Sarah Michelle Gellar On Shannen Doherty: It ‘Hurts’ To Mourn ‘30 Years Of Friendship’
HuffPost
The two actors were incredibly close, with the “Buffy” alum being one of a handful of people Doherty confided in when her cancer returned.
Sarah Michelle Gellar has long flooded her Instagram account with photos of her and her close friend Shannen Doherty goofing off. But on Sunday, her nods to her pal of “30 years” took a more somber tone.
On Saturday, Doherty, who was best known for her roles in “Charmed” and “Beverly Hills, 90210,” died from stage 4 cancer after living with the disease since 2015. She was 53.
Gellar paid tribute to Doherty by posting numerous snaps of the duo hanging out together through the years on her Instagram stories.
The “Buffy the Vampire Slayer” alum also honored Doherty in a standalone post that included many of the same photos.
“How do you possibly find the right words to sum up 30 years of friendship?” Gellar began. “I keep reminding myself it only hurts this much because, there was so much love.”
