“When people ask me how it was that she so captured our imagination over so many decades, the answer is because she managed to lead such a well-rounded life. Obviously, she had her phenomenal looks and figure, and her exceptional talent as an actor, but she also had a great passion for living. And she was a good person, and had courage – giving AIDs a public profile, for example, long before others dared. The public has instincts about stars. They have antennae. They know when someone is histrionic or when the causes they support are all an affectation. And they knew Elizabeth Taylor was genuine.” - Francesca Annis

Winona Ryder (for Esquire Magazine, 1992; the third one from photoshoot by Firooz Zahedi, 1992). The photos were made during Bram Stoker’s Dracula era.
Notably, the famous film by Francis Ford Coppola would have never seen the light of day if it wasn’t for Winona Ryder. Ryder came across the script by James V. Hart which she liked immensely and brought it to the attention of Coppola. According to Winona she and Francis liked the same things about the script and Coppola agreed to do the film. Ryder played the role of Mina Murray (Harker)/Elisabeta. “She opened a lot of doors inside me that I didn’t know existed” - said Winona about her role as Mina. The rest is history. Bram Stoker’s Dracula was a box office success and won 3 Oscars (including one for iconic Eiko Ishioka's costumes) - the only film with Dracula in its title to win Oscars.The film had also a considerable impact on popular culture with its various influences on different types of media - from musicals and ballets to books and comics, TV and movies, from Japanese manga Hellsing to series of action-adventure video games Castlevania. While, of course, this effect was caused by the combination of different factors like haunting music and cinematography, lush and sumptuous design, eerie gothic atmosphere, memorable performances of the cast in the film, it's fair to give the special shout-out to Winona. For she was an initiator of this cinema production and made this cultural impact possible.

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 2.
The got-it-all Girl
Shannen’s love life
What she looks for in a guy: “I’m not going to lie like a lot of people and say, ‘I look for a sense of humor and a personality first.” I look for a good-looking guy first.” (laughs)
How she makes her relationship work: “We make time for each other. Because when everything is said and done, the acting may not be there, but the relationship will.”
Why they postponed the wedding: “We were supposed to get married last March 15. You know, it goes from this small, intimate wedding to his parents’ giving me a list to my parents’ giving me a list. Two hundred of each parents’ closest friends are all of a sudden invited to your wedding. I was going bonkers.”
On her wedding dress: “I designed my own wedding dress. It’s a little too ritzy, a Beverly Hills kind of dress. I’m not too psyched about it, so I think I’m going to do it all over. I'll have them make it a more simple dress.”
Wedding of the century: “[So far] we haven’t found a place that’s big enough to hold the wedding in the style we wanted. We wanted it to be very 30s mixed with Italian charm. All Italian food’s going to be served at our wedding. My favorite is Italian food, my absolute fave.”
Shannen speaks
On Brenda: "I think everybody can relate to my character. She's not the perfect girl in that she really flubs up sometimes. She males huge mistakes, like kissing another guy when she has a boyfriend. Whatever it is, I think she's becoming a stronger character."
On her looks: "You know, my eyes are a little off center. Somebody pointed it out to me. I went, 'Really?' So I went home, and I looked in the mirror, and I said, 'Wow, they are.' And you know, to me, it's cool. It maes me different."
Her day: "Usually I have a 6:30 A.M. call So I get up at 4:30... book to work... sit in the make-up chair for an hour." She gets home between 8:30 and 9:00 P.M.
Her hair: "I wash it in the morning and I put conditioner on it, and that's about it."
Tattoos: "I have a proble with being a grandmother and having tattoos. I think they're cool. But they're a little too trendy for me now. It's, like, if I got a tattoo now, I'd be another trendy L.A. person. And that's what I don't want."
Shannen answers your questions
“When you were in high school, did you have any trouble fitting in?” —Ardis Dumalski, 15, Park Ridge, IL “I never fit in. I was unusual looking. Guys in high school didn’t like me. They were into the typical California blonds. I dressed unusual. Kids are ruthless. I got harassed all the time. You want to know the best thing about being in US magazine’s ‘Ten Most Beautiful Women’ section? All those guys who used to say I was so ugly, I can, like, throw this in their face and say, ‘Excuse me, f— you! Your opinion means s— now.’ ”’
“What's it like to become famous so quickly? How has it changed your life?” —Lyndsey Robertson, 14, Argenta, IL “One word: overwhelming. It’s overwhelming and it’s interesting at the same time.”
“How does it feel to be a sex symbol?” —Beth Lemkin, 19, Isla Vista, CA “You never think of yourself as one. To me, I'm not a sex symbol, so I can’t answer that.”
“Do you have any input on 90210’ story lines? If so, what would you like to see happen with Brenda?” —Emily Harris, 19, Hartsdale, NY “Yes. We can give them story-line ideas—sometimes they use them, sometimes they don’t. If we don’t like something in the script, they change it. I'd like to see Brenda become a stronger woman. They should get her out on her own. And have her go through different weird phases.”
“How do you feel about the writers’ having to change Brenda's sexual decisions because of advertising, viewers, parents and other outside pressures?” —Emily Harris, 19, Hartsdale, NY “Unfortunately those people who didn’t like that are not being realistic, because a lot of teenagers are having sex.”
"What do you do when the show is on hiatus?” —Andrea Wilson, 22, Cambridge, MA “I do movies, like I'm doing a movie of the week now. It’s called Obsession. I'm this 24-year-old girl who falls for a guy in his 50s. And he breaks up with me, and I go psycho.”
"A lot of people think you're really conceited. Why do you think this is?” —Ingrid Douglas, 16, Brooklyn, NY “Cause people read too much bad press. Because the only way the Enquirer can sell is to write bad stuff about you. They say nightmare stuff about me all the time. They said Luke and I hate each other. They say that I throw temper tantrums over my wardrobe. Well, if I threw temper tantrums over my wardrobe, why do I still wear such clothes on the show?”
“Do you spend time off the set with the other actors from 90210?" —Suzy Sherman, 18, Framingham, MA “I hang out with Tori, she’s a really good friend of mine. I’ve gone to a club with Jennie, I've hung out with Jason. I don’t hang out with Gab—she’s kind of on a different level from me.”

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."
Shannen at a glance Birthday: April 12, 1971. Sign: Aries. Born: Memphis, TN. Reared: Los Angeles, CA. Siblings: One brother, 24, a law student. Parents: Dad's a banker; Mom runs Vera's Retreat, a facial salon in Beverly Glen, CA. Dogs: Five – two rottweilers, a Great Dane, a golden retriever and a Labrador retriever. Favorite book: The Sun Also Rises. Favorite designers: Anthony Moorcraft, Gigli, Armani, Gaultier, Roberto Robledo, Moschino – and Levi's: "I'm very much a Levi's girl." Favorite bands: The Replacements, the Cure, Cowboy Junkies, the Black Crowes, the Rolling Stones. Favorite movies: The Black Stallion and Breakfast at Tiffany's. Favorite fragrance: Coco.
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.
