I was surprised to read about the death of actor Shannen Doherty in The NY Times. I think this might be the first for a divamensch CDA - - she was younger than me! Younger than I? She was only 53. She went public with her breast cancer diagnosis in 2015.
I was never a fan of 90210 but there was no escaping its cultural significance for someone my age. I referenced Doherty in my Top Five list this past year, in my Nice Try entry on Sofia Coppola's Priscilla: "I felt like the story could have more juice, more muscle - - simply put, more drama. I’m not asking for a Lifetime TV Movie starring Shannen Doherty. Actually maybe I am!"
I found this startlingly honest Entertainment Tonight piece about Doherty planning her own funeral, in particular the people she does NOT want there. Whoa - - PREACH, sister!
