Rose McGowanRose McGowan on CharmedRose McGowan (born September 5, 1975, Florence, Italy) is an American actress. Born to a French mother and an Irish father who were members of the Children of God, and the second oldest of six children, Rose's parents divorced and she moved to Gig Harbor, Washington, when she was just nine years old. Her high school years were spent in Seattle, where her father ended up. It was in the U.S. that McGowan began modeling. Her first role was won at the age of 19 as Nora in Encino Man, but it wasn't until she ran away to Los Angeles, California and met independent film director Gregg Araki that she found her big break. Araki cast her as the female lead in his hit film The Doom Generation, where she portrayed a foul-mouthed sexpot in the midst of a violent, crime-prone bisexual love triangle. Rose McGowanAnother small role in the film Bio-Dome with Stephen Baldwin led to the role that brought her into major public attention. McGowan was cast as Tatum in the hit horror film Scream. As the anti-stereotypical busty blonde who gets slaughtered (by, of all things, a garage door) McGowan left a huge impression on the viewing audience. Soon she was appearing everywhere in independent films like Southie, Going All the Way, Lewis & Clark & George, and Phantoms by Dean Koontz. Her next critically acclaimed performance would be in the 1999 black comedy Jawbreakers where she played a high school student who tries to cover up her (allegedly) accidental murder of a friend. McGowan was quickly getting a reputation for playing brassy, bitchy and often violent characters, and to add to this reputation she began a very public romance with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. Soon McGowan was popping up as celebrity events in very revealing outfits with Manson on her arm. McGowan ended their two year engagement over "lifestyle differences". Then several unwise script choices (including a small role in the wrestling-themed movie Ready to Rumble, which was a massive bomb at the box-office) served to nearly push McGowan out of the limelight. However in 2001 she was cast as Paige Matthews in the hit television series Charmed as a replacement for Shannen Doherty. Currently she can be seen on the show weekly as part of a trio of witchy-sisters. She will soon portray Ann-Margret in Elvis, a Mini-series filming in 2005 for CBS about the life of Elvis Presley.

She will soon portray Ann-Margret in Elvis, a Mini-series filming in 2005 for CBS about the life of Elvis Presley. In addition the principal in the movie and in the video is played by the same actor. However in 2001 she was cast as Paige Matthews in the hit television series Charmed as a replacement for Shannen Doherty. Currently she can be seen on the show weekly as part of a trio of witchy-sisters. Their video for the ABBA cover "Dancing Queen" bears an unmistakable likeness plotwise to the 1985 John Hughes film "The Breakfast Club". Then several unwise script choices (including a small role in the wrestling-themed movie Ready to Rumble, which was a massive bomb at the box-office) served to nearly push McGowan out of the limelight. In late 2004, Dhani Lennevald released his first single as a solo artist titled "Girl Talk". McGowan ended their two year engagement over "lifestyle differences". Like many before them, the A-Teens have not achieved success like ABBA has, but then again, what ABBA had was something rare and very hard to recreate. Soon McGowan was popping up as celebrity events in very revealing outfits with Manson on her arm. In this album, they have a couple new songs, including a cover of Nick Kamen's single "I Promised Myself". McGowan was quickly getting a reputation for playing brassy, bitchy and often violent characters, and to add to this reputation she began a very public romance with shock-rocker Marilyn Manson. Finally, their lastest album Greatest Hits was released in Europe in 2004, leaving their American fans waiting for the lastest installment in A-Teens albums. Her next critically acclaimed performance would be in the 1999 black comedy Jawbreakers where she played a high school student who tries to cover up her (allegedly) accidental murder of a friend. The group went on tour with Play and LYNT that year. Soon she was appearing everywhere in independent films like Southie, Going All the Way, Lewis & Clark & George, and Phantoms by Dean Koontz. After they released their second album, Teen Spirit, a year later, they toured in the US with American pop star Aaron Carter. Their penultimate album in the US, Pop 'til you drop, also known in Europe and Asia as New Arrival, was released in 2002. As the anti-stereotypical busty blonde who gets slaughtered (by, of all things, a garage door) McGowan left a huge impression on the viewing audience. In 1999, they released their first album ABBA Generation consisting of ABBA covers. McGowan was cast as Tatum in the hit horror film Scream. Therefore, not wanting to cause a confrontation with their musical predecessor and icon, they shortened their name to A-Teens. Another small role in the film Bio-Dome with Stephen Baldwin led to the role that brought her into major public attention. They were first called the ABBA Teens, but a member of ABBA said that he would sue if they did not change their name. Araki cast her as the female lead in his hit film The Doom Generation, where she portrayed a foul-mouthed sexpot in the midst of a violent, crime-prone bisexual love triangle. The A-Teens are a pop group from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 1998. Her first role was won at the age of 19 as Nora in Encino Man, but it wasn't until she ran away to Los Angeles, California and met independent film director Gregg Araki that she found her big break.
