The Us Interview: Shannen Doherty (part 1)

Brawling brat or maligned innocent? Amid a stinging backlash, the '90210' actress defends her reputation.

THOSE WHO WANT TO believe the worst about TV star Shannen Doherey might enjoy her split-second screen debut in 1982's Night Shift when she brained a nebbishy Henry Winkler with a box of cookies. But sho much brouhaha has surrounded the Memphis-born actress of late that most seem to forget her existence pre-Beverly Hills, 90210. By the time the former child actress landed at the Fox network, she'd already wound her way through television series like Little House: A New Beginning and Our House as well as several film roles, including Heathers. In it, Doherty seemed to be polishing up her signature moves — the imperial flounciness, the unexpected flashes of vulnerability, the narrowing of her hazel eyes to show when she is seriously ticked off. All these mannerisms would later resurface in her breakthrough role as Brenda Walsh on Beverly Hills, 90210.

At this point, everyone knows that Brenda and her cute twin brother, Brandon (Jason Priestley), started out as 90210’s moral center, two do-gooding émigrés from Minneapolis, drifting through a high school hallway full of “indulged brats and future Zsa Zsas,” as the Los Angeles Tinies put it. But the centrifugal force of every evening soap is a dark-hearted character. And somewhere along the way, the baton was passed to Doherty.

Soon enough, Brenda’s perky mood had curdled (although ar least one 90210 writer would suggest that it wasn’t the dialogue, but the flinty backspin Doherty put on her lines). Lately, television watchers have wearied of watching her behave like a sourpuss. So much so that two enterprising, young pop-culture hounds tapped into the zeitgeist and published an underground antifanzine, the I Hate Brenda Newsletter, consisting mostly of semiasthentic-sounding gossip about Doherty's real-life excesses.

The American public seers to forgive ungovernable male stars, but has lite tolance for obstreperous women; Roseanne Arnold, Cher and Cybill Shepherd could have told Doherty that. And almost from the very beginning, word had filtered back from the 90210 set that Doherty was an unapologetic headache — demanding and prone to temperamental outbursts. Offstage, her reviews weren't much beter. There was her last-minute walk from the 1992 Emmys, for which Emmy producer and director Walter Miller crowned her “a colossal pain in the ass".

Some flip remarks of hers on The Dennis Miller Show cost her months’ worth of monologue put-downs. Last summer, those many liberals among her 90210 following her were aghast to discover her, hand over heart, leading the Pledge of Allegiance at the Republican National Convention. She followed that with a well-publicized fracas involving Bonita Money, an sping actress, at a Los Angeles nightclub. Even Doerty wasn't surprised when the utterance of her name at the 1992 Billboard Music Awards elicited boos from the audience.

Yes, it’s true that Brenda wins back her whispery-voiced ex-boyfriend Dylan (Luke Perry). Yet the word on the Fox lot was that Aaron Spelling, whose company produces the show, was fed up with Doherty, thinking of terminating her contract or at lease exiling Brenda to a far-off college. When contacted, no one, not Spelling, not the show's producers, not any of Doherty’s 90210 costars, were available to defend her.

What seemed most conspicuously missing from the newspaper accounts was the twenty-one-year-old's assessment of her deteriorating state of affairs. So the agreement was we'd lay out the reports – some believable, some almost mythically overripened – and let Doherty tell her side of the story. We met at a photographer's studio in West Los Angeles, where Doherty lived up to her end of the deal. She answered every single question forthrightly and without a trace of self-pitty, chain-smoking and looking far too young to be so reviled.

Why do you suppose that people want to assume you're a bitch?

I don't know. I think one of the main problems is that my character searced off very sweet and gradually she became sappy. She takes everything too seriously and feels like she's being f---ed over all the time. [People] aren't separating Shannen and Brenda Walsh. They hate the character, so they automatically hate me.

Let's talk about the "Billboard" awards. Did you have any premonition that the crowd would not be with you?

Yeah, I warned all my representatives that I shouldn't do it. But they said, "You're already committed, you can’t back out because it will look like the Emmys. They'll blow it up into a big thing." So five minutes before I went on, I looked at my manager and said, "I'm going to get booed. I know it's going to happen. And you're responsible, because you put me on here."

What happened backstage? I was very, very upset. | was crying, saying, "I can’t believe you put me out there." I mean, it was horrible. I've never been more hurt in my entire life. Then this guy that was hanging out with Arrested Development came over to me and said, “Let me tell you something: You'll dic, they'll die, we all die sometime and the world keeps on spinning. They don't know you. You're talented, you're beautiful, you're a great girl. So just forget it."

Why do you think the audience booed you?

Everybody thinks that I punched some girl at a bar.

Did you? No.

You're referring to the December incident with Bonita Money. What happened?

To cut to the chase, there was tension between my table from the beginning, because they wanted to sit where I was sitting and the owner of the club had sat me there. My friend – I'd rather not give his name, but it wasn't [90210 costar] Brian Austin Green – stepped on a man's foot and apologized, and [the man] didn't really accepted his apology. Then Brian thought my friend said that he had stepped on this man's foot and Brian apologized. By that time we were standing in front of their table, as we were leaving the club, I bent down and said, "Excuse me, what's going on?" This man looked at me and said, "I don't like you, that's what's going on." I saud, "All right," and tried to pull away, but he grabbed my arm. My friend had my other arm and was trying to pull me away. I started to stand up to leave, and out of nowhere, Bonita Money, who I've never laid eyes on – never had any talk with at all – just hit me in my left cheek. Just hit me right here.

"It's ridiculous that somebody can be so attention-starved that they can hit a celebrity [and] get away with it..."

Did she slap you or did she punch you?

Kind of closed fist. I just looked at her, and I was crying. My friend and brian grabbed me, took me into the bar. Security was called. The police arested her, took her downstairs. they asked me if I wanted to file charges, I said yes. When they told her, sge said, "Well, I'm pressing charges, too".

[Bonita Money responds, in part: "I think most of that's right up until the point of [my friend's] grabbing her. [He] never grabbed her. Money also claims she did not hit Doherty and adds, "She just kind of grabbed me. Then I grabbed her and threw her away from the table."]

It's ridiculous that somebody in this world, somebody in L.A., can be so attention-starved that they can hot a celebrity, get away with it, and get so much publicity. She did A Current Affair, she did Howard Stern... I find it upsetting that all these people actually let her on their shows. We went to [the hearing], and the [hearing officer] couldn't really male a clear-cut decision, so she said that all the charges were dropped against both parties. It's over.

Do you feel satisfied with the outcome?

No, I'm not satisfied. It says something about our judicial system, I think. The D. A.'s office should press charges against her. She got free publicity at my expense and made me look very bad... It did a lot of damage to me. I had advertising companies drop me. I lost money.

Do you have a bodyguard?

I do now.

How has that affected your life?

It's a major drag not to be able to go out and just hang with your friends and stuff. But I guess fornow I have to.

Is the lesson, then, that it is sometimes better to back down?

I wasn0t really raised that way, that's probably my problem. I was raised to stand up for myself, if I feel I'm in the right. Maybe it would have been best if I'd just gone home with my swollen cheek... She has a mean left hook.

Hi there! I'm looking to play a couple of my characters in an older verse, but I've been having trouble settling on faces I think might fit for them in their late thirties/early forties. The characters in question currently have the faces of Danielle Campbell (played as a twenty-four year old) and Andrew Garfield (played as a twenty-seven year old), and any suggestions you could offer up for both or even just one at a time would be much appreciated. Thanks so much in advance!

Maimie McCoy (1980) 

Zooey Deschanel (1980) 

Antje Traue (1981) 

Lauren Cohan (1982) 

Emily Blunt (1983) 

Andrew Garfield - Andrew is currently 35 so you could use his most recent resources!

Thankfully, Michael Keaton is on hand as Bill, bursting upon the movie scene. With Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton (he is great), Shelley Long.Get the movie: h. A nebbish of a morgue attendant gets shunted back to the night shift where. Mix this film's sense of freedom with Happy Days wholesomeness, and you have the best of Howard, Ganz, and Mandel's collaborations - Parenthood. One of the best scenes from a very funny 1982 movie. As seemingly "adult" as this film pretends to be, it is at heart the work of nice young boys who are enjoying the rush of talking dirty. His explanation of the root meaning of "prostitution" is a great example of schoolyard comedy. Costner as a frat boy in the morgue party scene (a non-speaking bit part), and Doherty plays a 'Blue Bell' (liken to a 'Girl Scout') in an elevator scene (with one line). Early screen roles for Kevin Costner and Shannen Doherty. Michael Keaton, in his first film role, is the spark of energy that allows them to break free he is like the older kid at school who teaches the younger kids the dirty words. First major Hollywood studio picture directed by Ron Howard. Winkler's character, who grows from a put-upon quiet "good" guy into an assertive man of action, feels like a symbol for the Happy Days alumni. Winkler plays a character as far away from Fonzie as one could imagine, while the writers pepper the material with jokes they could never have dreamed of getting away with on the small screen. After the death of their mother, two destitute brothers rob a service station in an attempt to pay off the mortgage on. Watch it on Prime Video, Redbox., Apple TV.

#Night shift movie tv#

Four of the brain trusts behind the genial situation comedy Happy Days, head writers Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, director Ron Howard and lead actor Henry Winkler declared their freedom from their past with this adult-themed comedy about morgue workers who become pimps. Making Night Shift, his first major film as director after a handful of TV and exploitation movies, Howard cast his Happy Days co-star Henry Winkler as. A meek man whose calm life takes a hectic and hilarious turn when hes talked into running a call-girl service during his night shift at the city morgue. Night Shift, a comedy movie starring Henry Winkler, Michael Keaton, and Shelley Long is available to stream now. If its weird, wacky or even normal, you bet theres a comedy movie about it somewhere. Young kids swear because doing something you are not supposed to do, something unexpected, usually provides a rush of freedom, the feeling that permeates Night Shift. Theyve gone to outer space, hell, heaven, and everywhere in between.

Shannen Doherty biografia: la carriera ed il cancro

Shannen Doherty biografia: la carriera ed il cancro

Shannen Doherty è una delle attrici più amate in assoluto.

Nell’ultimo periodo purtroppo, la donna sta fronteggiandola dura battaglia contro il tumore al seno. Le condizioni sembrerebbero non migliorare affatto.

Il cancro è arrivato al quarto stadio e Shannen lo ha voluto annunciare pubblicamente. Intervistata dal magazine Elle, l’ex Brenda di Beverly Hills ha dichiarato che presto girerà dei videomessaggi per i suoi cari. Questi ultimi, potranno rivederli tutte le volte che vorranno ricordarla, quando lei ormai sarà morta.

Delle parole che non passano di certo innosservate. Inoltre, ha spiegato che le risulta difficile fare chiarezza sulla sua esistenza, in quanto non sa quanto potrebbe ancora vivere.

Nonostante tutto, la bella Shannen non si arrende ma si rende conto che c’è bisogno di davvero tanta forza. Ecco alcune dichiarazioni in merito:

“Ho provato a fare tesoro di tutti quei piccoli momenti che generalmente le persone non vedono o danno per scontati. Le piccole cose sono magnifiche. Abbiamo un pozzo infinito dentro di noi e si tratta solo di continuare a scavare per trovare la forza per affrontare le difficoltà e in modo da poter vedere tutta la bellezza”.

Shannen Doherty età

La bella attrice statunitense ha 49 anni ed è nata a Memphis il 12 aprile del 1971.

E’ diventata nota al pubblico sin dai primi anni ’80, prendendo parte ad una serie di film e serie tv. Tuttavia, ciò che l’ha portata verso il successo vero e proprio è stato il ruolo di Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210, la famosa serie televisiva andata in onda dal 1990 al 2000.

Non molto dopo, si fece conoscere anche per il ruolo di Prue Halliwell nella serie televisiva Streghe.

Shannen Doherty vita privata

La Doherty ha alle spalle sentimentale abbastanza movimentata.

Infatti, nel 1993 ha sposato Ashley Hamilton ma il loro fu un matrimonio lampo, durato soli sei mesi. Diversi anni dopo, (e più precisamente nel 2002) Shannen è convolata a nozze con Rick Salomon, ma anche in questo caso, si trattò di un amore che finì nel giro di un anno.

L’ultimo matrimonio risale al 2011, anno in cui l’attrice si è sposata a Los Angeles, con il fotografo Kurt Iswarienko.

Shannen non ha figli anche se le sarebbe piaciuto molto: l’impedimento vero e proprio sembrerebbe essere stato la malattia. A tal proposito, ha dichiarato: “Ho sempre voluto dei bambini. Ma non vorrei che fra 10 anni debbano seppellire la madre”.

Shannen filmografia

La vita di Shannen Doherty è ricca di esperienze, sia a livello cinematografico che televisivo.

Con più di 30 anni di carriera alle spalle, la Doherty si può definire una delle attrici più famose del mondo hollywoodiano. A seguire potete trovare gran parte dei suoi film (cinema e poi tv, dagli anni ’80 ad oggi).

August 1992 - Shannen Doherty on the cover of YM (Young & Modern) magazine, by Firooz Zahedi.

Brunette bombshell Shannen Doherty – How she got it all - Part 1.

The got-it-all Girl

BY DARIO SCARDAPANE The real Shannen Doherty isn't anything like guy-magnet Brenda Walsh. In fact, Shannen didn't even snag a date for her high school prom. But now she's got it all – a mega-hit TV show, major bucks, a great-looking fiancé and the world at her feet. We got the girl who's got it all to tell all.

Shannen Doherty arrives at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a brand-new Mercedes 500 SL convertible – black, of course. Next to her, in the leather seat, sits her 26-year-old fiancé, Chris Foufas, a very wealthy and very good-looking real-estate developer. The valet attendants jump they've seen a lot of star power wheel up this driveway and they know the drill – and Doherty and Foufas receive the ultra-VIP treatment reserved for Hollywood's elite. The car taken care of in grand style, Doherty, dressed in a green silk shirt tucked into faded blue jeans, strides confidently past the smiling doormen into the hotel's sumptuous lobby. Money, cool cars, gorgeous guys. Is there any need to ask the zip code of this hotel? You guessed it. It's 90210. But the tiny (about five-foot-three-inch) brunette who nestles into the booth of the hotel's Polo Lounge is a far cry from Brenda Walsh. For one thing, she's prettier her skin under very light makeup is crystal clear. For another, she's older (21) and a whole lot wiser than her high school TV heroine.

"It's fine to look up to Brenda Walsh," Doherty says, gazing at a menu. "But Shannen Doherty is a different person. Brenda's more insecure, she's not as much of her own person as I am. And I have a career, Brenda doesn't."

Yes, Doherty definitely has a career – a solid body of work that began in 1982 with the TV series Little House: A New Beginning, included a role in the film Heathers, with Christian Slater and Winona Ryder, and landed her on fame's doorstep with the phenomenal success of 90210. Although she attended L.A.'s prestigious Lycée Français (whose previous students include Jodie Foster and Christie Brinkley), all that work left her little time for the joys (or the boys) of high school years. "I wasn't really there," Memphis-born, L.A.-reared Doherty recalls. "I didn't really have friends from that school, 'cause I was on [the TV series] Our House. So I was being tutored after hours, and then I did Heathers, and I took 12th grade at the same time I took 11th grade just to get out of school because I hated it. You know, I guess my problem is that I am not the most social person in the world. I didn't really need the social scene of high school." Nor did Doherty need the attentions of would-be high school sweethearts. "I never dated high school guys when I was young," Doherty says with a smile. "I dated older men 'cause I sort of had a thing, like every girl has a thing, for older men. There was nothing wrong with the guys in high school, but at the time I was a little confused, and I didn't want to add a confused boyfriend to that." All in all, Doherty's teenage years held less luster than does Brenda's heady social whirl on 90210. Even the prom, that peak night of adolescent bliss, was a lot less than it was built up to be.

"I'm not a prom girl. I didn't go to my prom," Doherty says, sipping orange juice. "But my father had a business associate who had a son, and he asked me to go with him to his prom.'

She rolls her eyes as she recalls that enchanted evening. "I went, and I hated it. Hated it. For one thing, I wore this dress that I wore on Our House. It was black, strapless and very, very low cut – unlike any other prom dress there. I don't know, the kids looked at me kind of funny, and I went, 'This is not my scene. I think I'd much rather be at home reading a book.' So I left pretty fast."

Meeting Chris, her fiancé, changed everything. But the two came together under less-than-idyllic conditions. "Oh yeah, we met in a very interesting manner." Doherty chuckles. "Basically I was dating his best friend…. It's not as bad as it sounds. And his best friend turned out to be the biggest jerk in the world. And I broke up with him. Then Chris and I started becoming friends…. We just fell in love." Judging by the size of the diamond on Doherty's finger, this is the Big One, that true love thing. There's been a lot said in the press about the rock set in Doherty's engagement ring – the price, the size – and all the speculation seems more than a little impolite and catty. Let's just say it's big… very big. Six-and-a-half-carats big.

When our waiter arrives, Doherty does something unexpected. Looking at her perfectly svelte form, you'd guess she'd have a nice melon or something bran-like for breakfast. No way, not this girl. Doherty orders a cheeseburger, "extra greasy" with mayonnaise, and a side of fries. She notes my look of astonishment and laughs. "My diet is whatever I want to eat," she chirps. "I have a really high metabolism, and I'm always running around doing something, so I've never watched what I've eaten." But greaseburgers must play hell with that perfect parchment complexion, I say. "Well, my mom runs a facial salon, Vera's Retreat. And my facialist, Melissa, is amazing. I get facials every three weeks. Other than that I go home and wash it, and that's all I do." All right, she can eat whatever she wants and never pick up a pound or a zit. Her fiancé's a babe with bucks, and her television show's a raging success. Is there anything else the girl could want?

"I always want more," she says with a steady look in her eye. "I read something that answered the question, 'Can women have it all?' by saying, 'Nobody can have it all.' And I thought, What a negative attitude, because in my opinion, you can have it all – if you work hard. What's having it all to me? Having it all is having a successful film career. A wonderful marriage. Kids." And although many women find balancing a career and a family a job in itself, Doherty foresees no trouble in that department. “I'm an actress, and I'm here to work. My main goal is to work for the rest of my life. But I find time for Chris and my family. Because when everything is said and done, the acting may not be there, but the relationship will, so that's what you have to work on the hardest."

It's precisely this type of wisdom that separates Doherty from Brenda and most of the young people, fictional or otherwise, living in the environs of 90210. For all the attention, money, cars and fame at Doherty's command, her head seems remarkably clear, downright mature.

Doherty pushes the remnants of her cheeseburger around on her plate. "Well," she says with a trace of wistfulness, "I grew up kind of fast." Which is usually a tried-and-true recipe for disaster. So far, though, the got-it-all girl seems to be beating the odds. Make that obliterating them.
