Shannen was born and raised in Memphis till seven years old, when her parents moved to Los Angeles, where her mother was owner of a beautyfarm, and her father worked at a bank.
She had several relations, but ended badly. No luck yet, but will be! She is known to have a fast-tempered character. What's wrong with that?
I won't write more of this, because I think it is not relevant for this site. Are we fans or not !
On May 11th, 2001, Aaron Spelling ended her contract with "Charmed". There are many rumours about this, why she left the show. She just wanted to explore new horizons in her life, that's all. I wish her luck with this. For the moment she is asked by producer Francis Ford Coppola to co-produce with him.
A few sentences of Shannen herself :
"I was really convinced that I had a cursed helmet." Shannen had a bike helmet, and while wearing this, she had twice a big accident. At one fall, she had a broken tail bone. Due to this she has to wear for life a back support. So, a little more harder fall, and she would be paralysed forever. I don't think that the helmet was cursed, I think it was blessed, to protect her. So we can continue enjoying her acting !
"My biggest wish is, that whatever job that I do, that this gives me satisfaction everyday. Finally it doesn't count how much money it pays, as long as your happy on your job, that's what matters."
Shannen plays "Prue Halliwell" on the show "Charmed". One of the charmed-ones, a good witch. After three seasons she was written out of the show. For personal reasons. So she gets killed by a demon. Afterwards she is replaced by "Paige", a lost sister, to revive "the power of three".
