    • Actress Melissa Gilbert played Shannen's aunt on Little House on the Prairie: A New Beginning, when Shannen was just a child. Gilbert said that at the time, Shannen was "an adorable little girl and very sweet". Years later, however, Gilbert claims that Shannen slept with her first husband while they were separated, but not yet divorced. Since then, the two actresses have had very minimal contact with each other, aside from a small confrontation that they had at an awards show while Shannen's hit show, Beverly Hills, 90210, was popular.
    • Shannen fondly remembers playing 10-year-old Jenny Wilder on Little House on the Prairie for a year. She claims that in her entire career, she has never worked with a "more affectionate group," going on to say that "everyone in the cast was family."
    • In 2009, Shannen will be appearing in the TV movie Encounter with Danger. It's a thriller in which her character is searching for her boyfriend (played by Mark Humphrey) who has disappeared while on vacation.

    • Shannen: Look, there are three things that have allowed me to work for as long as I've worked. The first is my fans. The second is my talent. And the third is my competitive nature. I hate sucking at anything.
    • Shannen: (In 2008, about Tori Spelling writing negative things about her in her autobiography) I had certain pages sent to me. The vast majority of it was over-exaggerated. Maybe it's just a difference in how I was raised. I just don't think you write personal experiences about your co-stars in a book. In 27 years of acting, I have never sold out any of my cast members, and I will stick to that.
    • Shannen: (on reuniting with former rival Jennie Garth for the 90210 spinoff) The only bad thing was that while we were trying to catch up with each other, people were constantly watching us. Every single eyeball was on us. I don't know what they were expecting. I was more interested in talking to Jennie about Dancing With the Stars. I thought she was amazing. Of course I voted for her.
