Shannen Doherty’s acting career started when she was just 11 years old as Jenny Wilder in Little House on the Prairie. Her career took off from there and she went on to play iconic characters in cult TV shows like 90210 and Charmed. Being constantly on set didn’t stop Doherty from pursuing higher education with the talented actor reportedly taking online classes towards a Liberal Arts degree from the University of Phoenix. Doherty is an outspoken animal rights activist and uses her time to raise awareness for the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society.
