Shannen Doherty’s Co-Star Says Late Actress Made ‘Big Plans’ Thinking She Had More Time Left

After nearly a decade of dealing with breast cancer, talented actress Shannen Doherty passed away at the age of 53 on July 13. Although she spoke candidly about expecting the inevitable, Shannen’s death came as a tragic shock to fans and friends, including her co-star Holly Marie Combs.

Eight years after starring in the drama series Charmed together, Holly and Shannen reunited with other castmates Brian Krause and Drew Fuller to launch a new podcast, The House Of Halliwell. The latest episode featured Holly speaking about the big plans Shannen had, thinking she had more time to live.
