Mallrats star Shannen Doherty tells director Kevin Smith that the 1995 film killed her film career when it ended up becoming a box office flop.

LMAO...MMMKAY.

It's easy to look back and mock the Kevin Smith craze but who is she kidding? The end of 90210 killed her one hit wonder of a career

reply

SHE LEFT EARLY WITH A CHIP ON HER SHOULDER AND A BAD REPUTATION.


SAME THING SHE DID WITH HER SECOND CHANCE WITH CHARMED.

That's right; I forgot she was in that show when it started. Blaming Mallrats for the downfall of her career is even more funny in light of that.

Turns out Milano basically got her fired from the show. But for some reason everybody just assumed she bailed again. For sure that cemented her with a reputation of "too difficult to work with".

reply

REALLY?...WOW...MILANO HAS THAT REPUTATION TOO THOUGH...SO IT MAKES SENSE.

reply

A bit of she said, she said here, but all the details make it seem pretty true.

I'm sure it did, honestly. She was a tv actress trying to make a breakthrough into film and prove herself a bankable star. And she chose a raunchy dick joke script to do it with. SHE killed her career. And if that's the best movie she could claw her way into, she was never gonna be a movie star no how.
