Born September 5, 1973, '''Rose McGowan''' was known early in her career for such movies as ''[[The Doom Generation]]'' and ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]''. She had a resurgence in popularity with the TV show ''[[Charmed]]'' (as the fourth sister brought in when Prue died), and her ''dual'' roles in ''[[Grindhouse]]'' (with the [[Leg Cannon|machine-gun leg]]).

{{creatortropes}}
* [[Acting for Two]]: Played two different characters in ''[[Grindhouse]]'', Pam (the blond party girl) in ''Death Proof'' and Cherry Darling (the go-go dancer) in ''Planet Terror''. Notable in that three other actors from Planet Terror played the same characters briefly in Death Proof, as well as two other actors playing different characters like her.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Her one scene in the film ''Nowhere'' was with her ''[[Charmed]]'' sister Shannen Doherty, whom she never had any scenes with on the show.
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Has been all three colours but notable on ''[[Charmed]]'' that she cycled through all four in her first few seasons. Was black in season 4, red in 5, blonde in 6 and brown in 7 and 8.
* [[But Not Too Foreign]]: Is actually Italian-American but looks very pale, largely due to also being half Irish. Interestingly, her on-screen sister Alyssa Milano is also Italian-American.
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
* [[Dumb Blonde]]: Pam arguably.
* [[Dyeing for Your Art]]: Dyed her hair blonde for ''[[Scream (film)|Scream]]''.
* [[Everybody Remembers the Stripper|Everybody Remembers The Go-Go Dancer]]: Especially when she has [[Grindhouse|a machine-gun for a leg]].
* [[Fake American]]: She was born and raised in Italy but has spent most of her life in America. She can still speak the language though.
* [[Guest Host]]: McGowan cohosted ''The Essentials'' on [[Turner Classic Movies]] in 2008.
* [[Heroes Want Redheads]]: A large amount of her fans prefer her with the red hair.
* [[Money, Dear Boy|Money, Dear Girl]]: During ''[[Charmed]]'', she made it very clear that she just liked having a paycheck.
* [[Ms. Fanservice]]: More so early in her career.
* [[Parental Abandonment]]: Got herself emancipated at 14 years old.
* [[Romance on the Set]]: With [[Robert Rodriguez]] on ''[[Grindhouse]]''.
* [[Perky Goth]]: Somewhat subverted. Definitely unflappable.
* [[Stripperiffic]]: Some of her more outrageous ''[[Charmed]]'' outfits, such as the Valkyrie and wood nymph. Justified in ''Planet Terror'', as she plays go-go dancer Cherry Darling.
