Witches 20 years later: what the cast of ‘Bewitched’ look like now

In the early 2000s, the series “Charmed” gained great popularity among viewers in Russia and became truly cult. It was especially loved by the female television audience. Almost 22 years after the release of the first series, we decided to remember the main heroes and heroines of the picture and show you how they look now.

Shannen Doherty

Role: Prue Halliwell.

Doherty played the role of Prue’s older sister, who died at the end of the third season. The actress turned 49 years old a month ago. In 2015, she was diagnosed with breast cancer. Shannen for a while managed to beat the terrible disease with the help of several courses of chemotherapy and mastectomy, but in February this year, the girl shared the sad news – she had a relapse. Doherty is constantly supported by her husband, movie producer Kurt Iswarenko, with whom she got married in 2011. He became the actress’ third spouse.

Still, Shannon returned to filming, producing the movie “House of My Nightmares”. She also played the role of a mother in the movie “Nobody Wanted to Talk”, and in 2019 Doherty appeared in one episode of the famous series “Riverdale”. At the moment, the actress intends to carefully monitor her own health and, if possible, continue to star in movies. But now Shannon in his “instagram” urges everyone to stay home.

Holly Mary Combs

Role: Piper Halliwell.

The actress started starring in “Bewitched” at the age of 25 and was originally cast as Prue. But the producers of the series gave her the image of Piper, who had incredible abilities to explode and freeze objects. As a result, Holly starred in the series until its completion in 2006. After participating in such a large-scale project Combs appeared in the film “Pretty Little Liars”, playing the role of the mother of the main character. In 2011, the actress divorced her husband David Donoho, to whom she gave birth to three children.

Already in 2015, Holly met with restaurateur Mike Ryan. In September last year, the couple played a modest wedding, and in an interview Combs said that “intends to be around him for at least another 50 years.” The 46-year-old actress has now put on weight due to age-related changes. She is now less likely to star in movies, devoting more time to her personal life. Last year she appeared in the TV series “Grey’s Anatomy”, and nothing is known about the upcoming movies with the participation of the former Charmed.

Alyssa Milano

Role: Phoebe Halliwell.

Milano was a famous actress even before the series “Bewitched”, but the role of Phoebe’s youngest sister made her a real star. In addition to acting, Alyssa recorded music albums and hosted television shows. In 2007, she met love in the person of sports agent David Bagliari. Recently, in one of her interviews, the actress revealed that she suffered a miscarriage in 2009 and often had abortions in the 90s. “It was my choice, and I think it was absolutely the right choice. You need to mature to raise a child, and in 20 years I did not know how to do it,” – said the performer of the role of Phoebe. Now she is raising a son and a daughter with her husband.

By the way, after childbirth Alyssa strongly corrected, but was able to get rid of 20 extra pounds with the help of Hollywood diet, the essence of which is to reduce the intake of carbohydrates. Nevertheless, Milano admitted that she did not suffer from dietary restrictions, and the result of fruitful work we can see on fresh photos in social networks.

The actress actively engaged in charity work. Basically, Milano helps people who have faced incurable diseases. She also fights for women’s rights. For example, she did not like the fact that in the United States in several states introduced a ban on abortion. Today, the 47-year-old actress looks great while continuing to star in TV series. Like Combs, last year she appeared in the project “Grey’s Anatomy”. In addition, Alyssa continues to work on television as the host of the show “Runway. All Stars.”

Rose McGowan

Role: Paige Matthews.

For McGowan series “Bewitched” was a real breakthrough, but after the completion of filming she was haunted by constant problems in her personal life. In 2007, she began dating with Marilyn Manson, but two years later the couple broke up because of the musician’s problems with drugs. The next relationship was with director Robert Rodriguez, who gave Rose the lead role in the movie “Fear Planet”. But before the wedding it never came to the wedding, and the paths of young people separated. The only marriage McGowan with the artist Davey Dietale lasted two years and ended in divorce.

Last year, the name of the actress appeared in the case of Harvey Weinstein. Rose spoke about the rape as well as harassment of the producer. But McGowan herself was not once accused of drug use, although she denied everything. This greatly affected her career. Now the actress rarely starred in movies and TV series, and the last couple of years on the screen does not appear at all. By the way, in 46 children Rose radically changed her appearance and style. Now she is not even recognized with short blond hair, but a note of boldness and a great figure with the star remained.

Brian Krause

Role: Leo White.

Krause played the main male role in the series “Bewitched”, she and brought the actor a real success. However, after the end of filming large proposals to Brian did not arrive. Because of the decline in acting career he had problems with alcohol. In 2010, drunken Krause made a scandal at the airport, but over time was still able to stop drinking alcoholic beverages and return to a healthy lifestyle. The man starred in episodes of the TV series “Castle” and “Dynasty”.

Today Brian often travels, is fond of golf and rarely appears on television screens. But he can be seen on the theater stage. In addition, he decided to learn the profession of a builder to build a house with his own hands. Personal life, the man tries not to advertise. He has an only son – 23-year-old Jayman, who was born before his divorce from actress Beth Bruce in 2000.

Julian McMahon

Role: Cole Turner.

The actor was initially signed to a one-season contract, but later decided to extend his stay in the series. After filming in “Bewitched” Julian on the wave of success starred in another popular film – “Body Parts”. It came out until 2010 and made McMahon a real sex symbol of the time.

For the past 17 years, the actor has been in a relationship with Kelly Pagnagua. In 2014, the couple played a wedding. Julian continues to star in films and TV series, but plays mostly supporting roles. Now McMahon can be seen in the American drama series “FBI”, where he got into the image of Agent Jess Lacroix. And age changes to the man, it seems, generally try to bypass.
