Shannen Doherty says breast cancer battle improved her acting
Shannen Doherty is crediting her breast cancer battle with improving her acting.
“Cancer helps me get in touch with everything within myself, so I have a
lot more to draw on,” she explained to People. “Certainly cancer, in
general, made me a much more aware of what really matters in life. You
become aware that it’s all the little things that make the day an
amazing day or make the year an amazing year. And all of that is
something you can use in your acting.”
Doherty, who will next appear in Lifetime’s “No One Would Tell” remake,
is in remission after undergoing chemotherapy, a mastectomy and
reconstructive surgery. The former “Charmed” star said she’s ready to
work again.
“I don’t want cancer to be the only thing I’m focused on,” Doherty, 47,
shared. “I’m an actor first and foremost. I love my craft.”
Doherty prepared for her reconstruction surgery while filming her Lifetime movie, which helped her gain more confidence.
“I think any woman or man, anytime that you go through something like
reconstruction or prior to reconstruction, obviously you’re not feeling
100 percent about yourself,” she said. “But at the same time, I think
you’re just so grateful to be alive.”
