”

As a gamer, I can’t help but be deeply saddened by the news of Shannen Doherty’s passing. Her impact on my life was significant, and I still remember how she bravely shared her breast cancer journey with the world years ago. When I received my own diagnosis, I was inspired by her courage and reached out to her. To my surprise, we formed an instant connection. It was surreal because growing up, watching “90210” featuring her was a huge part of my childhood.

Munn shared how greatly Doherty had stood by her side during her own more advanced battle with breast cancer, which she announced in March. Impressively, Doherty continued to offer support and comfort even as she became aware of the severity of Munn’s health condition towards the end of her life. This selfless act left a deep impression on Munn, who expressed admiration for Doherty’s composure and bravery.

Reflecting on the text message she sent me a few months back, Shannen asked about my well-being and if there was anything she could do for me. In typical selfless fashion, she extended her support despite being in the advanced stages of battling a terrible illness.
