The Rest of the Cast Bios

FULL NAME: Shannen Maria Doherty

DATE OF BIRTH: She was born on the 12th April 1971, in Memphis, Tennessee, USA

MARITAL STATUS: Shannen was married to Ashley Hamilton from 24 September 1993 - April 1994 when they got divorced. She also married Rob Weiss.

HEIGHT: 5'3"

OTHER STUFF: (12 September 1997) Sentenced to anger-management counseling by the Beverly Hills Municipal Court for an incident that occurred in August 1996; she got into an argument with 22 year old Corey Hanker and smashed a beer bottle on his car window as he tried to drive away from her.
Her father, Tom, works at a bank and her mother, Rosa, is the owner of a beauty parlour.
Appeared several times partially nude in Playboy magazine, one image is Dec. 1993 others in safer sex spread in March 1994.
Was removed from the teen soap "Beverly Hills, 90210" (1990) at end of 4th season (March 1994). According to producer Aaron Spelling because of constant conflicts with other cast members and repeatedly late appearances on the set.
Infuriated William Friedkin when she failed to turn up for the first day of shooting Jailbreakers (1994) (TV) in Hollywood. Shannon, as it turned out, had just returned from Italy, where she'd raised hell by turning up late for an interview on a television talk-show. Friedkin's first reaction was to call auditions and look at 12 other actresses to take the 90210-brat's part. But then he decided to stick with Doherty.
Family moved to Los Angeles was she was 7 years old
In 1992, Shannen was a guest on "The Dennis Miller Show" (1992). She appeared on the fourth show which meant that host, Miller, was still in the process of getting used to the talk-show format. Early in the interview she rudely asked Miller if he was nervous and went on to point out his eyebrow which was twitching nervously. This made headlines the next day and before long, Miller was routinely making an effort to lampoon her on his talk show.
Reportedly dated Counting Crows frontman Adam F. Duritz
