Shannen Doherty Reflects On Her Youth And Beauty In Posthumous Podcast Appearance; Rose McGowan Pays Tribute
In a posthumous podcast appearance on Monday, July 29, Shannen Doherty reflected on her youthful beauty from Charmed. Rose McGowan paid tribute, expressing that Doherty's loss still feels surreal.
Shannen Doherty appreciated her youth before her untimely passing earlier this month. The actress appeared posthumously on the July 29 episode of the House of Halliwell podcast and revealed she had an epiphany about her physical appearance while rewatching Charmed, which aired in the early 2000s.
“You know what's really interesting about going and rewatching these as a woman is, I was like, ‘God, I was really pretty back then,’” Doherty shared on Monday. She acknowledged how she wasn't even wearing a lot of makeup at the time, but she nonetheless looked radiant, youthful, and thin.
Doherty added that though she enjoyed revisiting her past work, it was the first time she felt a bit sad. “Youth is wasted on the young,” the actress remarked, adding that she would have one hundred percent appreciated her looks if she had them now, in her 50s. The late actress quipped that, although she had lost some weight after her cancer diagnosis, she was still not as skinny as she was back then.
