Shannen Doherty

Shannen posed for a nine page pictorial in the December 2003 issue of Playboy magazine. In 2004, she became the first African-American actress to win the "Best Leading Actress" Award at the Tony Awards, winning for her role in the play, A Raisin in the Sun. Her private life has also been turbulent, with a six month marriage to Ashley Hamilton, son of George Hamilton. Her sister is actress and dancer Debbie Allen. She is now a regular on the series North Shore, a return to her prime-time soap roots. She was previously married to television sportscaster Ahmad Rashad from 1985 to 2001. She hosted Scare Tactics on the Sci Fi channel until the 2004 season. She is a graduate of Howard University and later taught drama there.

She left that series in 2001, after three years, claiming that her best work was being wasted on a show "for 12-year olds" (though rumors persist that her departure was against her will, due to a feud with costar Alyssa Milano). With her big break on the ABC soap opera, One Life to Live, she is most famous for her role as Bill Cosby's wife and the Huxtable family matriarch on the television show, The Cosby Show. Although her departure from the series was reportedly acrimonious, it didn't stop Spelling from casting her in another series, Charmed. Phylicia Rashad (born Phylicia Ayers-Allen on June 19, 1948 in Houston, Texas) is an African-American activist and actress. She starred on the Aaron Spelling-produced Beverly Hills 90210 for four years, from 1990 to 1994. She was then cast as the oldest Witherspoon sibling, Kris, on the family drama Our House, which ran from 1986 to 1988.

She first came to notice when she was cast as Jenny Wilder in Little House on the Prairie, which she followed up with roles in films such as Heathers. Shannen Maria Doherty (born Easter Monday, April 12, 1971) is an American television actress, best known for her work as Brenda Walsh in Beverly Hills 90210.
