Biography

Early life

McGowan, the second-eldest of six children (plus two half-siblings), was born in Florence, Italy, the daughter of Terri, a French-American writer, and Daniel McGowan, an American-born, Irish artist. [ [http://www.rosemcgowanonline.com/press/1997/058/ Bikini (US) - March 1, 1997] ] Daniel McGowan ran an Italian chapter of the Children of God to which both he and his wife held membership until 1978. McGowan spent her early childhood amid the group's communes, often traveling Europe with her parents. Through her father's art contacts in Italy, McGowan became a child model and appeared in "Vogue Bambini" and various other Italian magazines. Her parents returned to the United States when she was 10, [ [http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1285/is_n3_v27/ai_19481688/pg_5 A rose is a rose is a Rose McGowan] ] when they divorced. She subsequently relocated to Oregon and then Gig Harbor, Washington, where she also met childhood friend Rey-Phillip Santos. McGowan did not speak English until she moved to the U.S.

McGowan's formative years were spent with her father in Seattle, Washington, attending Roosevelt High School and Nova Alternative High School. At the age of 15, she officially emancipated herself from her parents. [Simms, Molly (2006), "In Full Bloom", [http://www.bust.com Bust Magazine] , Dec05/Jan06 ] McGowan pursued a possible career in the film industry during her late teens, and also enrolled in a beauty school as a back-up.

Career

McGowan made her first appearance in a Hollywood film with a bit role in the 1992 Pauly Shore comedy "Encino Man". Her role in the 1995 dark comedy "The Doom Generation" brought her to the attention of film critics, and she received a nomination for "Best Debut Performance" at the 1996 Independent Spirit Awards. McGowan was subsequently cast in a supporting role in the 1996 hit horror film "Scream".

McGowan spent the majority of the 1990s appearing in a variety of independent films, including roles in "Southie", "Going All the Way", and "Lewis & Clark & George". In 1997, she appeared in the critically acclaimed short "Seed," directed by San Francisco-born filmmaker Karin Thayer, and played opposite Peter O'Toole in the 1998 film adaptation of the Dean Koontz novel "Phantoms". Notably, McGowan also starred in the 1999 comedy "Jawbreaker", where she played a high school student who tries to cover up a classmate's murder. That role earned McGowan a nomination for Best Villain at the 1999 MTV Movie Awards.

In 2001, McGowan was cast as Paige Matthews in the popular The WB television series "Charmed", as a replacement lead actress after Shannen Doherty's departure from the show. She was offered to be a producer after the seventh season, but turned it down.

McGowan has admitted to sleepwalking as a child. "The weirdest spot I ever woke up was a snow bank in Montreal. Now I just speak Italian in my sleep." [ [http://www.maximonline.com/articles/index.aspx?a_id=282&src=GM7070:MD Maxim Mar 1999] Maxim Online.com] McGowan also suffers from agoraphobia, an anxiety disorder. [ [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000535/bio] IMDB.com]

McGowan is known as an activist for Boston Terriers. She herself has two, Bug and Fester, and has personally donated to various Boston rescues. McGowan reportedly encouraged friends to donate to [http://www.bostonrescue.net/ Boston Terrier Rescue Net] , and according to BTRN: "Having fallen in love with Bug and Fester, her friends donated generously. It amounted to a considerable contribution, which will go a long way in helping BTRN and the needy volunteers who selflessly give to deserving Bostons." [" [http://www.bostonrescue.net/News.html Boston Terrier Rescue Net] " "© 2005 ThePetGazette.com"]

According to an article in the "New York Post", McGowan suffered serious injuries in a car accident early in 2007. Riding as a passenger, her car was struck by another vehicle and the force of the impact drove her eyeglasses into her face. McGowan is quoted as saying, "I didn't realize I was hurt until I put my hand to my face and felt the flap of skin. My glasses had sliced me under my eye." After obtaining the services of a plastic surgeon, McGowan is reported to be suffering no long-lasting consequences from the incident. [ [http://www.nypost.com/seven/03182007/gossip/pagesix/narrow_escape_pagesix_.htm NY Post - Narrow Escape (03/18/07)] ]

Of her acting method, she has said "I'm not really one of those people who goes and writes some big backstory and agonizes over characters... For me personally, it's just kind of more instinctive. But I don't have kind of an acting background. I fell into it accidentally". [ [http://www.craveonline.com/filmtv/articles/04647688/rose_mcgowan_loves_the_absurd.html Rose McGowan loves the absurd] ]

Music

While dating Manson, McGowan appeared in a music video for the song "Coma White", and also performed backing vocals on the song "Posthuman." Both of these songs are available on the album "Mechanical Animals". Manson later wrote a track that is rumored to be inspired by their failed relationship "(s)AINT" found on the "Golden Age of Grotesque".

McGowan appeared on a BT track called "Superfabulous" from his album "Emotional Technology", which was also featured on the final "Charmed" soundtrack, "The Final Chapter". The song has been featured in several films, including "Win a Date with Tad Hamilton" and "Raising Helen". She wrote and recorded a song titled "Protection," which was featured in her 2001 film "Strange Hearts". McGowan has also appeared in the Imperial Teen music video for "Yoo Hoo", which was featured on the "Jawbreaker" soundtrack.

McGowan has expressed interest in recording an album of her own. During an interview with "Living TV", she said, "I was actually thinking of going back and doing more soulful tunes and older tunes...and I would love to, when I have a little bit more time." In the "Charmed" episode "Sense and Sense Ability," McGowan performed, in character, a cover of the Peggy Lee classic "Fever." In 2007, it was announced that McGowan would be performing three songs from the "Planet Terror" portion of "Grindhouse". These songs were released on the soundtrack by the Varese Sarabande label. [ [http://www.varesesarabande.com/details.asp?pid=vsd-302-066-807-2 Varese Sarabande Product Details - Grind House: Planet Terror] ] The songs are entitled "You Belong to Me" (a Dean Martin cover), "Useless Talent #32" and "Two Against the World."

IRA Controversy

Rose McGowan has expressed support for the cause of the Irish Republican Army (IRA), with the reports of her comments being released into the media on September 11, 2008. After starring in Fifty Dead Men Walking, she was quoted as saying "I imagine had I grown up in Belfast, I would 100% have been in the IRA. My heart just broke for the cause. Violence is not to be played out daily and provide an answer to problems, but I understand it." [http://www.thefirstpost.co.uk/people,1373,actress-rose-mcgowan-says-she-would-have-been-a-member-of-the-ira,44435] Her comments were attacked by the author of the autobiography upon which the film is based, Martin McGartland who said "Rose McGowan's comments were insulting to victims of IRA terrorism and she should apologize" [http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/northern_ireland/7609856.stm] .
