What Ever Happened to the Cast of Beverly Hills, 90210?

Shannen Doherty played Brenda Walsh, Brandon’s spirited twin sister. Smart, stubborn, and passionate, Brenda quickly became one of 90210’s most talked-about characters — especially during her fiery romance with Dylan McKay. Her mix of vulnerability and confidence helped define the show’s early seasons and made her a ’90s icon.

Before joining 90210, Doherty had already appeared in Little House on the Prairie and Heathers. But it was Brenda that made her a star, sparking both massive fan devotion and constant media attention throughout the show’s early years.
