Actress Shannen Doherty recently reminisced about her first home purchase during a podcast episode with her Beverly Hills, 90210 co-star. The discussion revolved around their early days in the entertainment industry and the milestone of buying their own homes.
Her co-star, now 50, shared that he was among the first in the cast to buy a house, attributing it to earnings from commercials rather than the show itself. He mentioned purchasing a home in Burbank, California, while Doherty, who was 19 when 90210 began, bought her first house a few years after the show's debut.
Doherty recalled acquiring a house in Malibu around the age of 21 or 22. She humorously mentioned a financial hiccup with a leased-purchased property that she couldn't afford, leading to an amusing comparison with her co-star's Burbank residence.
After realizing the challenging commute to the 90210 set from her Malibu home, Doherty gave the property to her parents and relocated to Los Angeles for filming. Subsequently, during her time on Charmed, she opted for renting over owning, citing a lack of settlement as the reason.
Reflecting on her rental experiences, Doherty acknowledged the financial implications but highlighted the flexibility it provided during that period of her life.
