Shannen Doherty’s ‘Heathers’ costar Lisanne Falk paid tribute to the actress following her death, praising Doherty’s ‘courage’ amid her cancer battle
Shannen Doherty’s former Heathers costar Lisanne Falk is reflecting on being the “last remaining Heather” following the actress’ death.
“I’ve felt quite conflicted about whether I should post anything about Shannen’s passing,” Falk, 59, captioned a photo of her and Doherty in the 1988 comedy via Instagram on Monday, July 15. “TBH, Shannen and I weren’t friends. I hadn’t seen or spoken to her since the cast & crew screening of HEATHERS, the movie that defined us both in a public fashion.”
“I am truly saddened to hear the news,” Falk continued. “And if her portrayal of Heather Duke were to serve as her epitaph, I, for one, as the last remaining Heather would think it more than sufficient. Certainly no one else could have landed the line: ‘Veronica, why are you pulling my d–k?’ like Shannen did,” she added, referring to Doherty’s iconic line to Winona Ryder’s Veronica Sawyer.
