Maintaining any relationship in Hollywood (romantic or otherwise) can be a difficult task.
But when celebrities connect with other stars, they sure seem to hold on to that bond.
Staying on good terms with other female figures wasn’t always Doherty’s forte.
Let’s take a look at one of the most sincere friendships ever forged in the City of Stars.
She was on the series for four seasons before she was fired due to her on-set behavior.
Fellow former child starSarah Michelle Gellar got her break on the soap opera"All My Children."
Just a year later, the web link greenlit another supernatural series, “Charmed.”
“It wasn’t really a female-friendly time period at all,” Doherty said.
At least Sarah Michelle Gellar had Shannen Doherty to help her out.
Gellar also told the publication that the pair spoke every day during this period.
The two also were a part of each other’s “COVID pod.”
“It was a difficult time,” Gellar toldE!
Newsin early 2024 after the podcast episode caused a stir.
“I was there for it.
I think Shannen’s just about sharing her truths in general right now …
I will support her.
I know it wasn’t the easiest time, but she’s a different person now.”
After sharing some laughs together, Doherty praised Gellar for being so supportive of her during her illness.
Gellar shared a sweet photograph of the pair on herInstagrampage, with the two actors smiling side by side.
“For the first time in a couple of months, I feel hopeful,” she told listeners.
For starters, year after year, Gellar posted tributes to Doherty on her birthday.
“Happy Birthday Shan!”
Doherty also paid tribute to her friend on socials when their shared birthday season came around.
(Gellar’s birthday falls on April 14; Doherty was born on April 12.)
Of course, they didn’t only post about one another when it was someone’s birthday.
In late 2020, the two teamed up for some Thanksgivingsponcon for Kroger.
Before that, they got together for a pool hangout and documented the shenanigans on social media.
Doherty shared a photograph to herInstagrampage of herself and Gellar in the water, battling an inflatable bull.
“Ride the bull she said.
It’s fun she said,” Doherty quipped.
On July 13, 2024,Doherty died at the age of 53from breast cancer.
After the news broke, Sarah Michelle Gellar opened up on social media about losing her longtime friend.
Among them were sweet throwbacks from their younger days.
The caption was the perfect tribute to a decades-long friendship.
“I keep reminding myself it only hurts this much because there was so much love.
Thank you for all your kind words and support.
Talk about a bittersweet and thoughtful way to honor a dear friend.
