and WOW, is she ever a bad actress.
I mean really - she bites the big one.
How on earth did this woman ever achieve any sort of fame. I mean, if she was drop dead gorgeous, perhaps she could get away with having no actual talent to speak of, but really she doesn’t really have that going on.
So what gives?
Did she sleep with Aaron Spelling or something?
alice
Is it the one where she is in a band and her new friend tries to become her?
Aaron Spelling must see something in her, he has given her so many chances, he treats her as if she is as big of a draw as his other darling, Heather Locklear.
Maybe he was taken by how adorable she was in Little House on the Prairie. I did like Charmed though, I actually quit watching a few episodes after Rose McGowan became the third sister.
supposedly she’s the BIGGEST jackass too
mkmiller99: You mean Friends 'Til the End? It seems to be on VH1 all the time. I love the cheese-o-rama music video in the desert with the British phone booth. It’s the first thing I thought of when I saw the thread title too. It’s kind of a shame about Shannen. She was good in Heathers–but who wasn’t good in Heathers?–and I liked Mallrats. I am also a huge Beverly Hills 90210 watcher, so I embraced the badness of Shannen for years.
OH wow! “Friends 'til the End!” I watched that on VH1 too! And the whole time I was watching it, I kept thinking that I couldn’t believe I was watching it. But I kept watching it! And the guy from Party of 5 was in it too. eek!
I admit an affection for Doherty from “Heathers.” No matter what she does, there’s always that movie that kind of gives her a type of legitimacy. At least to me.
Close but not quite. For all her faults (which are many) when she was a younger woman Shannon Doherty had literally perfect natural breasts. Not too big, not too small and absolutely perfectly shaped and formed in every way. They were like pendant diamonds. Spelling has long been fascinated by beautifully shaped breasts (and physical beauty in general) and has cast many a shapely (but otherwise unremarkable) actress into roles that probably could have used someone with more dramatic ability.
Many men, even powerful ones, will forgive a variety of transgressions if the woman has something they like, and he did. Unfortunately (IMO) Spelling’s fascination with this aspect of the female form has infected his daughter’s self perception which culminated with one of the worst breast enhancement jobs in Hollywood History in Tori’s Spelling’s effort to be “daddy’s girl.”
She’s discovered unconscious by some guy, in the middle of a fire. He wakes her up to rescue her and then gets a hunk of burning crap in the gut so then she wakes him up to rescue him and there’s and explosion…
It was really, really sucky.
I supposed I did enjoy Heathers, but that was more because of Christian Slater and Winona Rider.
Shannon Doherty is just - bad.

I was talking about this just the other day. I mean my God, her father’s one of the richest men in Hollywood; he couldn’t find her a plastic surgeon who operated out of an office instead of a back alley?
I’m horrified to realize that, like alice I have seen the same clip of that movie.
