Rose McGowan: Turning Over a New Paige
Feb 14, 2005 - Lynn Barker
She's that gorgeous red-head, uh now brunette witchy sister Paige on "Charmed", now entering it's seventh season on the WB. Perky, flirty Rose McGowan joined the show when the oldest Halliwell sis Prue, played by Shannen Doherty, left...uh died and she's been a welcomed addition as she "orbs" in and out of trouble and tries to make a go of the local Magic School.
A true rolling stone with a European childhood that saw the actress traveling almost non-stop, Rose landed in Seattle for high school and started an unexpected film career where you might have first seen her as one of the kids freaked out in the original Scream. After cutting the 150th episode cake at a celebration on the Paramount lot, Rose curled up in a big lounge chair on the Halliwell house attic set to chat with us about changes in her life (she both welcomes and hates them), joining the show mid-stream and her fave episode. Picture a dark ponytail and a little vest over jeans.
TeenTelevision: Does it feel like your first day was yesterday or years ago?
Rose: Both. It feels like my tired side says 5,000 years ago, and my fun side says it feels like the blink of an eye.
TeenTelevision: There's a chance that the show could end this May. How do you feel about that?
