It's been a somber week, Slackers.
The world has seemingly gone crazy, and we lost a true Gen X Icon - Shannen Doherty.
Her career is filled with movies and TV shows that were a part of our childhood into young adulthood - from her early role in Little House on the Prairie, the family drama Our House, the cult classic (and one of my favorites) Heathers, the Gen X primetime soap opera, Beverly Hills 90210, another cult classic in Mallrats, and finally her starring role in Charmed - Shannen Doherty was not only a star, but one of our stars.
After numerous heath issues, including Crohn's disease, it was a second diagnosis of breast cancer that ultimately led to her untimely passing.
Fairly or unfairly, Shannen was often times labeled as difficult to work with, a fact she readily acknowledged, but spent the last months (years really) of her life trying to set the record straight and repairing relationships. That is hard for anyone to face with death approaching, yet she did this with dignity and grace.
Rest in peace, Shannen Doherty.
