Rose/Paige's Page

Name - Rose McGowan
Birthday September 5
Hometown Florence, Italy
Over the years, Rose had a variety of jobs and often had to lie about her age in order to get them. She worked as a waitress, sales clerk, ticket taker and other minimum wage jobs. She was even forced to live on the streets for a while. Rose went to several beauty schools, and eventually followed a boyfrend to L.A. While she was there, she started her acting career with a cameo in the movie "Encino Man." Her first acting opportunity came in 1992's Encino Man, but it was over three years before she did any other roles. Her first real break came while she was in L.A. to attend arts school and Gregg Araki met her outside of a gym and decided to cast her in his Sundance entry, Doom Generation. Despite the fact that most of her fame has come from more commercial films like Scream, Bio-Dome and Phantoms, most of her roles have been independent productions, and she is often compared to indie-queen Parker Posey. Rose McGowan has just got out of a 3 1/2 year relationship with rocker Marilyn Manson. They met at the 1997 premere for the movie Gummo. They were engaged to be married, but their lifestyle differences parted them.
