Actress Shannen Doherty dies at 53, after a nearly decade-long battle with breast cancer
Doherty, who died at 53, almost ten years after she was first diagnosed with breast cancer, was a child actor, most notably on Little House on the Prairie . She was in Heathers in 1988, which is a bright spot on any résumé. But she became an icon as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210 , one of the biggest hits of the early '90s and the spark for many teen soaps that came later. (Image credit: Neilson Barnard)
