'Dancing With the Stars': Shannen Doherty does a Viennese waltz for her dad

We didn't know that Brenda Walsh ... er, Shannen Doherty ... was afraid of anything, but turns out she's got such a fear of performing live that it can cause her to break out in hives.
Actually, considering we saw a TV critic make her cry during a press junket once, this doesn't completely surprise us.

And her initial turn on the "Dancing With the Stars" floor -- performing a Viennese waltz with partner Mark Ballas -- was definitely a nervous one. But she still made the judges -- straight "6"s -- and her dad (semi)proud.
Bruno Tonioli praised her for tackling such "difficult" choreography her first week out, although he also said she she was swinging around her arms "like a primate." Meanwhile Carrie Anna Inaba saw definite potential.
"I see something," Inanba said, "It's coming."
