On Facebook, Jennie Garth, who played spoiled rich kid Kelly Taylor in the 1990s–2000s teen drama, also expresses her melancholy. Garth adds that she is “still processing her “tremendous grief over the loss” of the lady she describes as “one of the strongest” persons she has ever met, with some old images of her former co-star.
“Our relationship was sincere and genuine. Despite the fact that we were frequently used as foils for one another, our true relationship was based on respect and affection for one another. She was fearless, fervent, resolute, and incredibly kind and giving.
I will always hold a special place in my heart and in my memories for her, and I will miss her. My heart bleeds for Bowie and her family. The actress who portrayed Andrea Zuckerman in 90210, Gabrielle Cateris, also posted a picture of the sun in the sky on Facebook with the comment, “So young – so sad.” May Shannen rest in peace.

Additionally, Doherty “broke the internet” before it even existed, according to filmmaker Kevin Smith.
“Doherty, who starred in several of his films, including Mallrats and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, singlehandedly shattered the internet in the early 90s, long before any other pop culture figure ‘broke the internet,’” the author says of the actor. “Considering the fact that the internet as we know it now didn’t even exist yet, this is an amazing accomplishment.” He then says, “She’s died way too soon,” echoing what everyone else is thinking.
