Shannen Doherty became a cult figure after a stellar performance in the 1988 movie Heathers, starring alongside Christian Slater and Winona Ryder.
Two years later, Shannen Doherty was cast in the role that she will likely always be remembered for: Brenda Walsh in the FOX network prime-time series Beverly Hills, 90210.
There, she joined Jason Priestly, Luke Perry, Jennie Garth, Tori Spelling, Ian Ziering, and Brian Austin Green (among others) for one of the most iconic television shows of the time period.
After her departure from the show four seasons in, the tabloids labeled the late actress as somewhat of a diva and incapable of getting along with her co-stars.
