Latest revision as of 21:27, 26 August 2020

Born September 5, 1973, Rose McGowan was known early in her career for such movies as The Doom Generation and 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 machine-gun leg).

Rose McGowan provides examples of the following tropes:

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.
Everybody Remembers The Go-Go Dancer: Especially when she has 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 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.
