Shannen Doherty dies – level 3
17-07-2024 07:00
Shannen Doherty, an actress known for her roles in ‘Little House on the Prairie’, ‘Heathers’, and ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’, passed away at 53 after a battle with cancer.
Doherty was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2016, and she openly discussed her experiences, including chemotherapy and hair loss, to raise awareness and inspire others. Despite her illness, she continued to work and remained positive about her condition. Doherty wished to change the perception of stage 4 cancer, emphasizing that people with this diagnosis can still lead fulfilling lives. She had roles in TV shows like ‘Charmed’ and reprised her role as Brenda Walsh in the ‘90210’ spinoffs. Her work ethic and dedication were obvious throughout her career, and she aimed to make an impact beyond her acting roles.
Difficult words: chemotherapy (a type of cancer treatment), reprise (to repeat something or part of something), spinoff (a product based on an existing one), ethic (a set of accepted beliefs).
