So sad. She had a really rough go of it. Sort of got pigeonholed, as did all the 90210 actors, but she proved in Heathers she had real chops. RIP.

My obligatory "Heathers was awesome!" post.

No offense, but that writer has a serious case of the Woulds ...

But it was not until 1989, when Doherty, with her dark mane and determined gaze, would arrive, when she appeared alongside Winona Ryder as the unexpectedly formidable Heather Duke in the dark comedy Heathers. That film, a satirical spoof of teen angst about a band of mean girls, would introduce audiences to the persona Doherty would become known for: outwardly tough woman concealing an inner wound.

She and I did not get along. At all.

More than a fair bit of that was me being a train wreck when trying relate to other people back then. There was also the matter of her being antagonistic to virtually everyone. It wasn’t until I found out she was a freelance writer a few years ago and read some of her more autobiographical articles that I realized what I took to be snotty arrogance was actually grounded in her having grown up with some rough **** in her life.

She was quoting Doherty from an old interview but this actually kind of sums up the author as well.

“I'm not saying I don't have my moments of bitchiness, because everybody has them,” she said. “But it's never for no reason."

Chalk up another one in the American health insurance system's body count, perhaps.

Despite Shannen’s off screen issues, she also gave me a case of the wood.

RIP

"Did not visit the doctor regularly in 2014."

How much would an annual exam cost without insurance? A few hundred dollars? Why not sign up for Obamacare for a year to fill the gap, since by losing coverage she qualified for a special exemption outside the enrollment period?

I didn't realize she was podcasting.

Or COBRA between gigs?
