    What do you think has been her best film? I have only seen her in SCREAM and in Phantoms but definitely prefer her as Tatum in SCREAM. It is a brilliant film and her role and acting is great. I only wish the writers had found a way to bring her back for the sequels, like they did with Randy, butMore that was a pretty horific death - crushed by a garage door. Yuck!

    Rose McGowan is best known for her role of Paige Matthews, half sister of Prue, Piper and Phoebe Halliwell in the tv series "Charmed", but for a time, she was equally recognizeable as the fiancee of rock star Marilyn Manson. hide show

    Born on September 5th, 1973 in Florence, Italy, to a French mother and an Irish father, Rose McGowan is possibly best known for the her role as Paige Matthews in the television series "Charmed" Rose joined the show at the beginning of Season Four after the departure of Shannen Doherty at the end of the third season. Rose's character, Paige Matthews, turned out to be the half sister of the Halliwell sisters; the result of an affair between their mother, Patty, and her Whitelighter, Sam.

    Although stepping in to replace such a well known actress as Shannen Doherty, Rose soon had legions of fans of her own. As the youngest, most inexperienced Halliwell witch, Paige had her share of problems, but McGowan played her with a warmth, sincerity and at times child-like innocence which only served to increase her popularity with the show's fans.

    Rose has also been in the public eye as the former fiance of singer Marilyn Manson and because of stories of alleged drug abuse and her family's involvement in a religious cult known as The Children Of God. Rose has constantly denied the rumors of drug use and ended her realtionship with Manson in 2001 reportedly due to having become disillusioned by the lifestyle of the rocker. A fine singer herself, Rose treated "Charmed" fans to a rendition of 'Fever' during her time on the show.

    Rose has also had roles in films such as "Scream" (1996)and "Planet Terror" (2007) and is well regarded by directors and producers in Hollywood.

    rose is an amazing actress and gave charmed a fresh vibe to it. hide show

    rose is so talented at what ever project she does whether it is comedy, horror or even action. she gets into the character which helps her give an even better performance. she has done so well with her career after starting out in The Doom Generation. Rose has got such a great feel to her that keeps her getting parts in movies. She always gives 110% in all of her performances which what can i see she pulls it off very well. i just hope that rose keeps get more and more roles that will suit her well, but no matter what the role is rose always pulls it off.

    Famous for playing Paige Matthews on the hit television series Charmed. hide show

    At first, when McGowan came to be on the cast of Charmed, i was mad, because i loved Prue, and thought that Shannen was fantastic. Then some of my fears, became reality during the fourth season, when McGowan gave a decent, but not nearly as well as Doherty. I was still a little angry. But then the fifth season, sixth, seventh, and eighth seasons really showed how talented this actress was. I was completely blown away, and was in a way, glad that Prue was killed off, and that we had Paige to accept. Rose McGowan is very talented and im looking forward to some more of her work.

    Charmingly Charming! hide show

    Rose McGowan is just being herself, and that's why I think lots of people like her. She's a beautiful person, who follows the beat of her own drum. I loved her in Jawbreaker, she makes a great villain, but I think most people got to know her more in Charmed as Paige. I think they said they actually made the character for her, so that's why they relate a bit, if not a lot. I love her voice, as well. It's beautiful! She has this song with BT called Superfabulous, that you can hear on youtube. That's one of my top three fav songs of all time. If your gonna listen to it, I think they have like two Charmed videos, choose the 4 minute one, because it has the strange conversation as well. I think she was also inspired by her Charmed experience with the song. She also did a few songs for the double feature Grindhouse soundtrack, and you can hear her sing Fever in Season 5 of Charmed in the episode Sense and Sense Ability. I think all of the Charmed stars have sang at least once. Holly in an episode of Picket Fences (the first episdoe I think), Shannen has this song on youtube as well called Stop, and we all know Alyssa has sang before, if they haven't erased it, she has a song called New Sensation that someone used for a video of Charmed. Anyway, Rose is a very beautiful, and very talented unique person. Colorful, I guess, would be the word to describe her. I love colorful people!

    So original and natural in her job! I don't know how she does but I get so happy when I see her... hide show

    So great in the screen that I will go to see her next film just to see her!!! She's so natural and original!
    She is so young and she is already a big actress that will be forever in the future of filming! The saddest part gets high in her eyes! She knows how to do the scenes so painful! She knows how to cry aswell! The scenes with strengh get perfect in her way!

    But I love so much her style: So natural, it's like see a real person. She throw away all the "I'm-real-serious,I-Can't-Smile" thing! And knows how to make everyone smile! (Specially with that strange thing that she does when she smiles!! She is so lovely!)

    But... i have to say something more... I hate seeing you die in scream! (Now I get I trauma!) Xd It was like... "Don't, don't" "NO! She's gonna..." "auch!!!" It was horrible see that: Don't Do It Again!! Xd

    I will admire her always!
