Shannen Doherty (Magic) has a successful career, but along with that comes noisy marriage drama and attitude scandals with co-stars.
The news of actress Shannen Doherty’s death at the age of 53 has left audiences around the world in deep mourning. The star of the movie “Magic” passed away on July 13 after a 9-year battle with breast cancer. The actress had a successful career, but along with that came noisy marital dramas and scandals about her attitude towards co-stars.
Stormy childhood, acting at the age of 10 to support the whole family
Shannen Doherty was born in 1971 into a middle-class family in Memphis, Tennessee, in the southern United States. Her mother is a beauty salon owner and her father is a real estate consultant. The actress has a brother who is 4 years older than her.
The Doherty family moved to Beverly Hills, Los Angeles when Shannen was 7 years old. With her pretty and smart appearance, she received many invitations to act in movies. However, Shannen only really accepted the offer after a major family incident. Within 1 year, she faced the risk of losing both her parents. Shannen’s mother had a brain aneurysm, and her father had a stroke due to a cerebral vascular accident. The hospital bills caused the family to fall into poverty.

Her role in the classic film Little House on the Prairie
Shannen Doherty is busy filming but has not neglected her studies. The actress attended middle and high school at the private French school Le Lycee Francais in Los Angeles (where Jodie Foster attended). She was an exemplary student at the school, graduating with a perfect score of 4/4. However, she did not go to college to focus on acting. It was not until 2011 that the actress enrolled in a distance learning bachelor’s degree in Contemporary Liberal Arts at Poison Ivy League University.

A brilliant career but quickly faded because of a series of scandals about “inconsistent” attitudes
In the 1980s and 1990s, Shannen Doherty was a rising star. Her long-running roles in the TV series Little House on the Prairie and Our House earned Shannen Doherty multiple nominations at the Young Artist Award. She moved to the big screen with the 1989 film Heathers . The film and Shannen’s performance were highly appreciated by experts. Heathers was considered to be dramatic and reflected the negative reality of American high schools, and was considered the Mean Girls or Gossip Girls of the 1980s.

By 1990, Shannen Doherty continued to shine with her role in the TV series Beverly Hills, 90210. However, by this time, the actress’s bad side was gradually revealed. On set, she was often late and had an uncooperative attitude, quarreling with her co-stars. Many actors complained and refused to act together, so the producer was forced to remove Shannen Doherty’s character.
Shannen Doherty was fired from Beverly Hills, 90210 due to her “insolent” attitude on set.
By 1998, the actress had made a spectacular comeback with the role of the powerful elder sister Prue Halliwell in Charmed . Charmed is a movie that captivated the entire 8X and 9X generations. But after being famous for a short time, Shannen Doherty “returned to her old ways”. With such a solid foundation, the actress would have been more successful if she had not offended the film crew. The actress had conflicts and always expressed a “contradictory” attitude towards her co-star Alyssa Milano.
The situation was so serious that in season 3, Alyssa Milano had to speak up and demand that the producers fire Shannen Doherty, and the character Prue also died at the end of the season (partly because Shannen Doherty quit). Shannen Doherty’s reputation also went downhill from here. She acted in many movies but no longer made an impression like before.

But once again she was cut from the role because of her bad attitude.
Breast cancer and marriage drama engulf life
In her personal life, Shannen Doherty has been married three times. She had two short-lived marriages with Ashley Hamilton (1993-1994) and Rick Salomon (2002-2003). It was not until her third husband, Kurt Iswarienko , that Shannen Doherty had a lavish wedding and this marriage also “lasted” for 11 years (2011-2022).
Shannen Doherty had a lavish wedding with her third husband in 2011.
However, this marriage was also associated with the biggest event in the actress’s life, which was the terrible cancer. In 2015, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The actress asked herself many times: “Why me? Why not me? Who else deserves this? None of us deserve it.” After treatment, the Magic beauty’s condition declined in 2017. Kurt Iswarienko was the one who always accompanied Shannen Doherty, helping her have more motivation to overcome the most difficult times.
Sadly, in the winter of 2019, Shannen received the devastating news that the cancer had returned, spread further, and was now at stage 4 metastasis. Despite this, she continued to star in Fortress and BH90210 , the spin-off series of Beverly Hills, 90210.
The image of Shannen Doherty emaciated on the hospital bed makes the public feel sorry
By 2023, the actress revealed that her cancer had metastasized to her brain, and filed for divorce from her photographer husband Kurt Iswarienko. The Magic Beauty has been married three times but has no children, and she confided that she did not want her young child to have to bury her mother.
The last time Shannen Doherty’s name caused a stir was last June. The actress accused her ex-husband Kurt Iswarienko of not being transparent about his finances and just wanted her to die soon so he wouldn’t have to pay alimony.
Since 2022, Kurt Iswarienko has proposed a divorce settlement, but the actress has refused because he “avoids financial issues in the marriage”. The Magic star asked her ex-husband to pay $15,343 (VND 390 million) in monthly alimony, $9,100 (VND 231 million) in legal fees and $11,800 (VND 300 million) in other expenses.
