RIP Shannen Doherty. I met her during the Full House days. She was lovely and had a beautiful smile. Today, I’ll also think about the women in my life who all succumbed to cancer – my mom, my sister, Sharon and my niece, Shannon, who all were so strong and so beautiful.… pic.twitter.com/LEWLPCKnbK
Heartbreaking to know Shannen Doherty has passed away. She was such a sweet girl, a bright light and amazing talent. She was genuine, funny and smart. I'll never forget the years of hanging out with her in the early to mid 80's at The Youth In Film Awards. I found this picture… pic.twitter.com/FX2LwGGeXW
