Born Sep 5, 1975 (or 1973) in Florence, Italy . Reportedly 5' 1" (or 5' 3"), 34C.

Raised in an Italian sex cult by weird hippie parents, Rose McGowan quickly became the outspoken, voluptuous new Venus and all-around Cool Chick of independent films after her appearances in The Doom Generation and Scream. Nowadays, of course, she's probably more famous for being the sometime fiancée of Marylin Manson and for her see-through dress at the MTV awards show than for any of her work since Scream, and a lot of her outspokenness is coming off as a bit contrived. She'd do well to stay off the snacks and get herself into another respectable indie picture before the nebula of cool enveloping her career completely dissipates.

The 67th Annual Golden Globe Awards: In case you had a life that evening
Monday, January 18, 2010

Recovering From Grindhouse
Wednesday, April 11, 2007
Alright, so Grindhouse is a huge, 75 million dollar bomb, and everyone has his theory why — some say it’s too long, some say it too closely imitates the dreck of a bygone era, and some say there’s simply no substitute for the charm of actual dreck.... Read more

Friday, September 15, 2006
The tedious, convoluted adaptation of James Ellroy’s novel, starring Josh Hartnett, Aaron Eckhart, Mia Kirshner, Scarlett Johansson, Hilary Swank (in a role wisely turned down by Eva Green), Rose McGowan (the film’s stand-out weak acting link), and a ton of others, opens today.... Read more

Rose McGowan To Be in Grindhouse
Wednesday, August 9, 2006
I’m not sure what Snakes on a Plane’s chances are of becoming the cult classic internet pre-fans want it to be, but from the very little I’ve heard of Grindhouse — which features Rose McGowan killing people with a prosthetic machine gun leg — the Tarantino-Rodriguez double-feature horror flick seems destined for b-movie immortality when it opens next April....

The Season of the Witch Comes to an End
Friday, March 3, 2006
After eight seasons on the air, Charmed will be among the sacrificial lambs of the WB-UPN union this fall. Disappointing news for Alyssa Milano, perhaps, but devastating news for Holly Marie Combs and probably Rose McGowan as well. The last episode of Charmed will air May 21.... Read more
