 | Birthday: September 5 Born in: Florence, Italy "I eat a lot more now because I need to have a lot more energy. The good news is you eat more and you gain weight and then you get made fun of by millions of people on TV! That's the good news. Can you tell I am trying really hard right not to make you feel sorry for me? It's quite ridiculous because I love this job. It's one of the best things that's happened to me." One of six children, Rose was a citizen of the world at an early age. Raised in Italy, she spent her childhood traveling throughout Europe. She returned to the U.S. to attend high school in Seattle. A chance trip to Los Angeles resulted in her being cast in the film The Doom Generation. Her performance in Gregg Araki's dark and stylish road movie earned her a nomination for Best Newcomer at the 1996 Independent Spirit Awards. Also in 1996, Rose appeared in Wes Craven's smash hit "Scream" as Sydney's (Neve Campbell) doomed best friend who met with an unseemly death under a garage door. Since then, Rose has worked non-stop. In 1997, she had the distinction of starring in four films appearing at the Sundance Film Festival: "Going All the Way", "Louis & Clark & George", "Nowhere", and the short film "Seed." In 1998, Rose starred with Ben Affleck and Peter O'Toole in the feature thriller "Phantoms" and in the independent film "Southie", which won Best Picture at the 2000 Seattle Film Festival. Recent starring roles include the 1999 dark comedy "Jawbreaker", about three high school girls who conspire to cover up the accidental murder of their friend. In addition to her roles in "Scream" and "The Doom Generation", Rose was also seen in "Monkeybone", co-starring Brendan Fraser. She will next star in the independent film "Vacuums" which was co-written and will be directed by Luke Cresswell and Steve McNicholas, the two that created the Broadway hit "Stomp".
