2:14

I've never felt like this

2:16

before. It's like you just get

2:18

me. I feel like my true

2:20

self with you. Does that

2:22

sound crazy? And it doesn't

2:24

hurt that you're gorgeous. Okay,

2:27

that's it. I'm taking you

home with me. I mean, you can't

2:36

you, from brands you love,

2:38

like Birkenstock, Nike, Adidas, and

2:40

more at your DS store

2:43

or DS. In

12:01

fact, I was so obsessed with

12:04

the movie Heathers that I remember

12:06

telling my dad when he had

12:08

shown me originally was called Class

12:10

of Beverly Hills, it was the

12:12

script, the pilot script for 9-0-2-0,

12:15

and he was looking to cast

12:17

Brenda and Brandon Walsh. And I

12:19

brought him a picture of Shannon

12:21

and I was like, this is

12:24

Brenda Walsh. You have to put her

12:26

in it. And it was just because I

12:28

was such a huge fan, I just loved

12:30

her so much, I thought she was so

12:32

great. And I mean, my dad would always

12:34

take my word on something. It's not like

12:36

he would put someone in it

12:38

just to put the minute, like

12:40

obviously he did his due diligence

12:43

and had her come in to

12:45

read and everything, but you know,

12:47

she was it obviously because she

12:49

was amazing and she was supposed

12:51

to be friend of Walsh always,

12:53

but It's just so interesting that

12:55

I was like, oh my God,

12:57

this is the it girl. I

12:59

had the privilege of working with

13:01

Shannon for four seasons on Beverly

13:03

Hills 90210 when her beloved character

13:05

Brenda Walsh became a household name.

13:07

I definitely went through a lot

13:10

of growing pains on that show.

13:12

There was beautiful moments for me

13:14

and there were really hard moments

13:17

for me. I recall when tension

13:19

started happening on the set and

13:21

It was always awesome to me

13:24

that the boys got along

13:26

so well, and it wasn't

13:28

necessarily the same with the

13:30

girls. I was pretty exhausted,

13:32

and I was going through

13:35

a lot of my own growing

13:37

up, and it just seemed that

13:39

I was really getting the brunt

13:42

of why is the show about

13:44

Brenda and Brandon? Well, because

13:46

it's about the watches. I

13:48

didn't write the show, but...

13:51

I think I give us

13:53

more allowance now to forgive

13:56

ourselves and to

13:58

forgive others. for being

14:00

freaking kids. And it's important

14:03

to note that when Shannon

14:05

left 902-210, she was literally

14:07

at the height of her

14:09

career. And she could have

14:11

chosen a number of projects

14:13

at that point, but she

14:15

definitely was a true trailblazer.

14:17

And she chose to make

14:19

the indie movie Mall Rats

14:21

with a then up-and-coming director

14:23

named Kevin Smith. They were

14:25

like... Uh, you know, there's

14:27

this movie, but you have

14:29

to audition. I was like,

14:31

okay, let me read it.

14:33

And then I read it

14:35

and they're like, it's Kevin

14:37

Smith and he did clerks

14:39

and I'm like, okay, let

14:41

me watch that. And I

14:43

was like, yeah, okay, I'll

14:45

audition. It was like the

14:47

monologues. It was crazy. And,

14:49

but I did it. The

14:51

best dialogue I've ever gotten

14:53

to say. Mall Rats was

14:55

not a box office success

14:57

when it premiered in 1995.

14:59

In fact, Shannon felt that

15:01

the indie flick hurt her

15:03

career in film, but Shannon's

15:05

loyalty to Director Kevin Smith

15:07

never wavered. And with time,

15:10

Mall Rats ended up becoming

15:12

a cult classic. Shannon loved

15:14

playing Renee in the film

15:16

and hoped to one day

15:18

reprise her role in a

15:20

Mall Rats sequel. Bring

18:30

Shannon played the starring role in

18:32

a movie based on a true

18:35

story called Gone in the Night.

18:37

I felt a deep responsibility to

18:39

the family to portray their story

18:41

accurately. There was just a lot

18:43

of pressure that I felt doing

18:45

that movie and it's also one

18:47

that I'm really really really proud

18:50

of. I think it turned out.

18:52

wonderful. The cast was amazing. Yeah,

18:54

that would go down as a

18:56

piece of work that I'm extremely

18:58

proud of. A few years later,

19:00

we heard Shannon Singh in a

19:03

TV movie called Friends Till the

19:05

End. After that movie came out,

19:07

I had a couple of meetings

19:09

with some amazing record people and

19:11

it was something that I discussed,

19:13

but ultimately I think I was

19:15

incredibly insecure about my singing voice

19:18

and I was also insecure about

19:20

how people would receive that from

19:22

me because there was so much

19:24

other stuff going on with rumors

19:26

about me that adding to it.

19:28

I think I just got, I

19:31

think I got scared, I chickened

19:33

out of doing anything with singing.

19:35

I might regret it a little

19:37

bit, but not too much. Shannon

19:39

continued making magic on television when

19:41

she played Prue Hallowell in three

19:43

seasons of Charn, which is also

19:46

where she learned to direct. When

19:48

I direct something, I do a

19:50

lot of shot list and... I

19:52

like to have storyboards done and

19:54

I usually base the aesthetic, the

19:56

look of it on a particular

19:59

painting. So for instance, the last

20:01

episode I directed of Charmed, it

20:03

was based on a Salvador Dolly

20:05

painting that was the color scheme,

20:07

the aesthetic, the mood, everything else.

20:09

And then I just like to

20:11

be overly prepared because I don't

20:14

think that people have to work

20:16

16 hours on a TV show

20:18

a day. So. I'd like to

20:20

know how I can condense things,

20:22

how I can put people in

20:24

two shots, how many cameras can

20:27

I actually use, still be on

20:29

budget, hopefully come in under budget,

20:31

and get people out at a

20:33

normal hour so that they can

20:35

go home and have family time.

20:37

Shannon worked with her fair share

20:39

of major leading men, from Mel

20:42

Gibson to Bruce Willis. She appeared

20:44

in several films from director James

20:46

Cullen Brusick. The Bruce Willis movie,

20:48

it was called The Fortress, that

20:50

also was a really kind of

20:52

fascinating experience for me, and I

20:55

just remember this scene with him

20:57

that was written one way. It

20:59

was written as I'm a general

21:01

and I'm an actual bad guy,

21:03

and he's the good guy hero,

21:05

as Bruce Willis always is. And

21:07

it was just me sort of

21:10

saying, you know, this is how

21:12

it works, buddy, essentially. And in

21:14

that moment of filming it. Bruce

21:16

and I had a very different

21:18

connection. For me as an actor

21:20

I can tell you that I've

21:23

had a couple of really like

21:25

raw moments. You know, I mean

21:27

you hope that all of them

21:29

come across is like raw honest

21:31

moments, but personally very raw honest

21:33

moments that are captured on screen

21:36

and that was one of them.

21:38

Those are the moments that I

21:40

always look back and I'm like,

21:42

oh man, that's when I was

21:44

my best. Is what I'm like

21:46

the most raw and sort of

21:48

broken down because there's no... there's

21:51

no wall, there's no pretense, you're

21:53

not self-conscious, you're not any of

21:55

those things, you're just like in

21:57

the moment and it's something that...

21:59

I strive for as an actor.

22:01

And while I have mentioned some

22:04

of her biggest career accomplishments, Shannon's

22:06

legacy is so much more than

22:08

her IMDB page, she was a

22:10

loving friend and a furious warrior

22:12

when it came to standing up

22:14

for what she believed in. She

22:16

wasn't afraid of anything or anyone,

22:19

and yet she had such a

22:21

kind heart. She was sensitive, underneath

22:23

what she put front as a

22:25

tough exterior. and her dignity mattered

22:27

to her more than any career

22:29

accolade. Being my own cheerleader has

22:32

been a tough one for me

22:34

that I have not mastered and

22:36

yeah you know you hear a

22:38

story and I hear this from

22:40

a lot of people or I

22:42

used to hear it from a

22:44

lot of people of oh I

22:47

was warned about you and I

22:49

was told that you're difficult or

22:51

you're this and it's so hard

22:53

for me to realize that there's

22:55

a whole like narrative and agenda

22:57

that's out there about me that

23:00

has almost nothing to do with

23:02

me. As you know, I'm pretty

23:04

sensitive and I tend to take

23:06

a lot of things personal and

23:08

it hurts me that there's, you

23:10

know, something out there about me

23:12

that is not true or isn't

23:15

100% of the truth or there's,

23:17

you know, two sides to every

23:19

story. There's this, there's that. I

23:21

can't worry about like the random

23:23

10 people that that are pissed

23:25

that I'm saying something. I've got

23:28

to worry about. like am I

23:30

being honest to me? She fought

23:32

constantly for female voices in Hollywood.

23:34

We still obviously have a very

23:36

long way to go because I

23:38

think that particularly in my business

23:40

I think there's still a lot

23:43

of like misogyny like I think

23:45

that how women are treated in

23:47

this business and I think I've

23:49

said it that I don't think

23:51

that things have changed nearly enough

23:53

but at least there's some change.

23:56

She fought for cancer thrivers around

23:58

the world. She fought for... rights

24:00

with all her passion and soul.

24:02

And I can't think of a

24:04

better legacy for such a

24:06

beautiful person. I'm familiar with

24:09

Helen Back. A couple of times

24:11

I've been through Helen Back now. You

24:13

know, at the end of the day,

24:15

people have to learn their own lessons

24:18

in life and shit happens in life.

24:20

And it's okay to talk about it.

24:22

And it's okay to share it. All

24:24

I'm really trying to show all of

24:27

you is who I really am. who

24:29

I've always been and who I am

24:31

deep down. Let's be clear. Shannon

24:33
