Antonio Sabato Jr. Mourns ‘Wonderful’ Shannen Doherty: ‘She Was an Angel’ (Exclusive)

“We worked many times together, she was a friend and a wonderful actress,” Sabato Jr., 52, exclusively told Us Weekly

Sabato Jr. and Doherty starred alongside each other on several occasions, including in 2014’s All I Want for Christmas. He also made a guest appearance on Charmed, where Doherty played Prue Halliwell. (While Doherty left after season 3, the series ended with its eighth season in 2006.)

“We’ve been working together since the ‘90s. All the stories about her being difficult in the ‘90s were untrue, she was never once problematic, she was the complete opposite,” he said. (After Doherty was fired from Beverly Hills, 90210, where she starred as Brenda Walsh, reports surfaced that she had tension with her costars.)
