Trivia
Couldn't reach an agreement with the producers of "Beverly
Hills, 90210" (1990) regarding specifics of her
participation in the series finale so using edits and
digital effects they removed her entirely from the next
to last episode retrospective. An hour long special
which included virtually every other actor in show's
history.
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. [12 September 1997]
In her family,
her father Tom, works at a bank; her mother Rosa, is
the owner of a beauty parlour; she also has an older
brother named Sean; born 1967.
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.
Offered a
role in Scream 3 (2000).
While on
the set of Blindfold: Acts of Obsession (1994) (TV)
she met Judd Nelson, and they later became engaged.
Sentenced
to either 10 days in jail or 20 days of work-release
duty, three years probation, and ordered to pay a $1500
fine for drunk-driving charges. [12 June 2001]
Beat future
Charmed co-star Alyssa Milano for the role of Rene in
cult film Mallrats. [1995]
Shannen had
her wages garnished by California United Bank when she
was on "90210" because she wrote nearly $32,000
worth of bad checks.
Has four
horses and three dogs.
Goddaughter
is named Cooper Smith.
Still owns
a percentage of "Charmed" even though she
left
Personal quotes
"If God wanted us to be naked, why did he invent
sexy lingerie?"
"Let
me start by saying it wasn't like I walked out one day
and said, 'I quit.' It was a very long process of quitting
the show. Aaron got as fed up with me as I was with
the show, and I think it was because the notoriety was
too much. People were hating the character and I couldn't
take the abuse that came with that. People couldn't
separate me from her and I got sick of people assuming
that I was as naughty and bad as Brenda was. It was
all very hurtful."
" All
my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I
tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend
alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom."
"Have
you ever felt like a phone call that's been disconnected?
"
"It's
better to be the rejecter than the rejectee. "
"To
be a bitch or not to be a bitch, that is the question."
"Your
life changes. Everything has to be done perfectly, and
I didn't follow that. I lived my life as if I wasn't
in the public eye. I thought, 'I'm young. I have the
right to experience new things, and if I want to go
to a bar and get drunk, that's my prerogative."
