Actress Shannen Maria Doherty was born April 12, 1971 in Memphis, Tennessee, to Rosa, a beauty parlor owner, and Tom Doherty, a mortgage consultant. She has Irish Catholic ancestry, though was raised in her mother's Southern Baptist religion.
Doherty came to notice when she was cast as Jenny Wilder in "Little House on the Prairie". She was then cast as the oldest Witherspoon sibling, Kris, on the family drama "Our House", which ran from 1986 to 1988. She then went on to appear in an episode of "Magnum, P.I." Doherty's first major motion picture role was in "Heathers", released in 1989. She went on to star in the Aaron Spelling-produced TV series "Beverly Hills 90210" for four years, from 1990 to 1994, playing the role of Brenda Walsh. There were a few bright spots, however, particularly a lead role in Kevin Smith's 1995 film "Mallrats".
